Recommended Posts

From all reports Sheedy is ours, provided the powers that be want him, which i now know that they do.

I have had to edit this and another subsequent post, but rest assured it looks like he will be our new coach.

Stay tuned fellow Sheedy fans.

Sheedy has always hated the MFC.

Why on earth would he want to coach us if he has always hated us???

And why would we want him to coach us if he's always hated us???

Don't get me wrong, i would love Sheedy to coach the dees next year, but i'm a bit perplexed by this.

For obvious reasons i can't name my source and never will be able to, but if the great man does come across i will have an absolute belter of a source for some time to come.

Hopefully your source is happy for you to leak!

But I have to say if that is true then I am happy. Come on down Sheeds :)

Stop and think !! big ask...i know...lol

Sheeds grew up barracking for Essendon. It was an era when Melbourne as well as teh filth were the major contestants for the flag. In al teh gobbledegook than transpires for rivlary we are apt to foget that The Bombers and melbourne were as much rivals as anyone. Melbourne were percoieved as the toffs on the hill and Essendon the mavericks from way out wherever. It was an era where todays distances meant much more. we were seen as the elite, teh have do's etc. my how things turn !!. In a totally ironic fashion, Melbourne repesents now to essendon what they did to us all those years ago. Im sure this irony isnt missed by Sheeds. how sweet for him if HE was the catalyst !! :-))

Gee Willikers, if you read on the MFC website sheed's said he chatted to MFC about footy, and MFC didn't offer him a job. We will hear nothing about how his job hunting is progressing because he stated that his future job prospects will be handled by his lawyer.

I want him to coach us, but my perspective ATM is that it will not happen.

I also heard that Richmond is trying to get together the money to pay out Wallace's contract and try to get him too.

Never take things like that as they are, Sheedy always said stupid things to the media and never gives a straight answer, but what he said on the footy show last night was that he is interested, and WILL go through our process, minus the pych test :P

lol it would be funny if he hated the MFC so much that the only reason he took the job was to run us into the ground.

hope you don't really think this. I reckon he wants to coach us, to shove it in the face of the Essendon Board and the players who didn't want him next year. :lol: :lol:

I reckon Sheedy would love the challenge.

The challenge of restoring ancient glory to the once-mighty Demons.

He's a football romantic.

And what extra lustre to his already illustrious career if he could pull it off.

You have to ask yourself WHY he hates us.

Let's have a look at who WE hate and why.

Essendon - WHY because they are arrogant and successful. Both these attributes come from being supremely SELF CONFIDENT and RUTHLESS. Something we are NOT.

Colling%$%@ - Why because of the same reasons.

Anyway, Sheedy probably hates Melbourne because of attributes we HAVE that he apires to have. Let's not forget that his roots are as a humble plumber coaching at a working class club.

Melbourne must hold some sort of mystique for him. Something he outwardly despises but inwardly respects, appreciates and desires.

Go Dees - onward and upward

If we get Sheedy as coach...there goes our good recruiting!

Sheedy loves aboriginal draftees and picks them up willy nilly stuffing up the future.

Alwyn Davey, Ryder, Lovett, Lovett-murray, Richard Cole, Dempsey, Jetta and then 2 out of the 4 on the rookie list are aboriginal. A bit worrying if you ask me. I mean some of those players are good players i'm sure...but i'm 100% sure that he's decision was influenced by what skin colourt they have.

Please Sheedy, take off the blinkers and just pick the best player.

I've coped one too many beratings from Essendon supporters, those people think they are bigger than football. Would love their coach (the only Essendon coach in their time) to come over and help us win a flag. That would make me more happy than seeing Eddie go bankrupt, and Collingwood get eaten alive by a bunch of hungry Bigfoots.

yeah we have one of the best drafters and scouts going around, let's hope he doesn't want to interfere too much in this aspect, however he has won 4 premierships (? - or is it five) in his time, and football has changed immensely in that time, do you think he is pre-empting another shift? He is a genious!

How many Aboriginals did the 2000 side have in it?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
