Sheedy wants the MFC coaching job - inside word

[Tex 68]

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.

never heard of a love-hate relationship !! :-))))

I agree that sounds ridiculas.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

If this is true. He will soon be an EX-Source

Ahh, now i get it. After we win the premiership, Sheeds will pounce. It all makes sense now!!!

I've always hated sheedy and essendon, but if he walks out in the red and blue I'll love the man.

at least we can continue hating essendon

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Yes, yes we can

Asked if Melbourne was his best shot to coach in 2008, Sheedy said, "Well, they need a good coach. They had one, but they need one."

Hopefully you are proved correct Haydo.......

Sheedy confirms Dees talks

[diesel 420]

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

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

We must get Sheedy.

[wisedog 352]

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.

[beelzebub 23,370]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

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

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:

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

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

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.

[45HG 1,539]

if we picked up those players, i'd be bloody happy!

[Stromberg45 0]

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?
