Say No To Sheedy

[beelzebub 22,724]

Im a little confused by that article..

His writing surrounds the idea that esentially he's the same larrikin intuitive inciteful enigma that he was 27 years ago. That he hasnt essentially changed. well that really doesnt say much to me except that he's kevin Sheedy.

He remarks about the why's and wherefores of how and why he was sacked and the subsequesnt fallout and effects. the man was let go, the boad lied Sheedy does his job whilst doig the leg work for moving on. He's surely not to blame for that. If there's any fall out or crying or shaking of headdsin the Essendon changing room then to me that lies squarely back at the feet of the board.

Apparently he doesnt quite go the way of many others by surrounding himslef with six zillion support staff.. For the most part it seems to have worked...especially on $ occasions !!

Im still not sure what Smith was really driving at !!

Folks, MFC Members must unite and say no to Sheedy. He has proven over 27 years to be a self-serving, attention seeker and at nearly 60 does not represent the future of football or the MFC.

His coaching record is totally over-rated.

At the turn of the century he was supposedly coaching the greatest side of all time yet got only one flag out of them.

In 1986 the Essendon side was virtually the Victorian side yet he couldn't get them the flag.

The "Baby Bombers" went backwards after their 93 flag.

Two or three years ago Essendon was a basketcase with blokes like Cupido and Zantuck running around for them. Sheedy has a long history of recruiting loose cannons and trying to turn them around. It's low percentage stuff and a waste of time.

The good thing is that Garry Lyon hates Sheedy. If Lyon still has any clout then we can be safe in the knowledge that Sheedy won't be anywhere near the MFC.

Gerard Healy wants him at the Demons and he has a say as well

I'd say 70% of MFC members/supporters/personel want Sheedy as coach.

I, one of the biggest get Sheedy people I know.... Have slowly been turned off by the though. He has everything we need. I know it, and maybe it has become personal opinion.

But with all the talk over years about Chris Bond. Ive gotta say, what if it's all true about him, what if he is going to be the next great coach. I don't want to miss out. He has 8 years experience as an assistant. And has coached at VFL level.

That being said, I really hope Williams (Sandy) gets a good run. His record speaks for itself and surely he has a strong repour with our young players for the future.

From all accounts ive heard about the guy he is an extremely good manager of men. He knows exactly how to manage a players ups and down.... He to be honest as well as Bond may be the right choice for the MFC.

IMO.

Did you know that 42% of statistics are made up on the spot?

Thats why i said "i'd say"

And it was a semi educational statistic, just going by the people of this forum.
