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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
