Hi People

On the show Gerard Healy, Mike Sheahan, Robert Walls talked about how last week they had Ricky Nixon on and he is the manager of Brett Raten and gave away with out knowing that Brett Raten will get the job at the Blues next year.

Also Ricky Nixon is Chris Bond's manager and the other night Mike or Robert said that "Chris Bond has a pretty good chance of getting the Melbourne job" so I am thinking they got that from last week when they had his Manager there with them.

So it is looking good for me I want the guy to Coach our club and I would like him more than Sheedy.

Anyway I thought I would post this and let you all know.

Great win on the weekend.

is this the same guy whos midfield failed big time against us? no thanks he has no good coaching skills, he hasn't got the X factor like some do and his coaching record is really that impressive. if we want this club to move on he is not our man! Kevin Sheedy will move this club to great heights... i hope

I wouldn't listen to everything you hear - Bond might be a chance, but he is certainly not assured the position. Nixon is just talking him up a bit. I don't have anything against him personally, just not reading too much into what Nixon has to say.

Nope that was Rodney Eade's team.

Bond has been Assistant coach for 8 Years and in two of them were at Werribee and after getting Werribee into the Finals in his second year there he got promoted to an assistant at The WesternBulldogs.

I just don't think Sheedy is our future we need a new coach with new ideas and not someone who hates our club.

It honestly is quite simple the MFC will not be around in 5 years unless we get out act together...

The answer is get Sheedy to coach. He is quality a coach who will add life to the club and get us to be more stable....

He's alot older but by no means over it and when he moves on we can find an appropriate successor....

Give Sheedy the job now!!!!!

I value your opinion and I see where you are coming from however why would you want someone that hates our club to coach our team?

Remember for years he has been our Rivalry and my father tells me he has always hated the Melbourne FC.

But see in 5 years with someone other than Sheedy we will still be ok.

I mean look at Sheedy this year the Bombers are struggling.

But if you want a coach like Sheedy then why aren't people talking about Pagan? he is as good as Kevin or just a bit worse.

Remember Sheedy would cost alot of money for a 2 year contract and he won't sign for a 3 year deal.

I'm not having a go at anyone in particular, but I've heard this a few times - "Sheedy hates our club/hates Melbourne".

So what. Does anyone seriously think Matthews or Malthouse liked Collingwood when they were players? That Thompson didn't want to smash Geelong every time he played them? That Alistair Clarkson was on the Hawthorn bandwagon when he played for us and the roos?

Despite his quirks, Sheedy is as professional a coach as they come and IMO would be fantastic. Would he be the best option? No idea. I won't see the presentations the shortlist will make to the board so I'm not in a position to judge. Judging on his 27 year history with Essendon though, he would be no worse than a very good option.

Can't hold assistants fully accountable for losing a game, who is to say bond would play the same style/ system etc

good point but i'll offer up two examples because they are the only two i can think off...ross lyon and paul roos, and mark riley and ND...

both assistants, similar styles as previous coaches.

part of the reason im not interested in john longmire...

Posted

Fair point deanox, but with riley he didn't have a preseason to change the style so pretty much had to keep playing the same, also with the cattle he had too.

An interesting fact is that in the 4 games we have won we have kicked long, i can't remember the exact thing that was written in the Hsun on monday, but it did back up what we have all said, if he kick long, we win :)

Get me a coach that wants to kick long (not pagan like where thats all he wanted) and i will be happy.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
