Heard from a relatively good source that Sheedy has the job. Will most likely be announced next week after Essendon play their last game.

Finger's crossed that my source is correct!

    They have only just finished going through the match simulation with the last 4 candidates. A decision would not have been made yet.

    I hate Sheedy with a passion for many reasons, but it's these reasons why I want him as our coach.

    Anyone want to take any bets on whether he keeps Miller and tries to turn him into a Dean Wallis type enforcer?

    The appointment of Sheedy would accurately reflect the wishes of supporters if the poll on Demonland is a guide. Not suggesting this is a scientific survey but the results from those who have voted to date are pretty much overwhelming. The alternatives presented to readers and the votes and percentages scored at time of posting:-

    Kevin Sheedy 75 votes = 63.03%

    Chris Connolly 4 " = 3.36%

    Mark Riley 1 " = 0.84%

    Dean Bailey 13 " = 10.92%

    Damien Hardwick 11 " = 9.24%

    Still undecided 15 " = 12.61%

    If we spread the undecided votes around, this is how it ends up:-

    Kevin Sheedy 72.11%

    Chris Connolly 3.85%

    Mark Riley 0.96%

    Dean Bailey 13 12.50%

    Damien Hardwick 10.57%

    The coaching position isn't necessarily a popularity poll but this looks like a democratic vote from Mars to me!

    the MFC might want to set up a special Buy 2008 membership early option ( at a nominal discount ) should Sheeds get the job :)

    Nah I don't want him.

    I think he is a bad coach now days.

    Thats the only thing Miller would be good for, decking people to take them out of the game.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
