Hawthorn v Essendon 2007

No coach alive could've taken Essendon to the finals last year. Anyone who blames Sheedy for the season we had is an utter fool. We had key players out for chunks of the season, players out of form, players playing while carrying injuries, a lack of leadership in chunks of the season. All these things played a part in our poor year. Sheedy had very little to work with and despite some weird moves/decisions he made from time to time, we had no hope in 06 with or without him.

Okay, that was mildly interesting tangent.
We agree to agree to disagree to agree to whatever.
Sheedy is probably experiencing the onset of Alzheimer's disease, McVeigh is a homo, Essendon suck and Hawthorn will extend their ownership of their bitter rivals to 4 in a row.
Close the thread.

I only had to watch half a dozen games.
Where did you pick that gem from
Are you a fool or not?
Can you read or not?
How is that me blaming him for our poor season? You talk like he's the only coach to make a mistake.

Do you think he'll be offered another contract if the club finishes bottom 4 again?
I was awake at the G.
Yeah the nth game was terrible, would have been worse for them though.
No I don't. Do I think he should? Yes I do.
why?
Because I think that with his experience, if he can't get our list off the bottom of the ladder with our best players in the side, there's little hope for anyone else.
Possibly someone new, fresher and more focused? I love Sheeds but it may be that his epic Essendon journey is coming to an end, and he may not have the intangible "it" anymore. Hopefully that's not the case though, hopefully he finds it again.
Sheedy employed the dead wood.
Every bottom 4 club with priority picks recruits decent kids.
Lucy, Jolley, Bullen, Haynes etc etc can't have embraced his teachings.
Only the end of 2007 will tell I guess. Personally I still think he's got a couple of tricks left up his sleeve.
That's probably why Hawthorn's crowds have surged and Essendon's have dwindled.
Again, is he the only coach in history to make some mistakes?
Unless they get really unlucky. What I was getting at is that from our poor season last year due to obvious reasons I listed in one of my previous posts, we were fortunate enough to pick up some great young talent. Talent that can help get us on the rise.
Not all footballers are as naturally gifted as others. I won't defend everything Sheedy does, but you're reasons for letting him go aren't good enough for mine.
Bullen would be part of Hawthorn's leadership group...maybe even captain. Similar player to Vandendud, just slightly better skills though.
