Sheedy Sacked

[Troy Wingate]

Re: Essendon disgrace

Should have gone 4 years ago... 27 years 4 premierships 23 years 4 premierships sounds better

I think the fact that he has coached them for 27 years and has 4 premierships is brilliant. How many other coaches could coach one team that long, or at all, and have 4 flags to their name?

Kevin Sheedy is a brilliant coach. He deserved to leave Essendon on his terms, when he wanted to leave.

Why coach that long only for 4 premierships?
Jeans did it in about 10 ish
Mathews less than that

I suppose It depends what you want out of a coach

Very unhappy with the club, i can't believe they sacked him.

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??

Very disapointed. Was in no way expecting this. Farewell to a legend of our great club. I will never forget what he's done and am thankful for everything. Time to sack Demitriou and gwt Sheedy in as CEO.

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??

Sad to see him bow out like this, a true legend of the game.

Why not Essendon just tap him on the shoulder after the season has finished? Why now when they're still a chance for a finals placing? Utterly stupid and it lowers Sheedy's dignity.

You can't really interview prospective coaches while you still have one (see Pagan and Mitchell).

If you told me Essendon would win one flag every six years I'd take it every time.

They didn't sack him. If he was told he was finished as of today without him completing his contract then you could have said they sacked him.

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??

I remember essendon "supporters" telling melb fans what a disgrace we were when we sacked daniher.

daniher who got us to 1 gf and won us 0 of our 12 premierships

and you sack sheedy who has got you to 7 gf's won you 4 of your 16.

Disgrace essendon, disgrace

Stability is obviously something you choose not to value.

Listening to SEN earlier today, i thought it was so unprofessional of Ray Hornsborugh's wife of going to air and protested about her husband's denial. SHAME ON YOU

hair splitting board. he wanted a new contract - they told him to p1ss off - I guess thats not the sack?

six years was up - end of last year - that's why he's out

Re: Essendon disgrace

So is any of the following likely?

Someone trying to get together a board that would overturn this and keep Sheedy?

Essendon having only about 15-20000 members next yr after a backlash?

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??

One of the reasons I have had a soft spot for Essendon was becasue of Sheedy. I am not sure if a person can become an AFL legend from coaching and influence on the game in general, but if you can then Sheedy more than qualifies.

Sheedy has shown unquestionable loyalty to the Essendon football club for the 27 years he has been there. Just a shame that Essendon couldn't show Sheedy the same loyalty. He should leave on his own terms.

he was leading the club into ruin - someone had to do something about it - admire their guts!

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??

smart move by Essendon, keep him coaching so the faithful can feel all warm and fuzzy for another 6 weeks whilst nailing up the "position vacant" sign at windy hill..... 3 years overdue however.

Re: Essendon disgrace

i was at a essendon function at the collingwood game and Ricky olerenshaw said he will never coach essendon while Peter jackson remains there, something obviousley happened there

lol lets keep Jackson forever then..

he would have had 6 premierships had it not been for the brain tumour.

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??

There's got to be a reason why it's all been announced now rather than at season's end. I can only presume Essendon is eyeing one or two of the potential coaches in the mix for a new job and doesn't want to be caught behind the other clubs looking for new coaches. Suddenly it all makes sense.
