Re: Essendon disgrace
Just want to say that Footy wont be quite the same without Kevin Sheedy. As long as Ive known footy Ive known Essendon were coached by Sheeds.
The man is a monument, to Essendon, to Football and to anyone who still believes a man of simple beginnings can achieve greatness. For Greatness he surely achieved.
I'll be doing my best to be at his (perhaps) final game in charge in Melbourne.

Re: Essendon disgrace
Lucky we got at least one premiership out of our golden time in 99-01. Imagine a team getting to a grand final twice in a row and having nothing to show for it. Now that would surely be the definition of underachieving...

sheedy was a failure
What about you identofy to everyone who you barrack for... You call an iconic legend of the AFL a failure... With a win loss ratio of 62%... Over 27 years... With 4 flags...
Seriously mate go get a life!
Your kidding yourself.
Sheedy's contribution to football so far has been massive and it's not finished yet , get him onto the rules commitee i say.

Some people have no idea whenever they say Sheedy was a failure. How many other coaches has won 4 premierships and lasted as long as Sheedy.

4 flags in 27 years is a great effort however when it stacks upto others:
Mathews-90,02,03,04(4 in 17)
Hafey-67,69,73,74(4 in 7)
Not saying Sheed,s is a failure[far from it] however if you compare the above he has had somewhat of a charmed run at Essendon.
You forgot to mention Wallaces, Daniher, Thompson (the list could go on and on) stats mate. It's all relative and relatively speaking he's been a success how ever you look at it

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??
I'm sorry, but according to that logic, then as long as Sheedy wanted to continue coaching then we should've allowedn him to?? Even once he got to 95 years of age and developed a habit of shitting his own pants?
I'm sorry but we have not been a geniune contender since 2001. Sheedy started rebuilding at the end of 2005??!! What was he doing for the 4 seasons in between. He was over-rating his list, he thought we could top up a become a geniune contender again. We couldn't, he refused to make the tough calls at that time and he put us 4 years behind in developing our next team capable of winning a Flag.
Look at where Port are now, after having won a Flag in 2004?!
great coach, who has been great for the game and in more particular the Essendon Football Club, that does not mean he should automatically be allowed to coach at the club for as long as he wanted to.
He obviously could not convince the people that mattered most that he had the right vision for the future.
And where does everyone get this idea that he was sacked. He was simply told that his contract would not be renewed? I'm currently employed on a contract, if it is not renewed then I won't see myself as being sacked.
Someone's been somewhere for 27 years and suddenly it's his right to stay there for as long as he wants, even if he is no longer the right man for the job?!

Re: Prediction for Essendon and Sheeds
He was sacked. That is just another way of saying it Pazza.
Geez there are some oxygen theives round here.
Forget the premierships and winning %, anyone who thinks that a bloke who has spent 27 years as an AFL senior coach is a failure has got rocks in their head.

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??
But let me guess. Like most self-appointed anti-racists you deem it as morally reprehensible when whites favour whites in any way. Yet when whites favour non-whites this is virtuous and wonderful! With such hypocrisy, maybe it's you who's being "racist".
Kevin Sheedy's inappropriate love affair with non-whites should be blatantly obvious and deserves exposure. In truth, it's part of the reason his contract isn't being renewed (poor list management).
Sheedy has recruited numerous non-whites to Essendon in recent years. And that's fine, as long as they've earned their sash. But some of this recruiting has been very questionable, as others here have attested.
Sheedy went out of his way to coax a retired Mal Michael to the club, causing an almighty shitfight with Brisbane in the process. Then there's been such players as Cupido and Murphy. And he kept an overweight Dean Rioli on the list, even though his commitment to the club was questionable.
Then there was the silly debacle of dressing up a Sudanese refugee in an Essendon jumper and implying he might one day play for the club. (Ha ha).
And thanks to Kevin Sheedy, the football public now has to endure the ridiculous blaxploitation debacle of the "Dreamtime" game every year.
Then there's the games against the Aboriginal All-Stars. which I don't have a problem with, as I agree that they've been a good initiative.
All I'm saying is that I hope Kevin Sheedy never becomes an administrator. There's more than enough political correctness and non-white arse kissing from the AFL as it is.
Hey, I didn't make the rules around here.

I'm sorry Sheedy LOST HIS JOB... was given his notice... he was sacked.
If a company sacks you they are entitled to give you notice and can ask for you to leave immediately if they choose.. but they also have the option of retaining you for the notice period in this case until the contract expires.
He is not a contractor working on time limited contracts... he is really a full time coach whose continuing performance dictates whether he will not lose his job when his contract expires.. and in this scenario not having a contract renewed is classified as a sacking.

Uhh that is exactly what he is. He had a contract that lasted for 2 years I'd say thats pretty much the definition of a time limited contract.

Correct, but oh what a great 1 premiership that was to humiliate Essendon

Re: Sheedy Sacked ??
I think your upset because Hawthorn haven't done anything since the 80's. Get over it.
He won four Grand Finals as Premiership coach please tell me at least 5 others that have achieved this.
I know that not everyone has 27 years to do this but to coach 1 club for so long is an achievement in itself.
Thanks Sheedy for all the great memories

I would like to mention that comparing Sheedy and Mathews, Mathews was sacked by Collingwood after he won them the grandfinal. Then he went to Brisbane and won 3 in Brisbane - When they had an increase of salary to help with recruiting to brisbane. Therefore the scenarios are different.
Do you think if Mathews had stayed at Collingwood he could have won 4 Grandfinals. No don't think so due to the Dreaded Grandfinal Curse.
Sheeds is a legend and shall be remembered as 1.
