Misfits, Teachers Pets and Sheedy Project Players 22
Throughout Sheedy's career as Essendon coach, he was famous for championing the underdog. Over his 27 years, more dead set duds got a game with the famous black and red than perhaps for all other clubs combined. To be fair, some players managed to eke out reasonable careers. On the other hand, some were simply out of their depth. However, being loved by Sheeds was a passport to footballing success no matter your talent.

Kepler Bradley would have to be in the team. Possibly Marc Bullen.

Hardly think you can say cupes was a Sheedy fave. Misfit i suppose fits.

Re: Misfits, Teachers Pets and Sheedy Project Players 22
LMAO ross.
Yeah, Richard cole was a disgrace, but retaining Henno and Bolts that long was just wrong. Sheeds coached himself out of a job.
Zantuck was actually prolly the worst. I cant believe some people here thought he could hold down CHB for us.
HERE IS ONE MASSIVE DONKEY OF A PLAYER THAT PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN - JOEL REYNOLDS
Our very own WindyHill said he would be EFC's next Brownlow Medalist! Sorry Windy, but that was a shocking call mate.

Re: Misfits, Teachers Pets and Sheedy Project Players 22
How long was Corey McGrath on our list?
What is more unbelievable is that after we got rid him of him Carlton picked him up and he spent a good 3-5 years playing senior football for them!!

Re: Misfits, Teachers Pets and Sheedy Project Players 22
I think he was part of the Murphy, Alan trade ealesy.
Man how many throw aways did Sheeds waste draft picks on? We could have being drafting young kids and blooding new players. Instead wasting spots on the list with has beens or never was beens.

Didnt think Somerville was that bad towards the end of his career.
1995 - Draft selection: 15, Darren Wheildon - He would have been an absolute gun for us but damn that Taxi.
Draft selection: trade, Shane Strempel from Brisbane - By then it was too late Walls had his head punched in.
