I am one of those who does not think it was time for a change, but putting all that aside, the guy is 59 (not 109), is still a great football thinker, is still keen to coach and stated on numerous occasions that he would coach elsewhere if released by Essendon.tonysoprano wrote:if sheeds goes to melb i will vomit uncontrollably.
yes, i think it was time for change - but gee did i want the great man to go to the afl and run the show there.
i cant bare the thought of him coaching elsewhere.
I look forward to following his progress with great interest, and wish him all the success in the world.
Happy to trade bolton for aaron davey. Two daveys creating pressure on the half forward line would probably win you a premiership.
Wherever sheeds ends up, that club will be very fortunate. He's going to be more passionate and hungrier than ever in a new environment. Freo and Melbourne are both perfect for the reincarnation of the sheed-man... he's the only coach in the league that puts bums on seats and signatures on membership forms.
Lethal occasionally does his bit (good job drumming up publicity for the North v Brisbane game this year) but Sheedy creates rivalries out of nothing and makes ordinary games extraordinary (ANZAC day, dreamtime at the G, jacket waving, etc.)
Mark my words... the impact of losing Sheedy is going to be felt far deeper in this club than just on the field. Essendon needs Sheedy - if not in the coaching role then certainly in the marketing of the club.

This would have to be the ultimate farce.
He we are still a real finals chance and OUR coach is in the media being openly touted around for other coaching jobs.Here he was laughing about it on TV last night,thanking "Vossy"for reducing the competition for him.
The longer it goes on the more it emphasis how badly this whole thing has been handled.
Unless of course it's the start of a new trend where all coaches near the end of contracts can tout for jobs at will while continuing current commitments.
It's laughable.

.... I'd be bitterly disappointed.If Sheeds goes to Melbourne.....
I don't think Sheeds should go and coach another club. He's done the coaching thing and done it bloody well while contributing to the footy club as a whole and the greater VFL/AFL.
I think the next phase of Sheeds football life should be at AFL level and not limited to a specific club. He would do so much better.

if sheedy goes to melbourne and we hire daniher... what on earth will this prove? Our club will look like a joke.
Ill never doubt Sheedy. Wherever he goes he will bring success, if not immediately onfield, off it guarenteed. Im starting to feel quite crap about this whole situation.
We must remember he loves a challenge. This footy club and current list was it, and now we have robbed him of it just as his getting back on track.

It would be ideal that he not coach another team, cos f*** it would suck for him to coach against Essendon. Jesus. Imagine that. If, for example, it's Melb vs Ess in Round 7 next year.... imagine the build up... the hurt... yuk.bombers_rock wrote:.... I'd be bitterly disappointed.If Sheeds goes to Melbourne.....

Still, coaching is something he has said he wants to still do.
We have to accept this decision. It is hard to digest, but these things happen. Many Essendon supporters have never had to deal with this sort of thing. But time heals all wounds.
Honestly, if Sheedy stayed with Essendon, I could only see us finishing 6th-10th for the next 3 years anyway and really making little progress... similar to the last 4-5 years.
Nothing lasts forever, people.
I don't care who he coaches.
He is currently our coach and I expect he'll continue to do that job appropriately with a view to finals footy.
When that finishes, he can do whatever he likes. That's reality, that's what we as supporters should expect and prepare for.
If Melbourne get him, then congrats to them, and good luck to Sheeds...except v EFC.

So true Ross...I hope he doesn't go there though...I'd hate for some dickhead supporter to boo him when they play against us (and you just know that someone would do itRossoneri wrote:If he coaches elsewhere, then good on him.
Melbourne need someone like sheeds. It will be interesting to see how he goes.
