More Sheedy spinning shit. I seem to remember Fletcher lining up on Phil Matera? And more than once too.
Face it Sheeds, you got too cocky and it came back to bite you on the arse.

Beat me to the punch Rosso. Fletcher has played on numerous small forwards such as Phil Matera and has generally done well against them. Facile reasoning from Sheeds here.

Has he ever lined up on a small forward who was not playing full forward?
Personally, I'm pleasantly surprised at Sheed'y comments. He generally lays all the smoke screens he can and looks to lay blame for his coaching failures on everyone or everything except the one place he should look...in the mirror.
A very rare and welcome sign of contrition from Sheeds IMO.
Sheedy said he was still reeling after the horror loss to the Blues, billing Essendon's Round 20 rematch with Carlton as "absolute warfare".
Not sure if we should like him saying things like this.
I will be personally holding Sheedy to this. If we don't come out in R20 breathing fire & thump those pricks by 10 goals, then I will be well pissed off. So is this line more spin to keep us happy or will there be some substance this time for a change?
Hmm, with Carlton giving us horribly embarrassing losses for most of this decade, I would have thought that it would have been absolute warfare for Round 3!
Come on, surely it hasn't taken him only THIS loss to want to crush the crap outta Carlton...
Agree with you filth, I want a thumping both this week, next week & R20. But surely you would have to have huge question marks over Sheeds capacity as a coach to motivate our team if we do lose R20.
And BD, I couldn't agree more; while we were crap last year, in that 2nd game against the Bloos we did get about 3 goals up against them in the last qtr & they still came from behind & drew the game.
But this time he has gone on record saying that we will be pumped up to the eyeballs in R20. If we lose, surely that would mean that Sheeds can't get through to the players anymore & he should be shown the door at season's end.
