Rumour Kevin Sheedy - The Essendon Puppet Master

Remove this Banner Ad

Your last president was a like a cockroach....you just couldn't get rid of him, no matter what stupid stuff he continually did.

And now you replace him with Tom Browne's old man.

How much will the payroll lady at Collingwood love it when she has to keep paying Treloar and Grundy big bucks while they play at other clubs.

“Your last president was a like a cockroach....you just couldn't get rid of him, no matter what stupid stuff he continually did.”

You talking about John Elliott? Difference is Eddie built our club up, Elliott left yours in a mess, financially and on the field with spoon after spoon. How can you have had so many #1 picks and still suck.

Payroll lady is pretty happy, we beat you twice this year and are playing finals while you have another September off.
 
The bottom line is that Kevin Sheedy wants James Hird to be the next coach of the Essendon Football Club (end of this year or end of/mid way through next year) and is gathering the numbers at board level to make this happen.

Good call, vindicated call, that's what all the Clarko palaver was about call.
 
Staggering Sheedy calling the shots

???

The old boy can hold his drink and doesn't usually stagger, and is a red wine rather than shots man.

Club boards probably need serious types, business folk, etc. Sheeds eccentricity and desperation for fairytale homecomings probably aren’t the right skills to bring.
 
If Hird beats Yze to the job I do hope a black hole swallows that club. We have Hird who was quietly ushered into a role in one of the greatest shows of nepotism at GWS (aka the Orange team) who’s been out of the game for the best part of 10 years vs. a senior assistant coach, coming off a premiership year and has done all the ground work needed to coach in the last 10 years. Yze has the same background as all coaches in this year’s finals who were all first time coaches. It’s not really that hard of a decision right?

Jordan Lewis is on the deciding panel.
Why would anyone care what Jordan Lewis thinks?
What a strange little club the Bombers are.

Robbo quote.
"Essendon don't care what anyone else thinks."

Yep.

*forgot to mention the construction of the named John Elliott stand that cost the club some 20 odd million that was finished only a few years before the blues left for docklands stadium and princess park was never used again for afl games and blues left to continue to pay it off. The blues carried large debts and were bank rolled by the Pratt family and donated poke facilities by the matherson family

No, you are right!
He was putrid and corrupt.
Would do anything to get us to number 1.
Whatever it took...
Almost ruined our club.
Do you think we should invite him back?

He was to busy hiding from the liquidators to be worried about returning to the blues

A mate of mine worked on that board game that he did years ago. Remember that one that has the VHS tape with it? Or maybe it was a DVD? Might have been a trivia game or something.

Anyway, he met with Sheedy early on in the process for lunch, and to his surprise they ended up scoffing down two bottles of red, at what was supposed to be a business lunch.

And to his even bigger surprise, Sheedy then got up abruptly and announced that he had to go as training was starting soon.
 
Well well well
It appears old kev has failed in his mission.
If Scott has half a clue at all, he’d have been seeking a guarantee from Barham that Sheedy be removed from the board immediately.
Does anyone believe that Sheedy/Hird will give up the fight and take defeat on the chin … Sheedy now has to go and Adrian with him …
 
With all the money Kevin Sheedy has made over the last 5 decades, you’d think he could afford a good retirement village. Maybe he could even be roommates with Malthouse incase they get lonely.
