    You see a hasbeen, I see an experienced coach with a proven track record. He does get the crazies at the post game conferences sometimes, but he really presents well in "real" interviews. I think there's life in the old dog yet.

      Please allow me to borrow the words
      hasbeen
      ,
      crazies
      and
      old dog
      then rearrange them to explain why a team with nothing to lose (Melbourne) rejected someone a tryhard team (Essendon) dropped after 100 years of waiting for a decent result.

      The crazy hasbeen couldn't motivate the old dog to get it's leg up on the BOTTOM TEAM in front of 90,000 fans at it's champs last home game.

        What part of four Premierships in 27 years don't you understand?

          good point. 100 was an exaggeration.

          85' 93' 00'....

          he wakes up every 7-8 years. Poor dons only had to wait 1 more.

            While we are taking animal metaphors - horses for courses. Sheeds really struggled with rotations and the modern game. He is a fantastic communicator and ambassador of the game. But why should we pay his salary? Let the evil empire in melbourne employ him and we can use his skills to promote the game in NSW.

                  As rejected by four other clubs. He'll make a great AFL ambassador.

                    I think Sheedy would make a great ventriliquist. He doesn't open his mouth when he speaks. As a matter of fact as he has got older he has got better at it.

                    He could sit behind Andy at press conferences and all Andy would have to do is mime, and Sheeds could rattle off all those "dad" jokes that he comes out with, talk about himself all the time, and everyone would think that Andy was pumping up Sheed's tyres.

                    God I get sick of the Melbourne Journos drolling over this hasbeen and headlining any bit of crap that comes out of his closed gob. He's got the chop, flickerood, the bags been slammed on him and still he dribbles on. Send him to Thailand to spread the game, anywhere for that fact away from us so we dont have to put with this box head who continually sings his own praises to try to bump his wages. Go away old man.

                      Still waiting for a single good reason to not go after the man that coached his team to seven consecutive finals series.

                        1. Too old - 60N.B
                        2. Cant spell rotation
                        3. Still cant play the digeredoo
                        4. Attempts at jokes are poor
                        5. Needs a haircut that is not of the early 70's
                        6. Has developed a big guts and needs to cut back on the beer and peanuts
                        7. Only recruits hasbeens and old blokes
                        8. Plays favourites who cant play eg. Bolton. If he came to us he would probably pick him up in the pre season draft.
                        9. No matter what he says he still cant walk on water.
                        10. Has to stop pretending he is a toff.

                          I meant Sheedy, not Roos.

                            Figurehead for what, I thought we had a no dickheads policy.

                            Isn't Andrew Ireland our Head of Football who for all intents and purposes has done a pretty good job. Why would you bring in a grandpa to fix something that aint broke.

                              And another thing, Sheedy wears dacks that are far too big in the lemonade. Roos though strides out on the ground in a well cut pair of threads.

                              Just what is Sheedy hiding down there. He trundles out onto the ground with that ever increasing verandah over the tool shed, moves a few names on the magnet board, mumbles a few words that the players cant understand and mopes off. Hird then goes to the group as they say, "Hirdy what did the old bloke say" and translates for the puzzled throng. But no, Sheeds hadn't lost his players, he'll tell you that.

                                all i have to say is this:

                                sheedy is 60 yrs old, he can cash out his super tax free
                                im sure the bombers have given him a top super balance and if he wants he can be on the umpiring panel or something

                                blody retire and enjoy the twilight of your life

                                and to answer the Q: NO

                                under roosy we've made the finals each yr with the semis being our earliest exit so far. he'll need 2 miserable seasons before we pull the plug or he chooses to move on.
