    Lethal or Sheedy as coach of Western Sydney?

    The odds of one of these great coaches with high profiles becoming the first coach of Western Sydney would have to be pretty big one would think.

    Thoughts?

    I think someone like Sheedy would be fantastic just from a profile perspective and his efforts in growing the game. As far as the actual coaching side goes, well it might not translate to results, especially with the talk of the game evolving and leaving the older coaches behind....but the personality is what would be most critical initially IMHO.

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

      I agree Mike. Western Sydney needs a high profile coach who is 'known' in the market and with an eye to promote the club and game in Western Sydney. Sheedy would be ideal.

        Sheedy would be wonderful, he'd create media interest by his appointment then would continue to keep it going with his antics. He's all for AFL expansion too.
        I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
        We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

              They did need a high profile. I look forward to Sheeds "promoting" the game.

                Told youse this news back in June. Now you're all surprised!!!
                Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                    Just read in this mornings Telegraph, Sheedy has signed a three year deal as head coach of GWS. Unbelievable coup for them. This will give them a major injection of credibility.

                      Can you tell us the winner of the Sandown Classic!!!!!

                      Yep, no great surprise on the appointment, will be interesting to see who gets the assistants as they'll be carrying the club forward post 2012, can't see Sheedy staying on longer than that............... as head coach at least.

                        Baaaaaaaaaa, hum bug!

                        How about the assistant coaches now?


                        With Sheedy appointed as coach, the greater west of Sydney is about to get a martian invasion. Very good appointment and if someone can pull this off he can. He always spoke about a second Sydney team and now he would be excited to go down in history as the first coach.

                        Plenty of nuff nuff's out west.

                          I sat with him on a plane to Cairns in June and I asked him if he would be coaching GC17 and he said no. Then I asked him if he will be coaching the Blacktown Bogans - and, after he laughed at the name, said "no comment" ... which we all know means "yes".

                          I heard him on the radio this morning (Nova) talking about wanting to tap into the large indigenous community in the area to look for future talent.

                            Coaching these days involves a fair chunk of media management and manipulation. Sheeds is an excellent choice in that regard, and as has been said before on here he's got the drive to see the expansion flourish. With a little bit of luck he'll do for GWS what Barassi did for the Swans: a short stint to get them on the right track for the future.

                              Hahahah, what a media whore Sheeds is. Looking forward to the self-appointed grand old sage of the game being shown up for the coaching has-been that he was in his final days at Essendon (spit).

                              What else would you expect from this plastic outfit. Everything to date points towards the Bogans as being all fur coat and no knickers......

                              Sheeds' appointment won't mean a thing when they are getting pumped by 100 points in front of 5,000 disinterested "fans"....
