Exclusive: US the next talent pool, says Sheedy - AFL.com.au
Is he serious? Or is this just another headline-grabbing gimmick? I know we've got Mike Pyke, but he was from Canada and at least had a rugby background.

More headline-grabbing by Sheeds - by the end of the article he's back in NSW and the ACT, where, he says, "the AFL have dropped the ball." Starts off blowing his own trumpet, ends up singing out of Paul Roos' book!He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball) -
I just love that they labelled it "exclusive" - as though it's a scoop.
The thoughts of Kevin are like chatting to some mildly well-informed bloke in the pub - briefly diverting and then forgotten.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

The book Sheeds: A touch of cunning has it's name for good reason.Comment

I don't see what the issue is, imagine if Pykey &/or Shae McNamara [Collingwood] were rookied <21 years of age...I think both would enjoy a reasonable ROI.
The AFL can't afford to sit still, if it isn't expanding, it's dying. To ensure quality, it makes sense to 'cast the net as far and as wide as possible.
Sure, AFL will probably never be the pre-eminent sport in California, but if AFL teams can capture 5-10 players a year from the US to play in the AFL premier competition for negligible cost, then I think the exercise is well worth proceeding with.The Swans Fan Zone on

Swans won a game .... what better opportunity than for media-whore Sheedy to take up 1/2 a page of last Sunday's paper with this drivel.
We don't have more than two pages of AFL news in the Sunday paper, and he's taking up most of it!! I think I'd rather read the game report from Friday night. Two-day old news is better than Sheedy.
Until he has an actual "team" to play with, Sheeds should be banned from Sydney media!!Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment
