Hmm, got an Essendon membership after years of not following AFL. Wife talked me into it. I used to follow Fitzroy. Essendon is playing the same level of footy as poor old Fitzroy did in their last days. At least they had an excuse.
It is time to go......Kevin SHEEDY

To be honest, while I love my Crows, I did feel for the Bombers, their players and fans and also Sheeds. I have always liked Sheedy, I like his sense of humour and his ability to have a laugh at himself. I like his accessibility, ie on the Footy Show and he does have a great record as a coach.
It is debateable as to how much the coach is responsible for a performance like that. I do think the players should have done a better job than that, but perhaps they just didnt have the skills. Perhaps the team just doesnt have the talent at the moment. In any case, it would have been heartbreaking for a Bombers fan to watch, especially a member. But I hope their fans stick with them through the hard times, as that is the most loyal kind of supporter, which the club needs. Hmmmm.

:I seriously believe we will be like Collingwood was last year. They were missing Buckley and Rocca and they struggled. We are missing the best full forward in the competition (Lloyd) and a champion in James Hird. Not to mention Camporeale. We'll be back for sure. Oh and Gary O'Donnell (sp?) is the man for the job once Sheedy pulls the pin.

Its not that Essendon is playing bad, its that 15 other clubs are playing better.

compared to other teams in the same league, Essendon = below average proficiency at winning. thus Essendon = playing badly QED. PS, Essendon supporters annoy me

Despite the fact I support Essendon, I will never be passionate about AFL again, after they murdered Fitzroy. Also the game is going down gurgler fast, with the flooding, weak umpire decisions and silly new rules is becoming un watchable....
I am going to watch Rugby state of origin in July, see what their game is like....

Sheedy has a alternate motive, at least he will get a first pick of the draft. And some good players will be out of contract...

As a Melbourne fan from a family of Essendon supporters, I am loving any loss for them, but this one just takes the cake.

Getting a new coach isn't really going to do much, not much you can do with the current line up.

Essendon are in a similar boat to what Collingwood were in last year, they are crippled by injuries and in a comp so competitive if a few key position players are gone it makes a lot of difference
I'de rather see Carlton down the bottom but it's great to see Collingwood near the top again! |

 : Get a life dudes I would still rather be a Bombers fan and lose by 138 than be a crows supporter. There are just some things in life that you just do not do becoming a crows supporter is one of them. Everyone is so obsessed with the /sack the coach mentality I think Sheeds 600 yes Six Hundred game history speaks for itself. /rant off Football, Religion and Politics three things one should not start topics on... :  :

It's not a question of do theyreplace the coach , It's a question of who do they replace him with!
Maybe Malcolm Blight if he would come back to coaching Gary Ayres, a good assistant but he has had the helm of clubs for a long time with little result Definately not bloomin' Wallesy Proberbly Mark Harvey but he hasn't proven anything yet so he may be no better than sheeds, depends if they would take a risk on a new coach i guess. |

GO THE PIES!!!! I hate the bombers with a passion, as I do Carlton. My immediate family is a bombers clan, and I love it at the moment. I hope this scene repeats every week.
