Sheedy Farewell Tour To Commence

From the Herald Sun: I knew I was gone: Sheedy
The winning coach from 1999 was fired a few days ago and now the coach who was in charge of Victoria’s most recent winner, Essendon in 2000, seems to be on the way out.
There will be an update when the news becomes official, and as soon as it does you can expect Sheedy to get plenty of offers from other AFL teams. Melbourne need him, Fremantle would want him but Richmond might be the best spot for him.

The big losers in all of this could be Adelaide. Their grip on a finals spot is precarious enough after losing to a team with a new coach last round, now they could be facing another team that has just fired their coach. There is no real logic to it but it does seem that teams do lift for their next game after a coach departs.
The headline at the moment on the AFL’s Essendon site is “Sheedy still in charge”, it was posted Monday night.

Despite speculation that the meeting would decide his future at the club, Sheedy said his contract wasn't discussed. He also said he expected to see out his contract, which runs to the end of the season.
"I wouldn’t have thought anything else other than that will happen. It's a pretty stable club," he said.
