He cited the fact he was unaware of Gary March's earlier comments (eventually aired on The Footy Show this week) about not seeing Sheedy as coach of Richmond during his tenure. It seems a bit strange because those comments were made at a time when March still had a contracted coach -- what else was he going to say? Anyway, for now, Sheeds is out of the race. The point about sticking to the club's process, however, still remains (especially if there's a push for one of the Collingwood guys, Malthouse or Buckley). http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,25767480-19742,00.html

I think you're right about this one considering the success of some of the younger coaches coming through. Despite their relative high-profile, the ideas of guys like Terry Wallace, Mark Williams, Denis Pagan & even Sheedy, it seems are behind the times and don't cut it anymore at AFL level. Richmond need to wake up to that. Excellent piece, Michael. I think you’re right about this one considering the success of some of the younger coaches coming through.
