Upcoming Event
Corporate Club Luncheon - Friday 20th July 2012
Jul. 20, 2012
Sponsored by KI Group
Guest Speaker - Kevin Sheedy
Kevin John Sheedy AFL playing & coaching legend will entertain you over a two course lunch.
Sheedy was the coach of AFL club Essendon for 27 years, and a player for Richmond for 12 years. He holds the AFL record for the most games combined as a player and coach. He is currently the senior coach of the Greater Western Sydney Football Club (The Giants) in the Australian Football League.
On 25 July 2007, it was announced that Sheedy would not have his contract renewed as Essendon coach after the end of the 2007 AFL season.
In Sheedy's last home game as coach against Richmond in Round 21 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a near sell out crowd of 88,468 people turned out to farewell Sheedy and James Hird (who was retiring as a player). Although Essendon were defeated by a few goals, Sheedy received a standing ovation as he left the field for the last time.
Sheedy's passion for coaching continued and he vowed to pursue a coaching career at another club but in the interim accepted an ambassadorial position with the AFL.
On 9 November 2009, Sheedy signed a three year deal and was named as the inaugural coach of the Greater Western Sydney Football Club.
Come and listen to the man that created the ANZAC DAY clash between the Bombers & the Pies!!
One of the men who changed the thinking of Football in Australia, Kevin Sheedy.
