I heard the other day that Joe Gutnick said if he was still involved with Melbourne he would have got Kevin Sheedy.

In my view Melbourne blundered badly by not signing Kevin Sheedy.

1. Membership which is very poor would have been significantly higher with the Sheedy factor. Plus Sheedy is a great marketer. Melbourne needs marketing.

2. List management. Would Sheedy have got rid of so much experience, including players that added some toughness at the ball and the man with the ball like Godfrey?
