Eddie McGuire and Kevin Sheedy in war of words over Scott Pendlebury

AFL kingpins Eddie McGuire and Kevin Sheedy have renewed hostilities over the fight for Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury.
The Magpies president and Greater Western Sydney coach engaged in a slanging match after Pendlebury said he was prepared for a year of intense speculation the Giants would make a play for him when his 12-month contract expires at the end of next year.

McGuire vowed to declare war on GWS if the cashed-up club tries to tempt Pendlebury.

Sheedy fired back, saying he will have one of the new club's most controversial employees keep tabs on the gun midfielder.

"Scott Pendlebury is a superstar and we will be having one of our best recruiting staff - Phil Scully - watching him in every game next year," Sheedy said.




I'm usually a defender of Eddie but he's lost me on this one. His petulance here is something to behold.

As for Sheedy, well, he knows the controversy that Phil Scully's appointment has caused and he's milking it for all its worth.

Both have handled this very poorly.
