    What Arrogant Clubs think about us.

    Extract from Akers Book:

    Kevin Sheedy labelled the Bulldogs ''a shit club'' when Akermanis told the then Essendon coach of his choice, a fact Akermanis used to motivate his Bulldogs teammates each time they played the Bombers.


    I wonder if this is the rubbish peddled by arrogant clubs like Essendon. I have never liked Essendon as a club and they have a history of hating us.

    Excellent. Not point in GWS taking a player from a'shit' club.

    He can keep his hands off our players.

    Geez, wonder how many stupid quotes are going to come out of Aker's book. Hasn't he got enough haters?

    Sheedy will soon tell us. But maybe he won't want to get into the discussion thereby giving Akerpaininthearse more oxygen.

    Best description I've heard yet of that ex-player. (I have refused to type out his real name or nickname since he was sacked.)

    Are Essendon still hurting over 1924? Man they can carry a grudge!
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    They are certainly still hurting about 2000. We ruined their "perfect" season.

    The title of this thread is missing its prefix. It should read "I don't care..."

    What would you expect Sheedy to say in the circumstances.

    "That's great Jason, you prefer them to us because they're such a terrific club they're much better than us and you've made a wise choice."

    His ghost writer was really grabbing at anything that wouldn't get a writ slapped on them as soon as the book was published and this was about the best they could come up with

    What is Sheedy expected to say "They are a better club than us enjoy your time there"?
    If he had asked me , I would have said they are all shit clubs except for us.
