    Greater Western Sydney coach Kevin Sheedy keen to unveil club's recruits

    GREATER Western Sydney missed out on the signature of Collingwood star Dale Thomas, but coach Kevin Sheedy says the AFL club is almost ready to make some major announcements.

    The season will end for nine of the league's 17 teams this weekend, meaning hundreds of players will have unrestrained freedom to walk away from their current side.

    Sheedy can't wait.

    "I would think in the next fortnight, we'll be making some decent announcements and they'll please a lot of people," he said.

    "Because in some ways, we'll be keeping players' careers alive and, in other ways, we'll be resurrecting an opportunity for people in other areas, maybe making them leaders of our club.

    "There's some really good, exciting decisions ready to be made soon."

    There's been speculation all season about who the Giants will recruit with Tom Scully and Callan Ward two of the names thrown up most consistently.

    The conjecture took a turn this morning in Melbourne when Triple M radio suggested GWS were set to unveil a big name who hadn't been connected to the club in the gossip mill.

      How can you unveil people when you don't know who they are or what they do?

          That's weird Andrew, he used to really annoy me and now he just makes me laugh.

            That is all.

              Sheedy's just the spruiker. He's been past his use buy date years ago.
              Hopefully he'll emulate his mismanagement of Essendon in the end.

                Let's be honest, Sheedy is selling GWS while Mark Williams is coaching them.

                  Hamish McIntosh would be my guess.

                    Sam Mitchell and Brendan Goddard are my guess.

                      They should end up with a better group of mature players than GC.

                        Wonder who the mystery man is?
                        Hope it's from Collingwood!

                          God, I forgot about all the bullshit that goes with Sheedy being involved in football.
                          I hope this team fails...miserably

                            So will they be traded or will it happen end of 2012 as they are contracted for 2012.

                              The whisper is that it is one of the biggest stars in the AFL, and his name hasn't been mentioned by anyone. That would seemingly eliminate Goddard and Mitchell (as they are constantly being mentioned as targets).

                              It seems unlikely seeing as the media are usually all over anyone who is out of contract. It could possibly be a player from outside Victoria who no one even realises is unsigned for 2012.
