Yes, we need to make a lot of time for Kevin.

Yeah, and we need to revisit that because that's a very interesting comment.

I'll get back to that.

Kevin Sheedy to join us straight up.

So Brad Scott's sacking announced yesterday.

James Heard last night puts his hand up and says that he will go through any process if asked and happily put his hand back in the ring to be coach of the Essendon Footy Club.

It's been a big 48 hours for the Essendon

There was a very sad passing of Neil Danaher and then the sacking of a senior coach, Kevin Sheed.

He's been good enough to take our call.

Sheed's welcome.

And first of all, the outpouring of emotion for Neil Danaher wouldn't have surprised you given how well you know him.

No, he was a fantastic person.

And when I look back on his life and the Danaher family, the

just an incredible sort of period in the history of footy and the history of Essendon and Melbourne and obviously the two Perth clubs that he went over and worked for also and probably in the end we both got together and started the Coaches Association about 20 years ago so he's a very caring person and obviously just put the candle on the cake of what a great person he is and always will be.

And then news comes through that Brad Scott's been sacked.

So how big a shock and surprise was it to you?

Well, it would have been a shock for me to be sacking him on the... basically just about the 24-hour kneel down at his side.

I mean... But look, I thought eventually one is he'd been very unlucky with the injuries that he's had.

And probably in the end, I think whilst he's unlucky, there's no doubt about that with the injury toll that he's had over the last two years.

I think that Essendon's probably crying out for the coach to come along and give a little bit of success.
