Essendon legend has stepped down from the Bombers’ board.
The Bombers confirmed on Thursday night that the four-time premiership coach had opted to step down as a director of the club – almost four years after he was appointed in the wake of a tumultuous season.
Sheedy is arguably the most influential figure in Essendon history, having guided the club to all four of their premierships won since the 1960s, and having built the club into an Australia-wide goliath.Sheedy had been previously engaged as a paid consultant by Essendon to deal with coteries, past players, and influential sponsors.
In effect, this was a division on the issue of whether Ben Rutten would be retained as senior coach in 2022. Rutten was ultimately replaced by Brad Scott.
