Kevin Sheedy announced for 2013 WAFL Grand Final LuncheonFriday, September 6, 2013 - 1:11 PM

WA Football’s game of the year will also feature one of the AFL’s greatest legends, Kevin Sheedy, at the WAFL Grand Final Luncheon on Sunday 22 September. This special occasion with Sheedy promises to be significant, memorable and colourful.

The four-time premiership coach and member of the AFL Hall of Fame is known as much for his off-field work as he is for his premierships. In 1998, he broke the record for coaching more AFL games than anyone else in history. With a total of 886 games under his belt, he holds the AFL record for the most games combined as a player and coach.

Sheedy has been a success as a player and coach and is without peer when it comes to engaging new communities in the game. As an ambassador to the AFL, he was heavily involved in developing the Greater Western Sydney side. He was also a driving force in the development of AFL Sportsready, a program which has provided more than 4000 jobs for young people.

In addition, he drove events including the ANZAC Day match between Essendon and Collingwood, the 'Dreamtime at the 'G match to celebrate indigenous players and Essendon's strong presence in the Sydney market.

His most recent appointment was as the inaugural coach of Greater Western Sydney in late 2009, where he signed a three-year deal to coach the side through to its first year in the competition in 2012. This year he concluded a magnificent career spanning more than 40 years.
