But it was his answer to the second last question, whether he considered it a challenge to guide into the finals the club which no longer wanted him, which required more explanation.
"I'm pretty ruthless. When I move on you'll know and so whatever happens in the next 12 months will know. Don't ever think that that won't happen," he said.
"That's how I left Richmond, remember, and people do forget. So there'll be a very ferocious person let out of a cage at the end of this year and you know that."
When asked to elaborate, Sheedy, with his trademark charm, ended the press conference.
"Doesn't matter," he said. "We only have to be here five minutes."
Sheedy has been in the caper for far longer than that to be more candid than he wants.
