There haven't been many fiercer competitors in footy history than Kevin Sheedy.

And the West Coast Eagles have certainly been one of his rivals in those 50 years.

In this chat, the four-time premiership coach breaks down some of footy's most iconic moments; the jacket wave in 1993, the 'slitting the throat' gesture to Mitchell White in 2000 and his final game as Essendon coach at Subiaco in 2007. 

He shares his thoughts on James Hird's retirement, his shock new location for a home and away game in the coming years and what he would do to players getting into trouble using social media.

Join the Essendon immortal and host Shane McInnes as they discuss three decades of football rivalry on Footy: Then and Now.
