GAA: Sheedy determined to succeed

Having won four AFL Premierships and waited 25 years to finally coach his country, Kevin Sheedy is determined to lead Australia to glory in this month's International Rules Series.

The Essendon veteran feels his squad - which is a lot smaller, faster and skilled than previous Aussie line-ups - is ideally placed to gain revenge on Ireland for the embarassment of last year's 132-82 Series loss in Dublin.
