Richmond women’s football manager Kate Sheahan “had no idea what she was saying” in suggesting Collingwood AFLW coach Wayne Siekman should be sacked, according to Siekman’s assistant Daniel Harford. 

The Magpies are the competition’s only winless team so far, having lost their first three games of the AFLW season for the second year in a row, and their chances of a grand final appearance are as good as non-existent as they sit on the bottom of the ladder. 

Siekman has only guided the Magpies to three wins from 10 games since the AFLW was established last year and it prompted Sheahan to make the eyebrow-raising statement that he should now be a “very nervous man”. 

“I don’t know how someone like that keeps their job when he’s working for the most powerful club in the land,” Sheahan said of Siekman on SEN on Monday.
