The Giants’ mentor told media in his post-match conference that Lyon’s side, not through their own fault, had benefitted from a favourable draw this season.
“They’ve probably got the best draw of all time, they’ve won Tatts Lotto, they haven’t played the top four more than once,” Sheedy said.
Fremantle’s finish to the home and away season includes fixtures against the current bottom three in the AFL and Port Adelaide at Patersons Stadium.
Lyon hit back at Sheedy, reminding journalists that Fremantle’s draw was not easy, based on last year’s ladder positions.
“Commentaries on draws are really interesting because, like most analysts or flippant opposition coaches, it runs as deep as about the last two weeks,” he said.
“I’m happy to listen when people do a real detailed analysis of the draw.
“All I know is, when it came out, if you look at our first eight weeks, we played six of last year’s top eight, Adelaide twice, West Coast twice.”
Lyon won’t be losing any sleep worrying what others think of his side.
“At the end of the day, you look after your own performance,” he said.
“It’s all garbage, to be honest.”
