GREATER Western Sydney coach Kevin Sheedy says former Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos is "not a great advocate for west Sydney" and therefore should not be considered to take on his senior role down the track.

Following on from the Giants' chief executive Dave Matthews' belief that Roos was rated a million-to-one chance to ever coach the club, Sheedy said he believed the now-commentator did not support the push into the club's region.

"It's well commented by Paul that he thinks the Swans should be the only team of the AFL in Sydney so that would calculate him out of any position, I would have thought, at the Giants," Sheedy said.

"If you don't believe spiritually in your heart and soul that the Giants should be in Sydney, how could ever go and coach them?

"If you think I'm hard-nosed on it, I'm ruthless on it.

"You've got to love the game and develop the game for where we're going with this now - not later.

"You support or you don't support, and a number of times over the past 12 months, he doesn't believe the Giants should be in Sydney.

"He probably most likely thinks the money spent on developing the Gold Coast Suns and ourselves is probably wasted money.

"I can assure you a lot of AFL people and AFL clubs have supported the Swans in their development for three decades."

While Sheedy is expected to remain in the top job next season, there has been speculation the Giants have the 2005 Swans premiership coach as their top target for 2014.

But Matthews said he doubted Roos could be lured back to coaching and, if he was, it was unlikely to be at the Giants.

"Because people are often questioning what our succession plan to Kevin Sheedy will be, they naturally link Paul to that job like they do to every other job in the competition," Matthews told Melbourne radio station 3AW on Saturday.

"I honestly think Paul Roos would be a million-to-one to coach the Giants, partly because I think he's on record as saying he's not ready to coach again.

"But also because he's on record as probably questioning the overall strategy the AFL has with the Giants."

While Sheedy is yet to be officially locked in for next year, Matthews indicated that would happen and said the Giants were also confident of retaining Mark Williams as his senior assistant.

"That would be my expectation," Matthews said.

"He's got a contract for a year to go as the senior assistant coach.

"We haven't finalised anything with Kevin just yet but, when we do finalise things with Kevin, we'll then talk to Mark … I see no reason why he'd go elsewhere."

Sheedy himself said he "didn't need to worry about jobs and harassing people over contracts", and was content with a year-to-year scenario in regards to his senior role.

"I'll only be looking at coaching year by year. I think that's the right thing to do by this club," he said.

"When we come to an agreement on that, to me, I think that's the right thing to do particularly when you're not locking into two and three and four-year contracts.

"I think if you put it down to the club that we did it one year at a time, it's the best thing for myself and this young club. It keeps all options open.

"If I get the job next year, and I feel really well after that and we do a damn good job, then you might get another year. That's the way I look at it."

Matthews said the Giants, who have two wins this season, would be chasing five victories next year and would need to recruit some more experienced players to reach that target.

But he said they would be more in line with seasoned veteran recruits such as Chad Cornes and Luke Power than a marquee player like Collingwood's Travis Cloke.

"I don't think it's actually a necessity to get maturity that you've got to go for a really high-priced uncontracted player," he said.
