Fremantle sack Mark Harvey

Featured Replies

FML. I really want Lyon. What does Freo have to offer him that we can't?

That's my issue with all this too Jaded. Surely we have a list he would love, and allowing him to stay in Melbourne for bloody good money. :wacko:

 

If anything comes out of this that we never contacted Ross Lyon....with the deal that was reported....then surly we would have stitched up MM???

Just a thought

Jt I have been thinking this all week.

It looks more like MM ever day to me.

WTF's going on? Cant even go get some food and [censored]'s popping off.

What's Lyon doing?

Fremantle are a lot richer than us so the one thing they have is more money. Just a thought!

Check this out from Sydney Morning Herald.

Harvey was told of on Thursday morning of his dismissal and is understood to have been shocked at Fremantle’s decision. He was told by Fremantle heavyweights that the club had snared a top coach in a “chance of a lifetime” coaching recruitment for the Dockers and their prospects of premiership into the next two to three seasons.

Maybe he'll join the boys back at Windy Hill? Can they fit anymore in there?

Breaking Bad is amazing HC, truly amazing..Nearly finished season 2...The Girlfriend has just choked

Don't say a word about the outcome!!!!!

season 5 has been commissioned....

Well you're in for a real treat if you're only up to season 2, season 4 IMO is the best of the lot. So so intense. Season 4 has 13 episodes and they have signed on for

16 final episodes to finish it off over 2 seasons. The writers will be able to tie it all up perfectly. Vince gilligan (x files writer producer) is a gun!

Anyhow back to the Harvey situation, this is bad bad news for MFC. It's MM or bust now for me but I'd bet money we get another rookie coach, it's the MFC way. Is there any danger we could stop all our moves reaching the media first like the dockers? Got to hand it to them nobody saw it coming and if they have Lyon they've done a super job.

Totally agree. Just when I think this week can't get any worse!! Seems like a bizarre decision by RL if it's true. Surely he was at the top of our list, above MM who I think would struggle without the amazing support structure the Pies have.

Fremantle has money to burn in terms of football departments.

After the big boys feed at the trough well pick up the leftovers.

We will have an untried coach next year.


Rumour on SEN that Lyon approached Freo (not other way) 5 weeks ago, and deal done soon after. Integrity issues??? Amazing set of circumstances.

I was thinking that it was a bit underhanded by Fremantle to be making offers to other coaches. But maybe not! Pretty crazy stuff.

I am far more furious, upset and dissolutioned about this than I was about Scully.

Come on, we have had more time than anyone to get our coaching situation sorted and here we are, losing out to goddamn Freo.

FFS where is the hope in supporting this club?

Very crazy. And just now, that apparently as fact, Freo told Mark Harvey twice in sacking meeting that the "better man" they had was Ross Lyon! Bugger me.

You don't consider Malthouse at all??

I do...patience grasshopper.....

One can only hope..... otherwise the Saints are now in play.....

Maybe they've played their hand already on MM :blink:

I think Gazza's body language just might give us a bit of a clue tonight as to whether we've got our man...or still out there looking. I'm sure he'll be peppered about it regardless.

One door closes, another one opens. I, for one, would love Mark Harvey at the MFC...

amazing ROSS LYON to FREO.

seems like players had a hand in booting mark harvey.

with FD.

tail wagging the poodle..

and that ROSS LYON management has been hunting freo job for a number of weeks..

seems MELB. never had a chance..

ROBERT HARVEY NEW SAINTS "INTERIM" COACH !

what ever that means ?

Edited by fuchsia


The Saints still have "Ross Lyon is Required" on their web site.

:lol:

If we have MM signed already then surely Garry Lyon is THE best poker player ever!

Robbo is saying we never spoke to Ross Lyon, quite amazing if true.

If Mark Harvey is appointed Melbourne coach we are obviously tanking again.

Oh FFS! Can anyone tell me anything about him that would make him appealing? has done absolutely nothing and appears permanently punch drunk.

Maybe he was offeed 6 mill for 6 years with 2 mill up front.

I find it very hard to believe that Lyon would chose Fremantle over us.

I'm starting to think we never even gave him an offer.... if you get my drift...

Hopefully its a sign that we already had someone lined up.... because the alternative is we really SUCK majorly!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
