Fremantle sack Mark Harvey

[Kento80 83]

Yes it will be.

Never heard before of a management group sacking the client because he made his own deal.

How silly does Kelly look?

Kelly couldn't do much as he couldn't represent RL in underhanded dealings against another of his clients.

I think that's what happened with Fevola at the start of the season. Did his own deal with Casey.

But then again he's probably not a good example.

Speaking of Fev. Wasn't Harvey fairly open to the idea of Fev playing for Dockers? What now?

Anyone see that one coming ?? a little left field..bout 3000 k left !!!

changes things...but not maybe our situation.

I actually posted on here a month or so ago that he would be the next to go this year.

Its a very good example. Lynch got sick of him ignoring his advice and having to continually bail him out repeated holes Fev dug for himself.

No. He just did not categorically rule it out. Dont make it what it isn't.

Not necessarily either.

They might not have not a coach lined up at all and are still searching.

My incompetenece comment stems from taking at face value Robbo and G Lyons comments that we didnt have talks with him at all. If not, why not ? Waiting to see what StKilda did ? pleassseee.....

Would be happy to hear down the track

1/ we talked to him but not interested ( because we were $2.5M trumped by Freo)

2/ We didnt need to talk to him because we already had someone in the pipeline

Would be unhappy to hear down the track that we didnt get a top line coach and we didnt talk to Ross Lyon because we didnt get the chance ( as both Robbo and Garry said).

you may hate how cold blooded and ruthless both Freo and Lyon have been but we could use a dose of that ruthlessness

Or 3/ he did not accept the invitation to talk.

It would be good to know the facts. There are a number of possible outcomes.

Where have I said that?

I have lauded the move a number of times on this site.

We'd have to at least talk to Harvey. His record is just a bit over 40% but there has been no side more badly hurt by injuries than the Dockers over the past 18 months. Of all the recent coach sackings he is by far and away the most unfortunate. He is a hard bastard and could add real value to the Demons. He often talks in riddles (obviously spent too much time with Sheeds, but I think given the circumstances his record is good and he certainly put a bit of steel into the flaky Dockers.

Not a huge Harvey fan, feel sorry for him, but a pretty dog act by Freo and Ross Lyon proves his moral standaing - Zero. wouldnt be surprised to see Harvey at GWS with Sheedy, good luck to him.

Gary on the footy show gave me the impression we have a coach locked in. hopefully MM

It's just been pointed out to me that the top six teams from 2010 will all have new coaches in 2012. Collingwood - tick; St Kilda - tick; Geelong - tick; Bulldogs - tick; Freo - tick...and who is the other team? (Adelaide? Or have I been living in a bad dream all this time and it was Melbourne...)
