Coach Welcome home Mark Harvey

[Lord Nicholson]

His departure coincided with our sharp descent into unutterable awfulness.

Lets hope his return can fix that.

Did this thread really need to be infected with the dribble of that little toe rag?

 

[I Remember Bluey]

I'm so happy, I just farted.

I think club legends need to escape the bubble of their "home" club to gain experience at other clubs, it is good for their growth as a coach.

It's bloody fantastic when they return home though. Welcome back Harvs.

G'day Harv's

Very true. I'd love to see Fletch do an apprenticeship at a few clubs as an assistant before returning home.

Bloody legend one of my favourite dons players.

 

[Essendonia]

Was always upset he got the Freo gig and was gone before Sheeds got the tap on the shoulder.

Good to have you back.

Love your avatar.

Harvs was my fav player growing up. Loved watching him play CHB when he had no right to.

He wanted to coach EFC but once he find out Sheeds was staying he said catch and took the Freo gig.

Welcome back Harvs, interested to know his motives

Assistant to Sheeds for 8 years, leaves for 8 years, comes back Assistant to Hirdy.

Does he still have aspirations to coach us ? could it cause us more issues?

I'm not sure how he is feeling now but he's always said that he'll never coach again because of how he was treated at Freo. Time can change things but I'm comfortable he won't be a senior coach again.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

If he has aspersions to coach again he would of applied for the Suns/Dogs coaching gigs.

Never seen an Essendon player harder at the ball then Harvey - He was ferocious !

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Yeah terrific player, almost underrated in a way and one of the most courageuos to ever pull on the guernsey. But to be honest I never wanted him to be head coach. Hopefully he'll be a good assistant.

That's what made him my fav for a long time, just had no regard for his own safety

 

[Vander18]

Crazy brave as a player - youngsters should YouTube his mark going back with the flight against North with Mick Martyn coming full bore the other way.

Will harden the young blokes right up I reckon, good appointment.

People remember his hardness and tend to forget he was very poised, very smart and a beautiful kick. Was a great footballer, certainly in my best Bomber team.

Worth posting....can count on one hand the players I've seen who would have done this. Hird and TD the only Bombers I can think of.

Agree with this, just wish hird had done something similar.
