Coach Welcome to Hawthorn : Robert Harvey

[Mojo]

No mention of big Monky - hope he’s still around

Not sure he's ever been officially part of our coaching team. Bloke just sort of shows up to trainings.

We probably keep him around because he has a Costco card.

Great appointment. With the loss of McCrae, felt like we were missing something with our lineup, but this is a very solid addition and balances out our coaching team very, very nicely. Ex Collingwood, Freo and West Coast Intel, plus a new coach, and a new head of development should be a refreshing change for the players, a wealth of experience, and lots of new ideas. Don't reckon it will click instantly, but seems a great 'vibe' about the appointments we have made and have been very purposeful. Good to know we are still an attractive club for assistants even post Clarko.

Think we've now got a good blend of wise old heads to guide a rookie coach, with a good set of newbies full of fresh ideas.

Very happy with this appointment.

Great coaching off season by the club, feels and looks like a breathe of fresh air to me.

Harvey is just a great great get.

He is/was...... I guess if he's still there when Harvs appears on there he is still on board.

 

[Gene Simmons]

Exciting, Mitchell & Harvey two of the hardest working players you will find in recent time, dedication in preparation, sets great standards and values.

You're not wrong there... I remember that story about Harvey jumping off his kitchen bench to snap a bone in his foot to aid his recovery... (or something like that!!)

Think it was Plantar Fasciitis

Achilles

Snapping your foot bone sounds way sicker.

 

[Nathan Detroit]

Sneaky chance for a Rookie spot?

I hear Geelong have been sniffing around...

 

[PenAndPaper]

No mention of big Monky - hope he’s still around

Why wouldn't he be? Haven't had a new ruck coach come in

 

[HODGEYROAD]

This caps off a pretty fresh coaching staff. Lets hope for the best I suppose.

Plantar fascia to be factual.

Too young

Snapping your foot bone sounds way sicker.

I know going through plantar fasciitis myself that you almost would break bones in your foot to get the pain to go away.

Really pumped that Robert Harvey is on board. As a poster said elsewhere on the board today, the next year or two are going to be fun, watching both the playing team and coaching team develop.

 

[crazywildhorse]

One of my favourite non-Hawk players.

My positive feelings about our coaching appointments this off season can be summed up by the great Dennis Denuto thusly

 

[bumsonseats]

My favourite non Hawthorn player back in the day. Him and Scotty West.
Champions at their craft and good honest clean players.

I am sure he will bring plenty of great thinking into the coaching group and help inspire the development of of game plan and our youth

 

[Mitchell Madness]

No mention of big Monky - hope he’s still around

He is. Was on the Sunday footy show a week ago and mentions how he loves his gig at the hawks

 

[Coathanger]

It's a wait and see for me. He was a known white ant at Carlton....
And of course he had Pies flying this year...
There's a reason he's at his 4th club.

 

[Vanstead]

Why wouldn't he be? Haven't had a new ruck coach come in

I know he's a much-loved presence, but it's not like our rucks have been elite or our centre clearance work has been a standout.

 

[Mattwj81]

Robert Harvey is a ripper of a bloke. Great get. wish we could have kept him in some role but understand with McRae we needed fresh air at the club.

Please elaborate? or are you talking smack from someone's cousins sisters husband told you something?

Certainly seems at odds with everything everyone else is saying doesn't it...
