For those of you that missed it, Harvey suggested a pre-season match combining East Fremantle & South Fremantle vs Fremantle Dockers. Sounds like a good idea with proceeds going to charity.
 
Talked about the following players:

Zac Clarke: Gone from 81-89kg in first year. They want him around 100kg mark eventually. He's a work in progress. Indirectly suggested he would get opportunity through injury rather than be best 22.

Rhys Palmer: Might be ready around round 1-2.

Matt DeBoer: Easily coachable. Knows his limitations. Enjoys his ferocity at the contest.

Matthew Pavlich: Has a calf strain. Knee is fine. Won't be participating in scratch match. Will play more forward than midfield ideally.

Anthony Morabito: Suggested he would get early games. 95kg frame.
 
Surely you jest Mr Shed. We may not have the greatest list going around but the 79ers must be well past their prime by now. Freo by 3 goals.:rolleyes:

Thanks 4n20, a good tape. Harvs has a good sense of humour and really seems to be the right man at the right time for the club at this point in its history.

Hadn't listened to Bob for a long time, seems to have mellowed a fair bit from the angry eighties days.

Had a chuckle when at the end of the interview Harvs asked him about the tongue ties - messy, fiddly job putting them on the neddies!

ah footy hype.we're still a fair way off the pace from challenging for the top 4.

yeah. no. maybe.

Injuries and all that will figure, another key factor will be how successful GC17 and GWS are at luring away stars from the other teams - and how good we are at repelling them when they come over here.

I think he was talking about this year? Maybe I'm wrong. But anyway I'd say we're a big chance for top 4 in a few years. We've probably recruited the most proven and talented young midfielders out of any side over the past 3 years.
 
I took it as being in a few years, I really don't think he's the type to unduly raise peoples' expectations

I honestly think that's what his goal is this year, and so it should be! That's his character. Whether that is realistic or not we will have a better feel for that in 4 weeks time.

IIRC he used the words "top 4 powerhouse", or similar. That's pretty heady stuff, and based on what he's said in the past, atypical of the man.

Plus, given the age & experience of the bulk of our playing group I seriously doubt that he'd be putting that sort of pressure on them this early.

Have another listen to the tape, I think you'll find he's quite measured in what he says.
 
A genuine thanks to 4n20 for the link. Very much appreciated.:thumbsu::)

To all of the haters, doubters and cynics of Harvey, I would encourage you to spend 27 minutes of your miserable lives listening to this interview.
Especially the first half before the ad break.
Harvey was forthright, honest and at ease behind the microphone, (as if that makes a coach btw).

He is our man. And f*** you all.
