Well it seems as though Harvey will be taking the reigns at Essendon and it may well be before the year is out.

Conolly looks safe for the time being.

Chris has coached well in recent weeks and I think he is the man for the next few years. If he could get a more competitve midifield then he would be well equipped to attack a finals series. So far he hasnt quite had the cattle.

I think your referring to an interview I heard fleetingly this morning on the radio, I got the impression that CC was responding to a hypothetical,somethiing like:
If Sheeds gets the arse would you or the FFC stand in Harvs way if he wanted to return.

CC's response was obviously F***k no!:thumbsu:

What makes you think that when they have an experienced assistant like Gary Ayres in there? And a great up and comer like Gary O'Donnell.
 
Mark Harvey will be at Essendon as head coach in 2007 and possibly before. You can bookmark this, it is 100% to happen.
 
Essendon won't sack Sheedy. He'll see out his contract.

Sacking him will destroy the club, after all he has done there is no way it would ever be considered. The board aren't that stupid.

Don't kid yourself.
 
Mark Harvey came to Freo because he knows that Gary O'Donnell is ahead of him in the pecking order. There is also the possibility that Bomber Thompson, Neale Daniher, Mark Williams or Denis Pagan will be looking for a new job at seasons end.

If Harvey was the heir apparent he would have remained at Windy Hill.

Sorry to butt in but there is nothing wrong with your current "cattle" stocks.
Your post is totally wrong from start to finish.

Harvey is more likely to get a gig as a senior coach over east than he is at Freo. He's 3rd in line at best, wasn't even there first choice for the assistant's Job.

For a team that plays at Subiaco most weeks the midfield isnt as strong as it needs to be.

CC hasn't helped himself much by playing Schammer and Bell in the backline. Matt Carr is also terribly out of form, Headland and McManus are injured. My Bigfooty buddy Schofield will get a run this week. We do need some precise foot skills delivering to our forwards, whether Jarrad has the hardness and will put his body on the line against a tough roos outfit?

Well sir change your signature. The best in the West is from the Port and we have the trophy to prove it.

If my noises in the powder room are right then my post is 100% accurate.

Lets analyse this. Harvey wants a top job, he was directly below Sheedy, He was wooed west to become the highest paid assistant ever, He came to Fremantle good list (Better than the Bombers) CC's job on the line was likely in most eyes to take the Freo job during the year.

The situation now looks like CC is safe, meanwhile Sheedy has been hanging around like Johnny Howard and it finally his time is coming to an end. Did you see the Essendon heavy on 7 news tonight saying Sheedy's job is 100% safe? A sure sign a coach is going to go. All good things must come to and end and Kevin has certainly had his time and done a fantastic job.

Harvey is the ideal man with his experience to get the job he has been waiting for the trip west has not hurt his chances one little bit.



All of you seem really touchy about this. He is an assistant coach, a good one but it is not the end of the world if he goes.

Aryes is there to take over he been there, Harvey hasn't.

Also Harvey would need a permanent media minder because he's very ordinary when interviewed.

haven't written it up yet, it's only on cassette. I didn't focus entirely on the Dockers more his whole career if that's what you were after. But he said Chris Connolly was the right man to take Freo to the finals, he also said last year was a complete write off because after his 2 surgeries he just couldn't run properly, but now he's got a full pre-season behind him he is confident of having a good year.
 
Saw on sky news Essendon (CEO I think) saying that Mark Harvey was the man to help them climb the ladder and that they would be pursuing him next year..

That is a big statement, I could not find any article on skys website that confirmed it. With such a big statement I would have thought it would be one of their lead articles. You'll have to do better than just "Saw on sky news...".
 
I would not like to lose Harvey, If CC just keeps Freo performing as a 'middle of the road' team, which is all we have been , I cannot see the point of any more suffering of 'same old same old'. What I will say and I have been watching them train for the last 5 years is a DEFINATE change with the appointment of Harvey and Shaw. Players have jumped to new levels, JJ being a prime example. They are definately no longer a 'soft touch' team. I am 100% positive this new hardness at the ball and opposition is directly linked to Harvey. I like it and I want to see more of it, so that means Harvey should never be released.
