Toast Pav on Harvey Sacking

[estibador]

Pretty damning stuff considering Pav is usually so ultra-diplomatic.

I'm going to have to get myself this book I think.

the timing on the book doesn't bode well for him going around again tbh

Anyone know when this book will be out?

"The other issue with Harvs was the way the message was delivered. Like all good coaches, he was trying to be hard and demanding on the players, but the message became garbled — to the point where a player would walk out of a team meeting and ask, ‘What was that all about?’ It was a frustrating period and put me in a tough position.

The captain has to back up the coach and make sure his message gets through to the players.

Often with Harvs I was playing the role of translator rather than someone reinforcing his message."

Just lol, why does this not surprise me at all...

Wish he'd translated a few of the pressers.

Harvlish: "We are a dangerous team"
Pavlish: "Our potential to be a dangerous team, was grossly overshadowed by the poor display we showed on the weekend"

Harvey is a seriously ****ing weird person as well.

Will stick a knife through any future coaching aspirations he may have had

 

[Kram]

Will be interesting to read his thoughts on Cuddles Connolly and Damian Dumb.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Haven't gotten to the stage in the book yet, but apparently he refers to Sandi as an 'ex-teammate'.

I was really hoping that he at least got the caretaker job at Essendon just to see him in action again.

Players weren't happy with Cuddles in 2004-5 ish due to the fitness program. Pav sat on th edge a bit but didn't say good things about the game plan back then as well.

they were actually cringeworthy. i remember thinking at the time either Harvey is taking the piss or we are in serious trouble.

did he say anything about Peter "White ant" Bell's role in that?

apparantly at one point Bell and Connolly were so at odds they refused to be in the same room.

Not that I recall.

Drum was ok considering how poor the list was at that point.

Pav's also having book signing sessions this weekend and next week. Definitely getting my hands on one..
Think it's Saturday 12pm at Booragoon Dymock (Garden City) this week- 10th October. Going to be in Perth CBD on Friday, not sure what time though.

FLOG Whatley!!!! I love how Robbo keeps going on about it and Gerard wants no one too know. The embarrassment on Whatley's face is great to see.

He blocked me on Twitter for pointing this out to him

You're being pretty kind I think.

It's always a bad sign when a new coach takes a team straight backwards from day 1 and makes them progressively worse each year. Drum was the Neeld of the late 90's.

Whatley is a polesmoker.

So much this, they even look the same.

Horse poles

 

[Van_Dyke]

The book is majorly concerning for him going around again. Refers to everything in the past tense (including teammates etc).

Grabbed the book today.Marked down from $32 to $27 at Dymocks.Interesting that his mum and dad both told Freo at their interviews not to draft him.Did not want him to go to Freo.Thought the club was not AFL standard and the players were more interested in Surfing than football.
