Note how Harley rarely says anything critical about the AFL. He could have smited them over the Buddy recruitment penalties, media and work deals ticked off as outside the salary cap for VFL clubs or even umpiring.
He does not. Why? He is a company man and the VFL is his company. I am convinced he sees himself as the successor to Baron Gil of McLaughlinland.
We were bloody lucky to have had Ireland as our long term CEO. We are less lucky to have Harley.
I do not know, but having a corporate lawyer (who is a Harley mate) run our footy department seemed to be a weird punt. No-one knows if this punt has gone out on the full.
When Horse leaves at the end of the year, I believe a review for the Club and it's footy department is warranted.
Be it Caracalla or Ratten, it is time the Footy Department got a shakeup. It would be great if our new coach was supported by someone like Balme or even Ayres.
