Tom Harley

[grimlock]

See what exactly?

Class with a capital C?

 

[bloodsnut]

Does this mean I won't get to play against him in the 9's this year?

 

[robbieando]

and we don't lose Dean Moore completely either, which is a bonus as is the nugget regarding the role he'll undertake

Ireland said that whilst Moore would step down from a full-time role with the club, he would stay involved, working on upcoming major projects including a review and upgrade of the club’s facilities.

 

[kickthething]

It could be a trick?

A deflection strategy!!!?? I like the sound of this appointment, even if I don't exactly understand his role yet !

 

[Dangas]

Wow, surprise no doubt. Welcome Tom!

 

[smithey2012swannies]

Bring in ablett for us harley cheers

 

[Superstar swan]

What are his credentials for this role , bit of a risk employing a guy with no experience overseeing the entire football department of a list that is probably top 2 in the league .

Not over the moon by the situation

 

[Turnsole]

Yep, works for me. Harley seems to have some nous about him.

The club would've surely had some expectations the person had to reach in order to be even considered for the place. But I guess we will wait and have to see, in hindsight I'd say its a pretty good pick up.

 

[Mcveigh]

He has creepy hands/fingers...

 

[stevoswan]

Hawks flogs in meltdown again, reckon it's because of the '08 GF......it's always about them......

Was head of AFL NSW for memory?

Would have preferred someone like bomber Thompson for the role

 

[Swan Dive]

Not a bad idea. He'd bring an edge to the role.

But whether it's Harley, Thompson or someone else, something tells me the way the club is run from now on will have a much sharper edge to it. The shockwave from last Saturday will see to that.

 

[Tuco]

Quality. Excellent.

 

[baja]

We were looking at him for another role towards the end of his playing career. His missus is some big shot at a Sydney based magazine if I remember correctly.

 

[Millky95]

Good to have him on the team

According to the Swans he has done a great job in that role. They must see something in him. I'm for it...

 

[GoTheSwannies]

seems like a very strategic guy from what i can see. wasnt the most talented either but was a significant cog in the geelong machine

great get by the swans imo

i think off field he'd be more valuable than he was on it
