He’ll play at Aberfeldie with Ex team mate Adam Marcon as their coach and a few ex Williamstown premiership players who are from the north.
 
Blair Harvey was told he’s sacked last night at Whittlesea training. Tough call he’s done really well getting them to Div 1 and bringing through home grown juniors unfortunately the one big recruit the club got in this year doesn’t bother playing most weeks as he’s happy just getting a massive wage each week from the job the club got him to sign on.

Yep just heard this.

Always more to the story behind closed doors.

And that's why they will fall back into division 2, some clubs will never grow and have sustained success. Bad move by Whittlesea.
 
Who knows what reasons were behind it.

200 points against in a division 1 game of football is horrible. Did they have many out?
No idea why Harvey has been sacked, but as an outsider looking in seems a strange decision.

Has played a number of kids this year from 17’s and 19’s.

Missing from there best 22 from the weekend who have played games this year would be Higgins, Murphy, Waite, Watson, Brown and Molloy.

Any idea who has replaced Harvey?

Interested in your thoughts why you think Whittlesea don’t have sustained success?

I would think being a Div 1 club was being successful, especially for a town the size of Whittlesea.

To have Whittlesea and Hurstbridge in division 1 is a credit to both clubs and some clubs in division 2 such as Eltham and Diamond Creek would love to be in there position.

I do agree though it seems a very strange decision by Whittlesea as I can’t remember them sacking a coach before so something definitely gone amiss somewhere.

Sets up an interesting encounter against Northcote Park this week
 
Wonder if Jarrad Waite would take over? Sacking mid year seems nonsensical to me in such a tight race for the spoon.

Looking at results, whilst their seniors have been competitive can't help but see the backside fall out of NP soon, need your depth over the next 2 months with the slog about to begin, at least Whit's reserves are competitive and they have 19s.

Very interested to hear the reasons, he took a young local list to a flag in the last complete season so surely any issues could have been ironed out to at least shift the focus on survival with the look to review at the end of the season.

From the outside looking in players spoke with their actions allowing 200 points to be kicked on them.

It might seem non sensical to you but what happens if whittlesea had 10 players say they won’t play under him?
 
In my experience these decisions are almost always orchestrated by the playing group. Time will tell whether it’s the right decision. They either will get relegated or they won’t.

Some clubs are quite satisfied bouncing between divisions winning flags every few years. It’s not the end of the world to be in d2 next season

If Waite does coach hopefully he can play and not pull out each week in the pre game warm up due to not feeling right to play but still good enough to go runner. Think you will find most young players and those who have been playing under Stinga for a couple of seasons had no idea this was coming and don’t agree with the decision. They’ve had some poor results this season especially last week against Mont but they haven’t had a settled side and lose quality youngsters to VFL every week which wasn’t totally expected during pre season planning. Think some people high up or one family in particular don’t realise Whittlesea is where most inside and outside the club expected they’d be with there playing list which is fighting to stay up in Div 1. Still think Whittlesea will stay up with Northcote going down but this won’t help and doesn’t make much sense.

Norrthcote Park vs Whittlesea this week.

If Northcote happen to win, I think it might be curtins for Whittlsea. Northcote Would be a game clear and big percentage. Which is virtually 2 games. Big game!
 
Jacob Townsend has signed at Bundoora, going to be some good players missing out on a game when they have to juggle there points come finals time.
