Rumour Robert Harvey looking elsewhere?

[NT.Thunder]

He was spotted at Essendon training today;

Seems like he's just on a club by club tour checking out training techniques. Obviously sitting there with a few of our other coaches too.

**** I want that job - sadly I lack the 383 games, 2 Brownlow Medals, 4 Best & Fairest's and 8 All Australian

 

[THATSGOLD]

Yep Taps and Burns are on the move.

It’s an Open to Public Training Session and Other Clubs do the same with us

 

[NT.Thunder]

Why is it spying if it's an open training session?

 

[unplugged]

I'm more concerned by Burnsy's sandals. Jeepers.

Probably just looking for a new weed guy, logical place to start.

OK. Probably what's going on at the kennel then. Resume normal transmission guys (or at least put the Harvey hate on hold for a while)

Taps has got the right idea!

 

[Cory]

Scott Burns wears sandals... Ew

 

[jmac70]

Without complete details perhaps it was two mates catching up for coffee? It's too late in the piece for a contracted 2IC coach to be even considering a move...

I'm somewhat confident that Harvey won't be with us in 2016, but for 2015 I'd say lock it in Eddie!

The coffee there is really crap.

Harvey's shorts aren't the best either.

 

[Anzacday]

Personally I couldn't care if they were in wetsuits and ugg boots.
Provided their mind is on the job who cares what they wear!

Or you could probably just ask your wife

And Collingwood too!

 

[Markfs]

And Collingwood too!

I think we should sack him first.....

but then consider rehiring him because he is wanted by so many clubs...

Solid plan imo

Solid plan imo

The only way to stay on the front foot is by reacting quickly to other clubs' initiatives....

Maybe they are hoping to bring hird over to the pies if he gets sacked

Oh NO...does this mean Burnsy, Tapping and the guy I don't recognise are also going.. ?? BTW I thought cargo pants had been banned in polite circles...

Only in hipster suburbs.

Bring back LAppin imo

Wash your filthy mouth out.

This one frustrates the hell out of me. It would be a big fat mistake to bring that personality into our club. People need to go over to the Adelaide forum and read about some of why he got fired. And then ask themselves if we need that at our club.

It seems a bit odd given the circumstances of his departures from the Crows (although there is a bit of a trend of the tail wagging the dog with the manner of the departures of Sanderson, McKenna and McCarthy in the sense that players seem to have a bigger say than ever before) and there's always a danger of it becoming a boys' club / backslapping environment if the coaching group is too matey, but there is a real groundswell of support for it by the looks.
