Harvey smart or dumb??????

Precisely. If he stays at Essendon he will end up being a career assistant coach. At least at Freo, he knows he will get the top job as Connolly is a dud & they know it.
 
I doubt Harvey has the 'smarts' to make it as an AFL coach but it's time for him to put up or shut up. Good luck to him if he gets the Freo job. They are a funny lot in the west, very parochial for their own.

As for O'Donnell taking over from Sheedy I would doubt it. Brisbane fast tracked John Blakey past him to be the annointed one post Lethal. I'm not sure O'Donnell is as good as many believe. Geez he's fit though, apparently he came second in a training run with the senior Bomber squad last week!

Harvey makes Frawley look like a MENSA member.

Hope that answers your question!! ;D

I guess the level of contribution expected during games from assist coaches varies from team to team..but to me Harvey usually looks totally bewildered in the coaching box, and thats when they are winning!!

. If i was Sheedy i would be livid

I get the feeling Sheedy is pretty confortable with Harvey leaving.I suspect that while Essendon thought Harvey was an ok assistant he didn't have what it takes to be a senior coach.Hence getting O'donnel back as Sheedy's natural successor.
More the timing of it Evo

Would disrupt the bombers plans quite a lot , as i said ... you think this deal would have been stitched up at seasons end , not half way through November
 
Have watched Mark Harvey each week sitting next to Tony Shaw on the weekly Fox/Austar footy panel show. They both make Humphrey B Umpire look like a rocket scientist.
Fox should rename that program "Dumb & Dumber,the Series".

Harvey smart...give me a break.He's still at Essendon after how many years??????

That's more likely because it was known that O'Donnell wanted to return to Vic. Good words still come out of the Lions re GO'D.
 
Harvs,eh?I dunno...I reckon he would be too reactionary when the heat was on. and it got hot in the kitchen...a bit like what happened with frawls at times......I know he was a legend at Bomberland....but so was Timmy Watson and look how that panned out.I agree with pharace....i know O,donnell is thought of very highly up here(in QLD) and at bomber land.....my money for O,Donnell to be the bomber coach in waiting after sheeds pulls the pin......
 
Harvey finally made the right call.A few early losses to Freo next year & he will have the main job.Then we will find out how good a coach he is.Despite his sheltering at Esssendon I still think he would make a good coach.

:o Want to share with some of us what you see that we don't there MightyBoy?
 
It's the best option for Harvey. THe Bombers were never going to give him the senior gig, they obviously know he's not up to it. Freo will probably give him the job and find out that yes he really did spend all that time at Essendon putting out witches hats and holding the bag for other guys to jump onto and holding Sheeds clipboard.

Ask yourself this question... Would you want him coaching at Richmond?
No bloody fear, yet there were some people on this board who did last year when we were trying to replace the Dud.

I shared with you my opinion.(Free of charge).I just think he would make a good senior coach.
