Mark Harvey On the Couch
« on: May 05, 2008, 09:34:59 PM »
Did anyone watch On the Couch with Mark Harvey
I saw a very minute part and it was very embarrassing how he couldn't answer questions.
And then I go over to Bigfooty and they're feasting on his carcass lol

Can anyone tell me what happened?

Lol, he's on footy classified now. 

Its embarrassing to be honest.  Has no confidence at all, sounds unsure of himself.

Pretty average stuff.

I didn't see it but going by what people are saying he was even worse than he was on FC.

Walls: What does the Fremantle Football Club stand for?
Harvey: What it wants to stand for.

Sheahan: "You have an old list"
Harvey: "I inherited that list Mike".
Sheahan: "But you wanted Mark Johnson"
Harvey: "Yeah"

Harvey: "It doesn't matter how Peter Bell is playing"?

lol

In fairness to Harvey it wasn't just him. That whole club overrated their list. Their  president publicly saying in the preseason they were a show for the flag and all  :stupid. After they made a PF a couple of years ago they did what we did and topped up and now they're heading into the same abyss we did. The problem for Freo though is the draft picks won't be available with the new teams coming into the comp.

On the positive side it's not us lol and it's got rid of Pav_for_AA and his moronic Mundy vs Lids threads on BF :lol  :wallywink :thumbsup

He is the same fool as frawley.
Stupidity factor = same.

Harvey speaks like a surly,unqualified child and it is indicative of his failure as a senior coach.

Sheeds' little, adopted street child was so stupid he believed he could coach.
A bit of a problem when u cant even communicate with other human beings :rollin
It's easy to see from his tenure,how no respect for the coach ultimately sends the team spiralling in to Frawleydom

Remember when we were coach spotting...and we didn't even contact him - lol

Big man in his lunchbox but definitely not coaching material.

Paul Hasleby has got stuck into his own club. He said there's been a culture problem since he's been there, the performance on the weekend was pathetic,  and the club has gone backwards in terms of wins/losses since Chris Connolly left.

Someone obviously wants out lol.

Of the 5 minutes of it that I saw, he came across as a dill. That may seem harsh but...

When Mike is asking questions, making valid points and then you cannot offer a decent repsonse then you look like a dill.

They showed some of Harvey's press conferences - he doesn't handle himself (gawd he even made some of spuds cringeworthy stuff look good  :o)

Harvey raised the issue that Carr is dealing with some stuff (hence why he kneed Gary Jnr) and then when Mike says what is it? Harvey says something like "I wont say and you shouldn't ask". SO Mike says well "you bought it up Mark so we have a right ask" (Mike's right here BTW) and Harvey gives a nothing answer

As I said he didn't come across as well at all.

He's only got himself to blame, Solomon, Johnson ..oh dear ;D

hate to tell you this, but Dean Soloman is having a great year actually.
And also for those who did watch the show, no mention of any of you commenting on Healy and Walls getting into McMahon saying how pityfull he was then showing the vision where he failed to chase ::)

Something obviously amiss at Freo. The club is pretty much where we were in 2004 passionless directionless spineless gutless and all this just a couple of years after a prelim final. If anything we were worse of with Spud we lost to the eventual premiers by 12 goals and topped up they were in the match until early in the last quarter. The Port game in rd 1 when they were 6 goals up in the 3rd quarter and lost has been the clubs turning point and everybody other than those responsible have been made the scapegoat.
I saw it and was cringing Mark Harvey does not want to take any responsibility and neither do many of the players hence a cultural discipline and behavioural problem. With the loser culture that has plagued the club since its inception and the fact that they have not recruited a coach with balls and a hard nosed pr1ck of a bloke who won't take any crap from anybody is it any wonder why this club is in the predicament it is in.
Neesham Drum Connolly and now Harvey is turning the club into a former Essendon player half way house. Let them suffer I say.

Mentally the Freo players are fragile but you've also got to ask if they are fit? Most of their last quarters have been pitiful. Their last quarter % is just 55.

hate to tell you this, but Dean Soloman is having a great year actually.
2 games don't make a year.

Giving up a first round pick plus Medhurst for Tarrant has been a disaster.

Giving up a first round pick plus Medhurst for Tarrant has been a disaster.

He was wanted out of Collingwood 4 years ago for being a lazy & troubled footballer & from what info l got they were trying to get a good deal for him every year in trade until the Medhurst deal come up & they finally got rid of him
l can tell you from another Freo player who is also on the outer over there,  he is not well liked in the camp by some players & he has no injury of any kind
