What is your opinion of Robert Harvey as a potential coach of this club.
I don't mean right now, but should the club decide not to renew RL's tenure.
Also, who would you like as his assistants?

Couldn't imagine Harves as a coach at all. A naturally gifted footballer, he seems like a 'doer', not a 'thinker' (and I mean that in the nicest possible way). Not sure if you guys have, but have you ever seen him take an active on-field leadership role (other than when he was captain), directing traffic, discussing with other players, like Spud or Burkey did, or Ball, Roo, Lenny these days?

agree. he's always been more the leader by example and my gut feeling is that he wouldn't make a good coach.degruch wrote:Couldn't imagine Harves as a coach at all.

He would certainly have the respect of the current player group and they may be prepared to make an extra effort for him than current management.
Maybe it's wishful thinking but I think he is in the mould of a Paul Roos where if he put his hand up for the position, the supporters, players would get behind getting him appointed.

the life span of a coach at our club is very very very short and in the end every coach ends up getting the sack, i dont think the Stkilda footy club should put the most loyal and truest champion of our history through the indignity of coaching our club and ultimatly the sacking from the club . I imagine Bangers after retirement will always be a welcomed face at the club but some how from his personallity i feel he would gladly just have a clean break and spend the free time with the wife and kids (maybe he and the missus could start working on another father son selection after Conner )

dunno
great player, but might not have any idea about coaching.
has he ever hinted that he would be keen after he hangs the studds up?
somehow i just cant see harves standing there at quarter time giving the players a leigh matthews fired up rant going off his tits cause players didnt try.
he just seems too nice and too passive for that.

Hamill? He'd be a handy forward coach now...talk about inside 50 forward line pressure!St_Cave wrote:I can't imagine Harvs as a coach he definitely leads by example but I don't know if the natural leadership ability is there. I don't know what anyone else thinks but I think that Hamill would make a great coach. I think he has both the leadership qualities required and led by example on the field.
Probably the same amount as Brett Ratten, plugger66.
Both had charge of their own senior teams (Ratten = Norwood, Jones = Narre Warren). Both have had experience in lesser competitions or roles (Ratten = asst at Melbourne, Jones = current coach of Gippsland TAC).
Jones is on the right pathway, no mistake.
It's not about what he's done, it's about what he's doing.

Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.
Under 18 is a hell of a lot different to AFL. Lets face it even if he wants to coach us he is not going to be ready in 2 years if we replace RL. Forget about him as a senior coach but maybe an assistant in a couple of years if he is is any good.SENsaintsational wrote:Probably the same amount as Brett Ratten, plugger66.
