He couldn't do it with the Saints and now he'll finish his coaching career with the nevercans!

There have been accusations that he was ignoring medical advice and playing injured players etc.

When you've got a supporter base who regularly leaves the ground around three quarter time, it only makes sense for the board to make rash, premature decisions to appease them.

Shite game anyway, watch the Rugby.

How long has the team been injured?

Mark Harvey's scorecard...

2007: Won 4 out of 7 games.

2008: Finished 14th on the ladder. 6 won - 16 lost.

2009: Finished 14th on the ladder. 6 won - 16 lost.

2010: Finished 6th on the ladder and won 1 final match. Decent effort. Also had an embarrasing 116 point loss to Hawthorn that year.

2011: Finished 11th on the ladder. 9 won - 13 lost.

Given the talent in the Dockers squad, this does not strike me as a coach leading the team forward. People can say about injuries and what not this season, but his history isn't that great either.

Have to say, being a Freo supporter, I was shocked last night when I heard it. Even more so 15 mins later when I heard Lyon had told St. Kilda he was not going to see out his contract with them. Unsure if this is a smart move, Harvey was a pretty tough coach, and he brought a new sort of physical hardness to the game, problem is, I think in this day and age, the players can't take that hardness, thus, a few injuries this year.

Maybe Lyon will be more tactful! Who knows. Bring on 2012 I guess!

There is clearly more to it than most people will ever know... Being a Freo fan, I was definitely a supporter of Harvey and thought he did a great job last year, and would probably have continued to improve this year without the ridiculous injury tally but I think that some of the ways he dealt with things this year were not the ideal and I know for a fact that there were senior players who weren't happy with some of his methods and management.

This deal has been on the go for at least a number of weeks and as good as Harvey has been(which is good, but as the stats prove, hardly revolutionary) if they were thinking of letting him go at the end of his contract(next year) then I think, given the opportunity to get a proven quality head coach the club has probably made a good decision. My thoughts anyway!..
I'm gutted that he got done over the way he did, and I think it could have been handled much better, but I reckon he'll get picked up by one of the 5232134 clubs looking for new coaching staff for 2012.

I just hope that Lyon can come in and get the team up and running for next year!

Well Geelong v Collingwood GF like predicted. Stevy J will be a massive loss for the Cats but Pies have forgotten how to play footy. Tipping Cats in a ripper by 7.
