Gee thats poor.
Freo had a shocking run with injury, they played good football when they had their full team on the park. Dont think any other coach in the league could have done better

Wow pretty shocked by this one, Ross Lyon's name gloated as replacement I guess?

I thought he'd done a good job with them, and deserved a couple more years...

Media conference scheduled tomorrow to name the new coach.

Obviously planned for a while if they can announce a coach so soon...

very hard on him with the side he had this year.... but they have underachieved big time with the sides they have had over his 4 and a half years and we all know what happens rightly or wrongly when a club dont have some sort of success......

Pretty hard to do well with one ruckman, mostly one forward (until the last two years) that also played in the mids, and a negligible defence...

But he was making it work....

Probably wouldn't have been able to put a team on the park if he didn't

If Barto's mail is correct, then it's fair enough.

Karl Langdon said that the club and Harvey had differing ideas on getting Mitch Clark to the club, vs that 17yo WA lad who's supposed to be a superstar. He thought (30mins ago) that Eade would be the man. Now it seems it's pretty obvious..... but I'll wait for the announcement before making further comment.
