Probably for the same reasons many assumed Voss would be a good coach. By all accounts Tom Harley is a just a huge figure at the Geelong football club - intelligent, brave, and a 4-star general on and off the field. Why wouldn't you want this guy at the club?Originally Posted by dread and might
He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.
Tom Harley is one classy handsome guy. I reckon it's a couple of years in the media. It was pretty clear that he wasn't interested in coaching for now as wouldn't be able to "plot the downfall" of Geelong.
Whatever he does, he will be a welcome addition to the Sydney AFL scene. Would be good to see him involved in grass roots footy in NSW with the AFL flinging around $100 mil locally, we could definitely afford him.

Not saying I don't want him. I just think that any player who can string three words together (intelligent) and has been a good player is instantly assumed to have the makings of a good coach which may not necessarily be the case.
I wish my weed was EMO so it would cut itself
YAY! I'll be happy with Ch7 for a change.

In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.
In this day and age most captains are guys who can lead a group of footballers. That is why people assume he will be a good coach. To lead a team such as Geelong over the last few years speaks volumes.
Doesn't always translate though, Danny Frawley and Tony Shaw were great captains but poor coaches
Anyone could have led the cats in the last few years.

Theres always the minority. The opinions of his ability to move into coaching would be coming from alot more reliable sources and people, that have been around footy clubs inner sanctums rather than your Keyboard. As was said before you dont hear that every Capt/Player that retires are coaching material in the future, when there is huge raps on someone as is with him, Bucks, Hird Etc i would back them to be right as Voss has proven. Sometimes you see players that retire that arent superstars at all but are said to be destined to coach, Clarkson, Laidley etc
The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point...
