Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I don't understand all the negativity surrounding Harley on this site. He was a mighty popular and highly respected captain at Geelong and not because he was an elite footballer, he wasn't. It was because he was thought of as a good leader and was a highly respected human being.
I agree if we can get our best 22 on the park and in form we will be formidable.
I agree with you about Harley. On my admittedly scanty knowledge I think very highly of him and think he has mastered the Horse approach to journalists: be polite, tell the truth and don't say more than you need to.
I also think he's highly regarded by his peers, both on the football side and the management side. As is so often the case, we got a good one.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Great footballers don't make great dentists, engineers, doctors or CEO's. I think he's to inexperienced at a corporate level to run a $30m business. I mean, does he even have an MBA?
He may become a great corporate leader but I wish he practiced somewhere else first while he hones his skills.
Just my opinion.
In general I agree with what you have said there.
I've said the same thing a few times regarding AJ etc
You get the best person for the job, and having played the game should count for something, but not much.
I see Harley's case as a bit different because there is no way in hell he would have got to where he has so quickly (within a professional organisation) without having the goods.
I dare say his elevation has been organic, deserved and eagerly allowed to happen.
As usual we don't know anything about his expertise, so we can only trust in the club making the right decisions at board level, and in recent history they have nailed it so no reason to start doubting now, without any real reasons.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
Yeah. Let's get some experienced corporate types like those we've seen before the banking royal commission. Overpaid inbred corporate ladder climbers whose only skill appears to be owning the achievements of others and disowning their own failures. Without doubt the moral bottom-feeders of society. There. I've had my say! Now let's get back to footy.
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
