That occurred to me too - Mark Harvey is a first-year coach, and is probably finding, as in all jobs, that it is not easy stepping up to be the boss.

He has also inherited a team that undoubtedly has some talent but that is also deeply flawed. It will take a few years for him to build the list that he wants. In addition, much of the team has grown up under the very different regime of a very different coach.

I have a lot of faith in Mark Harvey and I think that he will prove to be a very good thing for Freo. Tough man for a tough job.
