Flight DJ704 to Melbourne..Paging Mr Connolly FINAL CALL!!

[Rik E Boy]

Big whispers that Essendon bridesmaid, Mark Harvey has been signed to be *ahem* ASSISTANT coach to Chris Connolly over there at F*ckedmantle. Now who in their right mind would leave the assistant Essendon gig for the same job at the Shockers??

True, Harvey would probably end up waiting as long as your average Cat fan for Sheedy to fall off the perch but surely this spells the end for Connolly, a coach who has probably kept a top four team out of harm's way in recent seasons (if they can ever find someone to kick goals regularly instead of the laughable double act of Farmer and Medhurst).

Yes, Harvey to assist Connolly...to assist him in PACKING HIS BAGS. Bye Bye Chrisso!!

Chris Connolly is contracted at Freo til end 2007...though I think you'll see Harvs in that post before then...

$250k a year...that's $100k more than the Crows Assistants are earning...

TB havent you ever heard of coaches sacked while still contracted?

It would NEVER happen at Glenelg...pffffft.
