Should Essendon interview Josh Fraser? (23.06.26)

Hey, I've got a question here. A little question- Yeah ... Matt Nokes. You sent me a... Or someone sent me, I don't know if it was you, sent me this message- Wouldn't have been me ... that Mark Harvey floated at a- Oh, this one.

Tim Watson· Host0:11

At a luncheon on Friday, yes ...

Garry Lyon· Host0:12

it was at a lunch, and he said he suggests that Essendon should appoint two coaches and that hi- his opinion, Harves, the role is too much for one person. Now that, I love left field thinking.

Tim Watson· Host0:25

Yeah, I love Harves.

Garry Lyon· Host1:05

That is bizarre.

Tim Watson· Host1:05

How, how, how could you see this working? How could you- I couldn't. Yeah.

Garry Lyon· Host1:09

I couldn't. Because... And I'm not against people pushing the boundaries here, but y- I'm firmly of the opinion you need to have one man and one man in charge, and there, for the c- players to have no doubt about who the bloke in charge of the, of the team is. And there's a team over in Perth who have gone about it in a different way as well, and they're called Fremantle.

Tim Watson· Host1:29

Mm.

Garry Lyon· Host1:29

And they
