MARK HARVEY has taken a swipe at ROSS LYON, the man who controversially replaced him as Fremantle coach last year.

HARVEY was sacked last September in sensational circumstances and replaced immediately by LYON, who’d walked out on St Kilda earlier on the same day.

The move blindsided HARVEY, who was contracted as Fremantle head coach until the end of 2012.

HARVEY .. who’s now a senior assistant coach with Brisbane .. says he’d never have spoken to a club whose coach was still under contract.
