Interesting to note that the next St Kilda coach will come from Collingwood.
Harvey will do what so many others have done, he will spend 2-3 season around the likes of Eade, Buckley, Hine and Buittifant and then he will return to St Kilda as their next senior coach, after they implode once again and Watters is given the flick.
I welcome Robert to Collingwood (cmon we all know it's going to happen), we need a midfield coach, and he is simply put, one of the greatest midfielders of all time.

That's how I felt/feel about Mark Harvey.
Jumped before the inevitable fall from grace!
Smart move by both Rob Harvey & Steven King!

Based on what? When has he sooked previously?
You obviously didn't read the article either where Harvey said he wasn't bitter at St Kilda and that he wanted to build his experience elsewhere to help him become a senior coach. Doesn't sound like sooking to me.
Seems to me that Harvey was essentially told that if he wants to be a senior coach, he needs to get more experience, so that's exactly what he's done. I think the "sooking" bit might be a beat up.

Some people will read only the lines they desire, so as to give them sniping ammo.
Really those who cannot even pass a basic comprehension test, or who have read nothing bu the headline do not have an opinion worth responding to.
Bit harsh. Harvey was an out and out gun. Ratten wasn't quite the same level as the 3 you mention IMO, but he got the gig. Sometimes it's just timing or a bit of luck. Saints didn't think he was what they were after. He's gone to get more experience to improve his chances. Good luck to him and the Saints.

From the outside it certainly looks that way.
Read what he said before you bag him.
"I met with Scott Watters earlier this week and can see why the club appointed him head coach, he is an excellent choice,” Harvey said.
“The interview process was very robust, something I support wholeheartedly, and I’m certainly better for the experience.
“My decision to leave the St Kilda Football Club was a difficult one. I have a great love for the club and a strong desire to one day return to the club in the future.”
“I believe my coaching development will be best served in a different environment where I can continue to gain the skills required to become a senior coach.”
Or he's doing the intelligent thing and getting experience before starting a head coaching career.
Also 2 Brownlows > 1 Brownlow
A truly great player but he came from the era when the Saints players controlled the club....and now it is the club that has control
Watch much footy before the year 2000??

yep smart move by king imo, bulldogs are rising from the ashes to be in premiership contention next year.
Voss is a failure so far, seems to have no ability to manage players
Hird hasn't had the balls to cut the rubbish from his list that will never take the club anywhere
Bucks has only managed the civilised removal of MM
Harvey is doing the smart thing and seeking education elsewhere. Would love him at WC.

Brownlows aren't a good judgment. By your logic, Woewodin = Hird/Buckley/Voss
Sounds about it to me. First reaction was it sounds like a little bit of a sook, but I suspect it was a reality check too, most of the time teams are going to want someone with wider experence, I think he's doing the right thing.
