Harvey has already spent time at another club getting experience.
The $$$ that collingwood can offer will also have made the decision to walk out on St Kilda that little bit easier.

Collingwood's had a few people leave as well if you haven't noticed.
Not unusual that when a club changes senior coach that you also see a clean out of assistant coaches as well.

I'm sure you thought this made sense when you wrote it.
I think the saints have handled the whole Harvey coaching scenario pretty well. not sure what else they could have done.
Strange though, not sure our midfield really wowed under his care this year. Jack Steven emerged, however Dal was probably the only one of the senior guys who had a good year.
Admittedly Lenny wasn't there, but they really struggled in contested ball and clearances for much of the season.
I honestly think youth development is more his go, but good on him for challenging himself and seeing if he can do it.

In my honest opinion, as much as I love Robert Harvey the player, I just don't think he would be the head coach we would be looking for. He lacks the killer instinct and comes across as to friendly and quiet.
Very happy with the Watters appointment, but a bit sad Banger couldnt stay on as at least as an assistant. Lord knows he will be back at the club in some way, shape or form, and I can't wait!

All this says to me is that you didn't see Ratten play much
You are right. And the last Collingwood coach came from StKilda. Nice.
Pretty sure Kernahan said this year Carlton moved him on, amongst others.

Sorry, just to clarify here - are you implying that Ratten the player is in the same league as any of Hird, Harvey, Voss, Buckley?

I would like to go on record and wish Harves the best of luck in his coaching future. I'm sad he's gone, but the right decision has been made for both him and the club.
Thank you for your 20 odd years of loyal service to our club Rob, you are always welcome at St. Kilda. Robert Harvey - Saint for life!!!

Did you ever see Scotty Watters play? Scotty was a fairly easy going player who IMO, didn't quite get the best out of his playing career due to his laid back manner. No doubt he's a very smart coach but to say that Harvey does not have the killer instinct...and hence not quite a senior coach...is just plain wrong. On top of that, for all of Harvey's "niceness", he was ruthless on the ground. One of the most competitive blokes to have played the game.
Loved Ratten as a player and was a Carlton champ but surely no-one in their right minds would have him in the same bracket as Hird and Voss...closely followed by Bucks.
Do you mean bottom 9?
Hope Collingwood know what they are doing. Harvey doesn't seem to be cut out for coaching although at an assistant level he might be ok.
