Thanks but we don't need any lectures from Carlton scum on loyalty.TheBabyBlues wrote:Word of advice: Do not turn your back on him.

I have read a few posts over at Talking Carlton a few days ago and whilst the majority hold him in high regard, there were a couple of clowns that mentioned that they weren't too keen on getting him...TheBabyBlues wrote:
I know how highly reguarded Sir Robert is held around here (just look at the avatars) and i know how much you guys hate Carlton, so this must be a huge punch in the guts for ya.
Having said that, i think most people have handled it pretty well.
You wont find many Carlton people complaining about the appointment.

BTW, whenever you're done with SOS, we'll take him back.
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
Yep...TheBabyBlues wrote:There will always be the black sheep of any group, but as you stated the majority of them were FOR the (suggested) appointment.
Wonder if he can bring with him any inside info...he should know you guys inside/out after 21 years.
BTW, is his book out yet?

honestly i love bangers as much as the next guy but what makes you think he is some kind of super coach who will make the blues perform at their peek ?? bangers has been round mentoring our younge guys for the last 10 years but hasnt got them to lift what says he will get carlton too ???mick13 wrote:Crap, one of the best to ever play teaching Carlton's midfield...of Gibbs, Murphy, Judd...
Oh dear. Saints win a flag before these guys really get going...only a matter of time now with Harves on board.
He is only a part time development coach mate...derby Street wrote:Great players don't always make great coaches.

You're always going to get a couple who can't see past club loyalties.St Fidelius wrote:I have read a few posts over at Talking Carlton a few days ago and whilst the majority hold him in high regard, there were a couple of clowns that mentioned that they weren't too keen on getting him...TheBabyBlues wrote:

I recall something like in 21 years he never won a premiership what can he teach us and will not be a good choice...
Another positive poster suggested that he can teach the kids a Carlton his evasive skills and in reply to that a poster suggested that he didn't teach that to any at St Kilda, so why now??
There are some smart asses over there, but overall I feel most would acknowledge him for the champion he is both on and off the field
honestly do you reckon banger would give anything less than 100%?3rd generation saint wrote:Just hope he has gone there as an under cover agent to de stabilise the place and do some inside damage.
But, good luck Harv's, it does hurt that you're going to Carlton, any other player would have attracted my wraith.

I'm absolutely delighted to have Harvs on board at Carlton. Our developing players can only learn from his professional attitude and approach to the game.
Hopefully for Saints fans it'll be a learning curve on both sides and he ends up back at St Kilda in a few years with a different perspective on how other clubs operate. Doesn't always happen, but either way he'll always be one of yours.

Dunno.
