ROBERT HARVEY ACCEPTS COACHING ROLE AT CARLTON
St Kilda legend Robert Harvey has accepted a coaching role with Carlton for the 2009 AFL season.
The 383 game champion retired this year after a career spanning three decades at the Saints in which he collected a pair of Brownlow Medals, four Best & Fairests and eight All-Australian selections among a plethora of other honours, cementing his place among the game’s all-time greats.
St Kilda CEO Archie Fraser said, “It is with a heavy heart but excitement and optimism for Robert that he becomes a Development Coach at Carlton from next season.
“Harvs will always be a favourite son of the Saints and while we did offer Robert a full time position at the Club next year, he decided to expand his experiences outside the Club after 21 outstanding years at the Saints. We wish him every success in his new role.â€

VETERAN SAINT NOW A BLUE
Friday, October 10th, 2008 at 3:24 pmBY ANDREW LOWTHER
JUST weeks after he retired a St Kilda champion, Robert Harvey has begun his new football life by signing a contract that will see him in the navy blue next season.
Harvey, 37, will join Carlton as the Blues’ new development coach in 2009.
The appointment means the 383-game, two-time Brownlow medallist has snubbed St Kilda’s offer of a full-time coaching role at their club.
The Saints, however, have been quick to wish Harvey well in his new role.

He's given this club so much, if he opted to become Satan's assistant for Hell FC, I'd have given him my blessing.
All the best Harves. Hopefully you can learn some tricks and grow into a tremendous off-field type...before coming back.
For all of you going to have a crack at him, don't forget, SOS is our defensive coach![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

This of you who reckon that our favourite son should not be going to Carlton just stop and think... We've had Carlton's favourite son at St Kilda for 2 years now!!
Good luck Rob, you've earned the right to do whatever you want to in footy - I hope you enjoy every success at Carlton - just not against us!

Yeah, but Harvs is going in to the Blues matrix, SOS took the other pill and now fights for good. I'd have preferred he took a job at Collingwood!FortiusQuoFidelius wrote:This of you who reckon that our favourite son should not be going to Carlton just stop and think...

SOS screwed his club by taking under-the-table payments and then ratting on them.
Please don't compare him to Robert Harvey.

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.
Word of advice: Do not turn your back on him. He will forever be known as perhaps the greatest Saints player ever to pull on a cross, so the fact that he has chosen to further his career at Carlton doesn't change that fact.
BTW, whenever you're done with SOS, we'll take him back.

good luck to him. won't hurt him to look outside of st kilda for a while if he wishes to further his football experience.
he'll bring honesty and incorruptability to carlton ... a foreign concept to them.
