Robert Harvey: I knew I wouldn't be at Collingwood next year

Dual Brownlow medallist Robert Harvey played 383 AFL games for the St. Kilda Saints during a Hall of Fame career. He joins Shane Crawford and Nick Quinn on a special two-part edition of the Inside 50 podcast, which includes a Brownlow medal preview. Harvey shared a locker room with some of the most colourful characters in football during the ’90s and ’00s who also double as greats of the game: Danny ‘Spud’ Frawley, Tony ‘Plugger’ Lockett, and Fraser ‘G-Train’ Gehrig. His best years as a Saint came under Ross Lyon, who Harvey says was the best coach he ever played for and deserves “a couple” of premierships. Earlier this year, Harvey was named head coach of Collingwood Magpies following Nathan Buckley’s decision to step aside from the most polarising position in Australian sports. Harvey led Collingwood to some memorable victories before announcing he would be leaving the club after 10 years, largely as an assistant. Harvey says he will remain involved in football for years to come, and discusses the possibility of pursuing another head coaching role.
