There's been a bit of talk lately about StK hiring former club star Robert Harvey. And while fans might see that as a positive move amongst all the chaos and drama, I advise against it.
My reason is simple: Harvey is currently the number 2 at Collingwood. I've addressed the idea of club culture in previous posts, and if there's one culture I don't want to see at StK, it's the culture they've established at Collingwood.
The Pies have certainly had success over the years, but there's just something about that club the turns my stomach. They're jerks. Just as I loathe the Yankees in every way possible, the Maggies make me root for whomever is opposing them. If there is a coach who absolutely oozes with jerk-juice, it's Buckley. Malthouse was not much better. They scream obscenities at the slightest mistake on the field, often taking their anger out on the poor booth phone. Call me unfair, but there is just nothing I like about anything that Collingwood represents.
And I don't see any value in bringing in a coach who comes from that dark, toxic place.
