Got an e-mail about it

Harvey, Lyon, Hayes and new Executive General Manager of Football Geoff Walsh will all commence their news roles on 1 November.

Big month coming up!

 

[Veer Right]

Is he is going to be the forwards coach?

Which one's doing the sport and which one's doing the weather?

 

[NarklesHelmet]

Favourite ever Saints player for me and probably many of you.

He IS St Kilda.

Will feel right if he’s on the coaching staff when we finally win one.

Welcome home Banger.

I have been calling for a stronger Saints presence on our coaching panel for some time, finally got what I wanted. Harvey and Hayes.
Perfect.

Perfect.

You certainly were calling for that barry...........have read so many of yr posts calling for it.

I always thought..."nah.....never going to happen"

It's happened.

 

[Squirtles]

If you want a laugh read the Hawks board went from best pick up to worst ever very quickly

Perfect.

You would have to say Lyon is a Saints man.

Just need Stevie Baker as a runner and it’s complete.

 

[Hubnester]

Having Hayes and now Harvey back where they belong is something special. Well done Saints.

 

[Saints4ever]

Ross the Alpha with Harvey the tactician in the background I love it.
Absolutely love Harves but when he talks I always feel he lacks that alpha confidence to be a head coach. This vibe could be completely wrong.
Absolutely love the appointment as assistant.
2023 so much to look forward to.

Welcome home Banger.

Easily my favourite
Lenny a very close second

All
In

 

[Remboy]

We just need to get Plugger back as goal kicking coach and we’ll have everything.

 

[Diehard Saint]

As Eddie would say…

“What a big week it’s been in football!”

 

[Kildonan]

Yeah, I'm not fond of this talk of alphas etc.

The thing about Robert Harvey is his determination. He achieves through hard work and natural talent.
When he talks, he doesn't have to shout - everyone is listening.

I love that he has come back to the Saints. This is an epic recruitment, we will hugely benefit from his experience and input.

 

[Present Not Past]

I feel this all about achieving St Kilda their next flag. We'll know next season which current players are prepared to do the hard yards demanded by these new coaches and achieve that goal, or who needs to be traded out or delisted at the end of the year.
A very interesting year ahead.

 

[UnfinishedBusiness]

Does anyone have more info on his year at the Hawks? I know they’re a rabble right now but it seems this was a very quick turnaround for him. Especially after he’s unsuccessfully pitched for head coach here. I’m happy with the appointment just feel like something more to the story than we’ve heard

I think you're right. It's why I never wanted Harvey to be head coach. However he has been around a long time as assistant.

 

[Schwarzes_Goal]

“I grew up at St Kilda, so to now have the opportunity to help others do the same and hopefully play a role in bringing success to the league’s best fans, I cannot wait to get started.”
❤

 

[Saints43]

Has every appointment used the phrase "league’s best fans" ?
They're right of course.
