Interim Collingwood coach Robert Harvey remains hopeful that he will be considered for the main job on a full-time basis, despite the fact he has led the Magpies to just two wins since taking over from Nathan Buckley in the middle of the season.

It remains a mystery who will be Buckley's successor at the Pies, but Harvey insists he wants to be included in possible suitors for the full-time position.

"I will let the dust settle and then talk to ‘Wrighty’ (Collingwood footy boss Graham Wright) and the powers to be tomorrow," Harvey said.

"I am not sure where all that will sit, but I have learnt a lot in this job and there were some real positives to take out of it."

Harvey believes the future of the Magpies is bright and thinks it won't be long before the club is featuring in September again.

"We have got some positive steps going forward with a good young group," Harvey said.

"We would have liked to have pinched a few more games, but there are some real positives coming through.

"The supporters and the members should be really excited about the future here.

"There is some real excitement in our youngsters and our leaders are really driven to take this place forward."
