Collingwood congratulates Harvey
The Collingwood Football Club congratulates Midfield Coach Robert Harvey ahead of his induction into the St Kilda Football Club's Hall of Fame on Saturday night.
Harvey, who has been an assistant to Nathan Buckley since November 2011, played 383 senior games and kicked 215 goals in his storied 21 year career at Moorabbin between 1988 and 2008.
He was a member of the St Kilda team that lost to Adelaide in 1997, the same year he received the first of back-to-back Brownlow Medals.
Harvey also earned eight All-Australian selections, four club best and fairests and three E.J. Whitten Medal when representing Victoria.
Collingwood congratulates Harvey on his achievement, which comes in the year that St Kilda celebrates its 140th birthday and follows his induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame last year.
