The club would know there would be speculation, so why not just issue a media release saying that Saints games record-holder Robert Harvey will announce his retirement at a press conference tomorrow?
It's not like you're letting the cat out of the bag, news media will speculate anyway.
I think he will announce, James Hird style, that 2008 will be his final season.

"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

The jornos once they founf out ...did not nominate fro GF retired players
parade.......
came to a conclusion he would play on based on his non -appearence
If you went by his speech at testimonial HE was going to retire this year
he was 90-95%
The fact he did not prior to last game meant he was still unsure or just wanted to aviod a HIRD lkie send off.
I hope it is to announce that 2008 will be his last year to get the HIRD type send off
but that is from a selfish point of view.....may I say the same for all sainters.
The press probably driving him and his manager mad today.....
flushed him out either way
lets hope it is to continue.

I am running on a platform of all board members to be pissed as chooks at all St.Kilda functions, and free recreational and/or performance enhancing drugs to all players officials and supporters.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:heck where do we send our proxys ??Mr Magic wrote:Joffaboy, You sure he's not joining you, as a current player, on your alternate ticket?joffaboy wrote:He is going to have to retire someday.
If it is tomorrow - well the club will march on and say thanks to the great champion.
I will fund the new spending by selling the city of Cranbourne to the highest (and if it is a club function, that will be all of us) bidder.
I will also canvas all King St nightclubs and lapdancing bars to get onboard as our new sponsors and have Kevin07 as our new patron and No.1 ticket holder.
I will submit all my costing to Andrew Demetriou only on the proviso that he
a) gets on the hootch
b) the winner of the St.Kilda raffle gets one free punch to the face of Adrian Anderson.
Slogan - Get on board for the ride of your life with the new messiah, or burn (kinda catchy I reckon).
To unify the club. I will ask Grant Thomas back as assistant coach to Ross Lyon.
Ross can take credit for any win and Thommo can take responsibility for all losses.
Sounds a goer to me.
Send proxies to either me or Nathan Burke (I am really Greg Westaway)

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I'm in on all that joffa! That is a big goer.
The platform ideas that swung me were:
1. punching Adrian Anderson
2. buying Cranbourne so I can evict crannypete
3. punching Adrian Anderson
4. No Rod Butterss mentioned
5. Performance enhancing drugs - god knows I need them!
6. did I mention Adrian Anderson?

It would be vintage Harvey if this was the case though. I'm also getting bad vibes about this, I really hope that I'm wrong.Hmm, its odd for Harvey to say he will not be in the retirees parade on grand final day. And now he is holding a press conference? Very odd for him to go to the measure of holding a press conference but not wanting to be in the thing where they get a farewell at the MCG.

Announcing that it is his final season is far from selfish
Allows the club to trade for 2009 and beyond in the knowledge he will not be there
Allows fans to come to terms with his retirement and to make the effort to get to games in 2008
Boosts 2008 membership
Spurs the playing group on to put in a big pre-season ... because 2008 is the big one
My gut tells me he is going on

Pray it isn't true.
Club is always bigger than the player ... Harvs would be the first to tell you that
West Coast fans would be the second

Initial reaction was that he's announcing he's playing on.
Feature article: KFC's "Double Down" burger!

When did Hird / Archer announce that 2007 would be their last? I kinda thought it was after Pre-season training had started. It seems very early to be making the "playing on" call..and not Harvs style. A word to RL and the team then a press release has done him in the past.
I pray that he's just putting the rumour mill to rest and saying that hes up for one more but just one more...but..like a few on here..I have a real feeling that he might be hanging up the boots.
