Harvey
How good was Harves tonight? Seriously it breaks my heart to think we let him down all the time. Easily St Kilda's greatest player ever. A privilege to watch him play, enjoy you Melbourne people, don't take it for granted.

Ah, Beverley, we were there when he started (and before). It has been, and continues to be, a joy.
But, bugger me, why is he having to keep us alive in games, still? Why can't the junior burgers run out a game? And why in the freak can't blokes like Milne convert the old man's late work (which would have given us a real chance, BTW)?
A joy. A sad, sad joy.

This post just rings so true as to what we all think about Harvey! The bloke tries his guts out, week after week, month after month year after year!! Can we dig just a little bit deeper??? Can we swallow some of the doubt and just believe we can do something to give this champion EVEN one last sniff of what it would be like to win this club such a friggin elusive flag???? FFS DIG!!!!! AND DIG DEEP!!! ( To Collingwood, of all the horrible fricken teams!!!!! Grrrrrr I HATE THEM!!!!)
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!
When Harv's took that mark in the forward line late in that game you could read his thought process after he took the mark.
It was like "F*** it, I'm going to go back and kick this" and he did.
I was hoping that level of determination was going to rub off on some of his team-mates.
Sadly it didn't and even sadder is we have very few players that come close to his level of determination.

Okay, I've finally made 1000 posts and there's no better subject to discuss than Robert Harvey.Saint Bev wrote:How good was Harves tonight?

There simply aren't enough superlatives to describe Robert Harvey.
I wish the players on our list would realise just how lucky they are to be playing along the greatest ever footballer..
That's right, I said 'GREATEST EVER FOOTBALLER' and I'd challenge any 'expert' to prove me wrong.

Robert Harvey..perhaps the most humble champion you could come across.
Robert Harvey..FAIREST & BEST doesn't begin to describe not only his talent; but also the WAY he plays football.
Robert Harvey..never complains about umpires, conditions, or opposition tactics.
Robert Harvey..just motors on!..and on...and on... and on!! He is the Human 'Energiser Bunny'!!
Robert Harvey..without doubt the greatest example of what a footballer should be.
If everyone in the league aspired to play football like Robert Harvey, you'd have an amazing competition.
There'd be no need for Umpires because the players could govern the game themselves!!
Robert Harvey has to stay on until Connor gets drafted.

That is exactly right. Watch him train compared to the majority of the other players and it is obvious they haven't got the passion to be the very best they can in their chosen careers. Harvey is still and always has been the hardest trainer at the club and it is very disappointing that apart from Hayes, Ball & Riewoldt, no other player comes close to his level of effort/preparation and the guy is 37 years old! Truly inspiring to all us supporters and just about all from the opposition teams, yet so few at our club take a 'leaf out of the great man's book' as to what it actually takes to take the club to the top. Harvey continues on pushing his body well after the others have had enough.JeffDunne wrote:When Harv's took that mark in the forward line late in that game you could read his thought process after he took the mark.

I have said it before and will say it again, watch the gut wrenching effort the great man puts in when he trains and then, for example, watch the effort the two Clarkes put in. From that alone, you can see why these two have done bugger all in their careers to date.

It's a bit odd to say but you wouldnt expect anything less from banger and for the millionth time i was just sitting there with my mouth open and muttering somethng like the bloke he beat was a fraction of his age.
Come on banger keep going. We love you.
