Harvey equals another record

When Harves steps on to Carrara he equals Paul Salmon's record of most number of different grounds played on by an AFL footballer. I think it's 21.

i would have thought he had played there already....

No, he's never played there.

There was a thread about the grounds Harves has played on some time ago.

IIRC from that thread, Harves didn't play in the Saints teams that played the Brisbane Bears at Carara?

Going by todays Courier Mail
Banger played the Bears up here in 1989 in the seconds

But given the record is for 'most grounds played on by a plyer in VFL/AFL' any reserves matches wouldn't count.

It would be similar to including Casey, Port Melbourne, Sandringham, Bendigo etc for today's Victorian players and WAFL/SANFL grounds for WA/SA based players.

that'd be about right, the bears were a seconds side back then

I'm waiting for Harvs to break the first ever father to play with thier son in the comp!!

Seriously, with the form Harvs has shown this season he could easily go on in 09! But naturally I can't feel what the great man feels in the way of his own physical well-being. He can't go on forever- even though he appears he could! A top 5 player virtually every week! I could understand him retiring if he wasn't continually in that mix!!....but he is!

teh bears? I forget

91 was more important because we played Geelong in the final, and Locket and fatty finn had a shootout.

ablett got rubbed out for dropping david grant and nathan burke (for those who remember grant, he was an OUTSTANDING defender, think Voss + marking), opening up our defence and allowing bargeass more access to teh ball.

we found it impossible to stop their flow when grant got poleaxed.

I think folks look back and plugger, winmar, and a young loewe, and forget how good david grant and spud brawley frawley were, even russell morris had two outstanding seasons as an attacking CHB based on teh grunt work of spud and grant behind him.

you'd see grant man up to guys 4inch 5 inches taller than him, and out mark them.

Yes, i think so.

Wasn't that the last reserves flag ever held or am i totally mistaken ?
I'm pretty sure the bears won the last one.

yep....great post....saddened to think about that game and what might have been...also saddened that that arsewipe killer is still allowed to mix with decent folk.....

the more i see and hear of banger ..the more i'm convinced that he is our greatest player...bar none.......none of the others would be still getting bog's at 36 years of age.....

IIRC the last Reserves flag was won by Essendon in 1999...v St KIlda with the Essendon side containing one S Milne.

Just on strange grounds...we noticed Big Ben out very early pre-game getting a look at the TD surface..probably has never set foot on it as he didnt play NAB Cup and we dont train there

Gee...very weird for Banger running out onto a ground for the first time..last time would have been....?
