It will be a sad, sad day but inevitably it is going to happen. We have all just taken for granted that the great man can go on for ever & in my dreams he will. Robert Harvey is an enigma, he is a once in a lifetime experience & fortunaley for us we have been privileged to witness his proess not just by the way he plays the game but his humility off the field as well. He is an out & out legend of the game, not just to St.Kilda supporters but the football public as a whole. As I write this post it brings a lump to my throat & to imagine a St.Kilda side without him being part of it seems unthinkable. He has given & given with the faint hope that maybe the fairytale is still reachable . You can probably blame injuries at crucial times, maybe even umpires but to see this champion of the St.Kilda faithful retire without what is rightfully "his" hurts like hell.

"Our season is still alive," Lyon said. "It's not the end for Robert."
Harvey's mates stood listening to those words, perhaps planning to keep the AFL's longest career lingering a while yet. Then turned into softcocks and blew it YET again.

this week will be the biggest test for us. if we can beat collingwood convincingly, from start to finish, we may just have the right momentum to carry us over to perth (even though colly will be severly undermanned- no didak, no shaws, no o'bree?).desertsaint wrote:Players need to show respect by making sure the next seven games they play will be the best of their lives!
That's 28 hard-at-it quarters saints (ooh, sounds much harder that way)
(14-8 should take 4th)
the last four games of the season will make or break us and determine whether we will do any damage in hte finale. hopefully we cna re-capture some of that confidence we had a few weeks ago and start playing for each other again and for the team. only loosing by 9 points last time, this will definately be a huge test.

if his last game does (unfortunately) happen to be interstate, i would hope the club would organise something at moorabin...SOMETHING at least...so the supporters can come profess their undying love for the man.
i really hope that happens.
he is one footy player that deserves the biggest send-off.
no doubt he will have much less fanfare than that of james hird who let his retirement parade go on for weeks on end with endless pages of the paper dedicated to it.
anyone else highly doubt that will be the case for harvs?
and he deserves it much more IMO.

doubt he would be saying it on the footy show. doesn't seem like him to announce it via the footy showsaint patrick wrote:Work with a friend of the family... strong mail of imminent official announcement[may'be this week's footy show] that 08 will be his swansong.....![]()
Just another reason to win this week and book a september tribute to the man

the story is growing legs this morning- morning radio- of the highest rumour suggests it may be today
Suggestion; may be a book at moorabbin and then every game where people can express their best wishes
would imagine an on line version possible?

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

If this is all true - and its fast becoming more evident that it is.....
there will be more grown men, women and children crying in the streets since, well.....you would know the answer to that.
Bye Bye Mr StKilda Goodbye.....Robert Harvey you are STKILDA!
To the rest of ya - FIRE THE DAMN UP AND PLAY LIKE YOUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT...DO NOT GIVE UP, DO NOT STOP RUNNING, DO NOT GIVE IN...to do so would be the greatest disrespect to our jumper & OUR GREATEST CHAMPION!

Well we all know that inevitable.
I just heard Harves speech announcing his retirement in StKilda's last game this year.
There is still hope it could be the ultimate !
I found it typical of the man he said he might just keep showing up to pre season training because he loves that part so much !
Harves always trained himself. Didn't need much motivation.
Let's all get behind him and get to every one of his last games.
