200+ SAINTS players on the ground !!
As part of the tribute to ROBERT HARVEY on Sunday, there will be 200+ past & present St Kilda players who play/ed with ROBERT HARVEY forming a "Guard of Honour" on the ground for the GREAT MAN.
Apart from the emotion of it all, HOW GOOD WILL THE PHOTOS BE?
This will be the very first time such a tribute is paid to any player in the AFL. It will be an electric atmosphere. I wouldn't miss it for anything. GO SAINTS !!

This is our last HOME game for the year and it would be a pretty big logistical exercise to get all those players there. The club would have been working pretty hard to make it hapen. Finals would be a lot trickier as it is not known when or where we are playing or at what point we exit the finals race !!borderbarry wrote:This is for this Sunday? What are they going to do for his last match then?
I hope it will be a final.

Plugger not turning up? I hope he does, would be nice for Harves to have him there whatever the big man might think about the Saints. Always wondered why he wants nothing to do with us post his departure, was never that acrimonious a parting was it?
What a great day it will be on Sunday...so glad we are honouring Harves in this way...will be sad to see our greatest champion bow out this year....wish he had gone one more year!
I will be there as always...

Re: 100+ SAINTS players on the ground !!
it's a special day for st kilda and i just hope we do our "living treasure" justice and that every time harvs gets a touch the roar of his fans will lift the roof off telstra dome.
make those croweaters wish they'd never made the trip across.
we haven't been able to give harvs the top four finish he deserves, but we're still in there with a good chance of featuring in september.
i wouldn't rule out us doing a bit of damage if we get there, either.
i remember melbourne launching a run at the big one from nowhere in the late 1980s on the back of their champion robert flower's impending retirement.
the emotion of the occasion just seemed to drive them beyond what they were capable of, though they did end up being thumped in the grand final by hawthorn.

If only the true legends of our great club would be there.
You would need to drag Cuz and Plugger to the game which is just not good enough.
Plugger may we remind you that we are talking of player that gave you how many deliveries lace out.
And Cuz just get your arse there I'm sure the club will fit the bill for you.
The clubs true culture shines through when it comes to things like this
I take it all back if they are coming as I have not heard anything about it, but going on form they wont be there.

Let's NOT let the negatives interfere with what is going to be a GREAT DAY for ROBERT HARVEY & A GREAT DAY FOR St KILDA FOOTBALL CLUB. Spud has stated that he hadn't given up on either just yet.
Lets just enjoy the day and show the footy world once again that;
NO-ONE DOES THESE THINGS BETTER THAN St KLIDA !!

Through the late 80 and early 90's Plugger was everything down at St Kilda. It is so incredibly disappointing that he makes no effort whatsoever to put anything back into the club that made him a superstar.
I will hold back my real feelings on the guy in the hope he turns up...but his record is very average...what is his beef with the Saints that he makes no effort??

It is these negatives that show what a great St Kilda man Harves actually is...as opposed to those like Plugger.Eastern wrote:Let's NOT let the negatives interfere with what is going to be a GREAT DAY for ROBERT HARVEY & A GREAT DAY FOR St KILDA FOOTBALL CLUB.

I would love to see the face on Banger with his old teamates especially the ones HE respects so much.
The fact is the bloke deserves better than sorry cant make it

Cuz would come if the club organized it, I know this because I have dealt with him before and know the way he thinks, just need someone from the club to go and get him and drag his arse to the game before he realized what it would mean

Would it matter if someone with the surname Fox was trying to (read: paying for) get these guys here for the event? !!Saint Mik wrote:

Like i said you would need to go and grab him, he would not come over on his own EVEN if the tickets were paid for by Banger himself.Eastern wrote:Would it matter if someone with the surname Fox was trying to (read: paying for) get these guys here for the event? !!Saint Mik wrote:

The only way he would be there is if someone goes and gets him, and you would not buy his ticket unless that was the situation, not going to go into it any further.
He would be there though if this did happen, it wil just depend on what the club wants to do, unfortunatley like others have said you cant look after them forever BUT this is a once off occasion that is worth every cent and time spent on getting CUZ to the game IMO.

agree with eastern, lets focus on the positives of the event
I think this is a wonder idea and agree that it will be an awesome photo

Just another St Kilda supporter excuse IMO
Its simple really and doesnt need to be put out of context, if the club wants him there he will be there end of story, they know what they need to do to get him out on the ground this week for Banger it will just depend on what they want to do.
Its been done before and should be done again IMO, just go and get him and be done with it.
Just think it would be very fitting to a very specail person and career, its nothing short of a disgrace telling the people involved that you wont be there, PLUGGER is a disgrace when it comes to supporting the St Kilda football club and should be there.

Unsure about the abuse towards plugger. Always was a private man,hated the spotlight,now some seem suprised?
The club would of went under if it wasn't for him dragging people back through the gates in the mid/late 80's.
He owes us nothing,love too see him there sunday though,but can't see it
