So what DID Scarlett say to Harves after last year's final?
While I respect the Cats, I never liked their style off the field. Goes back to G. Ablett clocking a young Nathan Burke in the Semi in 91 and Pretty Perm Hocking gutlessly wiping out Harves at 3/4 qtr time at Pussy Park in 96 when the great man was simply walking off the ground. Harves reaction to Scarletts sledge after last years Qualifying Final was so uncharacteristic of Sir Robert, yet it was quickly swept under the carpet. Time to maintain the rage, Does anyone know what was said?

Sorry to burst bubbles, but I was told our man Harvey was the one who instigated the argument having spent a significant portion of the afternoon yelling abuse at whatever Geelong player was within earshot...As he should I might add!
Scarlett may well have said 'you'll never win a flag, old man', but when read in the context of Harvey's alleged behaviour, what had occurred in '07, and the fact that Harvey in the end did not win a premiership, I'd suggest it was a pretty decent sledge.
Harvey was no shrinking violet...
And he did go to Carlton...
I think the earlier incidents (Burke '91, Harvey '96) are probably more substantive historical motivational tools.

Players sledging each other. Wacko!!
I'm sure our boys would never do anything as dastardly as that!!
I would have thought that the fact most of the Geelong players now have premiership medallions and they don't would be more than enough motivation for the likes of Roo, Kosi, Milne, Dal, Lenny, Ball, Joey, Sam F, Bakes, Max, Blake and etc.

It was low enough for his Geelong teammates to go and try and get him away and others to apparently run up to Harves and apoplogize.kaos theory wrote:thinline - Point is that scarlett initiated the abuse AFTER the game finished.
All is fair in the heat of the battle, BUT once the game ends, you are supposed to shake hands, leave it on the field, and move on.
If the dog scarlett hurled abuse at harvs after the siren, than that's a low act.

Actually I dont belive that.Thinline wrote:Sorry to burst bubbles, but I was told our man Harvey was the one who instigated the argument having spent a significant portion of the afternoon yelling abuse at whatever Geelong player was within earshot...As he should I might add!
The most acurate story ive heard is that Scarlett and some other Cats were upset that Harvey attempted to tackle Brent Prismall after he had done his knee and was on the ground.
Having seen the footage Harvey would have been totally unaware that Prismall was injured and was only trying to apply pressure to an opponent. But dont ever let the truth get in the way of a good story eh?

what a load of shiite.
all is fair? absolutely anything? and you just drop it and shake the guys hand at the end of the game?
that's ridiculous.. if it gets personal, then I wouldn't wanna touch the hand of some complete tosser. don't sook about it of course, and sledging is fine, but you don't have to shake the hand of someone who you don't respect and think is a very average human being.
for instance, when greg stafford sunk his knees into one of our players a few years back, i wouldn't have shook his hand after the game.

I remember Billy Brownless saying that his understanding was that Scarlett had said to Harvey "you wont be playing us again this year", pretty much what everyone thought he said. But Harvey's response was something along the lines of "you're all so arrogant, you wont win the grand final anyway".
A pretty even sledge really, though history shows that Scarlet ended up with a bit more egg on his face at the end of it all!
