Yes, I agree. Robert Harvey is a great man. He has consistently distinguished himself by his hard work, his fairness, his courage, and his skills. He never stopped running, and that was the model that the next generation of footballers adopted because of him. The way he is SO highly regarded by everyone - our fans, opposition fans, our players, opposition players, TV commentators, umpires... it speaks volumes about the character of the man.
He has inspired a generation of Saints supporters. Thank you Harves.
I hope this modest man can one day look back on his career and truly recognize what a great contribution he made to our club.
Robert, your career has enriched our lives an unspeakable amount.
May the rest of your days be as enriching as you made ours.
STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY.

I agree. I know people like to say that no one person is bigger than the team, but Robert Harvey was such an integral part of the team, and for so long too. The fact that we will never see a legend of the game play another AFL/VFL match again feels really devastating I think

Gee, what a night...was great to see the crowd stay to farewell Harvs, not one single Saint supporter moved from their seat at the end of the game...was great to see. I took my eyes off the ball in the last 5 mn of the game to only follow Harvs, to only follow No35. Couldn't believe that this was the last time I/we were watching him on the MCG, couldn't believe it was over. Wet eyes, empty feeling...
Thanks Harvs, We'll be missing you, thanks for everything you've been giving us...We Love You!

Beautiful words. In all honesty I am more distressed about Roberts retirement than loseing the game. The post match stuff was heart breaking. Love you to death Harves, the greatest ever.

Most disgraceful post tonight and sums up why we may never win the big one.

Sorry if I am sad to see Harves retire. What a dick wit
I cannot believe we will not see the great man play next year! There were Saints supporters around us crying as we watched him chaired from the ground. i just don't think it has sunk in yet that we won't see him play next year!
Thanks for the memories Harves! You will forever be etched in our hearts and our memories. What you have brought to the game and to the St Kilda football club will never be forgotten.
Don't argue with an idiot - people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Sometimes, not often, and not everywhere, but sometimes, even if just for a flickering moment, an individual is greater than the club. Tonight was such a moment. It hurt more to say goodbye to Harvey than to our season. We've seen many seasons slip by all too quickly, but know the time will come again.
We'll never see His like again.
Thank you Robert Harvey!

Good post. Seasons will come and go, Harvey is a once in a lifetime player.
