He was a good footballer, but I never understood how he could be called "the greatest fullback...", for years he barely had an opponent let alone the number 1 key forward.
Funny that he digs the boots into Maxwell, another over-rated loose man in defence...
It does not show him shaking hands
I agree. I have no idea what others are on about.
It's pretty clear chook - have another look @ 15:05
Their hands are out of frame, but it's pretty obvious they shake hands on approach…

I have watched that part over about 3 times and it does not show that they shook hands... I think banger was shaking hands of other players around him...
yep...he clearly refused to shake that creep's hand.....
Never said he clearly refused.... just said it did not show they shook hands. Upon looking at the other link they did shake hands in the lead-up
Devils advocate here..but why must players feel the need to sledge players about family issues??
Harves was a renowned sledger...and if..and I do say IF... he had a crack at Bartel about his estranged father..then IMO he might have crossed the line a little
Doesnt excuse Scarlett being a complete tool but surely players can keep their sledges to on-field stuff?
The Dermie "anything goes its a mans game" theory is just bogan silly IMO

Gawd I wish you'd read peoples posts properly before going off all huffy
First..I said IF he said it..Scarlett might have made it up who knows..theres also reports it was said by a nearby player and Scarlett thought it was Banger
Also..I said it doesnt excuse Scarlett acting like a tool..IF Banger said it then Im sure Bartels a big boy and can defend himself without mouthy Matthew flying the flag.
Finally, yes, Banger was a sledger..(so is Lenny so is Roo) its well documented he liked a bit of a chip on field..I have no problem with that. He once told Shane Crawford to "get a good look at my arse cos you'll be following it around all day"..then followed it up with 40 touches to Crawfs 15. Thats funny. Sledging a bloke about his estranged Dad when he admitted publicly it upset him is crossing the line IMO....no matter who said it.

If that's what he said, then he's just being an arrogant dick and there's no need for that s***, I wouldn't have a bar of it either, he's just being a smart ass.
The funny thing is Scarlett says he lets what happens on the field stays on the field? Well he is writing a bloody book about it the hypocritical flog!
When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

harves was 100% a fierce sledger ... and in my opinion he is welcome to it .. my thought is if you talk the talk then walk the walk and harves walked the walk ... as for Scarlett really couldnt care less what he said to banger end of the day winners are grinners and the losers suit themselves ...

Who is obviously trying to create controversy to promote his book.
my thoughts exactly when I read it. he is a blunt tool.

have to agree. nice teams finish last...
Aust Cricket team were the biggest sledges of all time and coupled (can't think of a better word) with their talent, it's what made them intimidating.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.
Scarlett has seemed to consolidate himself even more as being one of the most miserable turds to have played the game.
You'd think playing in three premierships would make one look back mainly on the high points of their career, wouldn't you? But not for that utter creep who is The Scarlett Pimple.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!
Harvs did shake his hand...... then Scarlett said something that obviously upset Banger...... whatever it was, it pissed Harvs off big time....the Cats had just won, Scarlet was being a very,very poor winner..........I've disliked the man ever since.
