The ULTIMATE trivia post!!!

Last quarter, Round 3 2000 vs Eagles at the dome.

We have kicked a couple of goals to cut the margin to 9pts with about 5 minutes to go.
Stewart Loewe takes the ball out of the ruck and kicks it just forward from the centre bounce. Harvey is running onto the loose ball but has an eagle running straight at him, he cant take posession because he will be tackled, so he soccers the ball off the ground around the player then runs past him gathers, runs to fifty and drills it.

Brilliant skill. And a huge team lifting goal. The best goal he has ever kicked I reckon.

knew I could rely on you for a story HD.

However...where are all the rest of the favourite stories about Harves?

Maybe I'm wrong - he's not as popular as I thought?

Let's hear those stories people.....

PS If you can't remember something, make it up...he's probably done it at some time in his career...

...takes the short kick-in from Frawley, runs down the half back flank, blind turns around ablett, kicks to Andrew Thompson in the centre. Harvey keeps running, collects the handball and lopes into the forward line. Picks out Lockett for the shortpass but he's manned up by three defenders. Sells the dummy to a cat defender, moves to the 50 metre line and kicks over Lockett's head. The ball bounces in the goal square and bounces through. A great goal by the legend, Robert Harvey.

No specific event ... everything he did in that Adelaide final last year was truly inspirational ... he signed the menu at the 1997 Brownlow Medal Dinner for me about 5 minutes before he was announced the winner ... top bloke

I think this deserves a separate thread.

But loved that goal against West Coast in 97

Also '99 v Carlton at the 'g. Seemed to stand in one spot but still managed to evade five bluebaggers.

HarveysDeciple · Wed 10 May 2006 10:57pm

Yeah sainterone probably worthy of its own thread. for people to jot down their favourite banger memories.

..and the winner is (not sydney) HarveysDeciple for that memorable goal v wet toast in 2000.

Ahhh - so many Harvey memories - so few braincells to allocate them to!!!

You're up HD.

Which player set a personal best of 5 goals in Round 11 1996 against Richmond at the MCG.
He was a small player who became a defender for the saints.

OK - looking for some positives out of tonights game...

BJ had 15 marks tonight. His best ever effort.
Who was the last Saint to take 15 or more marks in a game and when?

Post: # 210952Post **n1ck** » Sat 13 May 2006 2:31am

im guessing it would be either Reiwoldt.. against essendon in 2003 ?

or stewie loewe any number of times

I'll guess Riewoldt, in 2004 (arguably at his prime)

Sainterone · Post: # 210954Post **Sainterone** » Sat 13 May 2006 2:33am

Mmmm - you can guess - but I want to know what player / round / year.
I'll give you a hint - not 2005 - that should help.

Sainterone · Post: # 211446Post **Sainterone** » Sat 13 May 2006 8:16pm

Yes battye - near enough - our posts crossed - it was R20 v the kangas.
Rooey took 18 marks, had 18 kicks (and one handball).

Your turn battye.

Cheers

In Nick Dal Santo's second game, he had a chance to win it after the siren.
Answer the following questions

a) What was our ladder position before the game?
b) What was our ladder position after the game?
c) What was our final score?

Sainterone · Post: # 211841Post **Sainterone** » Sun 14 May 2006 8:07pm

R5 2002

We were 15th after R4 and 14th after R5
Saints and swans both scored 8.8

We went on to comfortably take 15th (ahead of the blues) after R22

You're up again

Sainterone · Sun 14 May 2006 10:50pm

Thanks battye.

Seems like there are a few negative posts around which are to be expected after a disappointing loss.

Here's a "negative" Q for you...

Which current Saint has played the most games (for the Saints) and not scored? (at AFL level)

Hint: Max scored a point in his 18th game - not Max.

wish I knew- I have an interesting question if I did.

rexy · Post: # 212586Post **rexy** » Mon 15 May 2006 10:32pm

Sam Fisher

Sainterone · Mon 15 May 2006 10:39pm

Rexy,

Good try but Sam Fisher kicked a behind in his very first game.
Now has 2? goals from his 35 games.

rexy · Post: # 212589Post **rexy** » Mon 15 May 2006 10:41pm

L Fisher

Sainterone · Mon 15 May 2006 10:46pm

Sorry Rexy,

Leigh Fisher kicked a goal in his first match (R18 2003)

rexy · Post: # 212594Post **rexy** » Mon 15 May 2006 10:48pm

M.Ferguson

Sainterone · Mon 15 May 2006 10:54pm

Fergy has played 8 games - a likely candidate - however his only score was a behind (in his first game R12 2003)

Think of someone else who's played about 8 games for the Saints...
