200+ SAINTS players on the ground !!

[Saint Mik]

You can't expect a bloke to lose his job over it though. Unfortunately, economic realities exist. Plain and simple.

How the hell would he lose his job over it

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.

then save your abuse for after the event, your jumping the gun a little!!!

Yes you are right Solar, BUT going on what was reported they have told organizers that they cant make it and that is nothing short of a disgrace and a embarrasment for the St Kilda F.C

I do hope they are there for the occasion, it makes me feel sick after all that has been done for them by both the club and the player that they cant put a day aside after 20+ years of service from Banger.

[snoopygirl]

Plugger might not owe us or the club anything, but surely he could do it for Harves.

Will be a very emotional day on Sunday.

[bergsone]

Wonder if all ex coaches and presidents will also be in attendance.That would make for a interesting post match piss up



Anyway hope DOC is up to it,none better IMO

I am excited about the game, it will be so emotional to see all these ex saints players showing the honour Banger deserves.

Perhaps this has always been our problem, letting the story of an individual get in the way of the club and team.

Man! Waht a list!!! That would take some co-orinating. Brings back a lot of memories, that's for sure.

[St Chris]

Geez every part of the scale in that list, in terms or what they gave to our club, from Francis and Monkhorst, through to Burke and Loewe.

Some very ordinary players on that list. Wasn't Fred Campbell the next Winmar???

Obviously one on that list very close to st kilda's heart won't be there, maybe Winmar and Lockett should have a think about him before knocking back the invitation.

[Selhurst Saint]

I'ts going to be bloody hard to get into the Social Club after the game.

[saintsRrising]

This is for this Sunday? What are they going to do for his last match then?
I hope it will be a final.

This is his last HOME game though...so the club can do more.


Being a HOME game will also hopefully ensure a good number of Saints fans in the crowd.

[HarveysDeciple]

Of the current players he should get spider, (swans plat at the dome saturday night, surely Spide can just stick around an extra day).

Guerra won't make it as the hawks play in perth that day.

Shane Wakelin(see spider)

Barry Hall(see spider).

[mcadam05]

Was a list in yesterday's Herald-Sun of players the club were still trying to get in touch with - may be worth a look if any posters on here know ex-Saints players.

Could someone please post a link too the list, i cant find it

[joffaboy]

Enough of the abuse of Plugger and Cuz you lot.

None of your business if they cant make it.

Plugger drove all day for Dean greigs testamonial when he lost half his leg, and then drove all the way back to Bowral. All in the one day.

Dont give me this s.hite about disrespecting Harvey. None of you know their relationship and the circumstances.

And dont EVER, EVER knock Cuz. He was a catylst in the aboriginal players being respected as people and brought hatred and bigotry and racism to a head in the AFL.

Cuz was a Saints champ, through and through.

Concentrate on the other 198 if you have to and leave your petty carping about our great champs out of it.

GFod some of you petty cabbages make me want to flaming well puke

[Winmar7Fan]

Winmar and Plugger have turned it down apparently.

NO RESPECT for a club that put both players on the map

GIVE A LITTLE BACK to the great man at least

I agree with the comments but your kidding with this one aren't you . I'd argue it was almost the other way around with what they brought to the club . They would have been picked up by someone else anyway and I'm sure there aren't too many of us that would have preferred another club had the misfortune of getting them.

Barks taking speccies...remember seeing one on my uncle's shoulders at Lakeside Oval
Dean Greig's 40 possession game at Waverly
Jason Daniel's kicking
Greg Burns tucking the ball under one arm and using the other to fend off opponents
My sister screaming everytime Ralphsmith got a touch...

wish I could be at the game to see it. A great thing to do for Harves. Hopefully the team will lift for the occasion and have a memorable win.

[bobmurray]

Amazing when i think that i saw everyone of those players play for the Saints . Some i saw play in the magoo's more often than the seniors but they were teammates nevertheless......

Should be a good day,might have to take the binoculars.....

Right on joffa..........

Just on another part of the players who will be there, I reckon Banger's brother would have been stoked to play a few games with the Great Man.

Hell I (and I reckon every other forumite) would loved to have played only one game with the Great Man.

Gonna be an awesome afternoon. Let's just hope the boys turn the positive energy and emotion into a winning formula at the end of the day.

Shame this thread had to turn into vitriol about those who can't make it.

[saint66au]

Some people just HAVE to have the last word

Well said Joff and TTSF..cant people put their bickering aside for just one measly week??

Agreed Snoops, gonna be a very emotional day..Gawd I just watched OLB's vid on SaintsCentral and got a bit misty....

Oh..and anyone who boos BBBBH and/or Spider within my earshot...just this once..will have me to answer to. If they can make the effort to turn up then we can make the effort not to be stupid

I'm sure Banger will appreciate it

[stinger]

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...

he just might turn up....plugger once told me that banger was the best player he had seen play.....

I hope so Stinger, would be great to see him there. Was an amazing player to watch and was my childhood hero! Banger has long surpassed him, but wouldnt it be nice to see them together again...
