And an absolute LEGEND

Was he holding St. Kilda back? Must be spewing he didn't go around another year.

Others have said it before - Harvey gave them the right example to follow, but instead of folllowing the example, they relied on him to do it almost alone.

That might have continued, so his retirement may well have been the best thing to happen to the club recently.

Just a damn shame that that's how it is. He should be in a team that is finally doing what they should have done years ago. He probably should be Captain!

That's Robert Harvey - doing the team thing rather than going for individual glory!

I don't think he'll even almost be spewing.
