Robert Harvey will line up for his 21st league season

Postby the joker » Thu Sep 20, 2007 1:26 pm

The 359-game veteran said his love for the game and pursuit of a premiership were the motivating factors behind his decision.

At 36, Harvey is the AFL’s oldest player. He is confident his body can stand up to the rigours of the modern game.

Despite being hampered by hamstring problems this year, Harvey, played 19 games and is expected to poll well in the Saints’ best and fairest award.

Great news.
One of few St Kilda players who commands and deserves respect!
Like Hird and Bucks, he's still at the top of his game after so many seasons. Outstanding.

Well done to Harvs, great player, one would think that St Kilda will manage him well next year and playing him on and off the bench as an impact player, if they do that they should get a full season out of him. As for staying there for one more year for a chance of a premiership I think he is dreaming

He's already done that.

Absolute champion. Hope he has a good year and hasn't made a mistake playing on. Unlikely that Robert Harvey would make a mistake like that though.
