I Hope We Haven't Seen The Last Of This Legend.
Robert Harvey is the cousin of one of my cousins (by marriage / he and I were both at the wedding), He is an old mate of one of my mates, and he is a local boy from Seaford. So due to those three things, I'm claiming him as my own.
Just look at this guys career-
Brownlow Medal 1997, 1998;
best and fairest 1992, 1994, 1997, 1998;
2nd best and fairest 2000, 2003;
3rd best and fairest 1990, 1993, 1996, 1999;
All-Australian 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003;
International Rules Series 1998;
EJ Whitten Medal 1992, 1993, 1996;
AFLPA MVP 1997;
Michael Tuck Medal 2004;
pre-season premiership sides 1996, 2004;
captain 2001-2002.
It's a tragedy that he hasn't won on that one day in september.
St Kilda's premiership quest has ended at the second-last hurdle, for the second year in a row, after a 31-point loss to Sydney in the preliminary final at the MCG on tonight.
However Harvey tried his heart out for the Saints and was his team's best along with Nick Dal Santo and his 10 possessions in the third term looked to have given the home side the momentum going into the final term after the Saints kicked four goals to two in the third term.
But a Sydney attack that had relied almost single-handedly on the brilliant Ryan O'Keefe for three quarters suddenly found options galore in the final term as the Swans surged into the grand final and the Saints were left to rue falling short of a grand final appearance yet again.
I Hope We Haven't Seen The Last Of This Legend.
He was the oldest player in the league this year but nothing lasts forever.
