350 gamer Brent Harvey - his standing in the game

[MotleyLemon]

No argument there.
They (youth ) need to learn this from the elder guys.
we are talking elite though. NDS is elite

Yes, his last two years at St Kilda certainly show me an elite player.

I would think a larger sample than 2 games is required before announcing someone elite.

If you want to have a go at boomer - you have to come through me

What a bloody ponce...

I take it though that through omission Petrie is fair game.

This is why I don't come to the main board., such a waste of time .He has poise , awareness under pressure to not spill the ball like 90% of afl players . He has a sweet kick to... Granted he is not running around like a 25 year old , those skills he has can rarely be taught

Boomer won us that game yesterday, he was the difference.
Absolute champion of the club.

And did nothing of substance the week previous.

Harvey is a very good player, and has done so for a long time. Unfortunately the length of his stay in the game has over inflated his reputation in the eyes of some.

Is not an all time great of the game.

“There are certain people who take pleasure in lining people up and potting them. Brent Harvey is not one who should ever be in that gun (after) 364 games of heart and soul effort for North Melbourne.
“He certainly ignores it. I can ignore it or I can stand up for him — and while I’m coaching this footy club, if anyone wants to come after Brent Harvey, they come through me.”

What an absolute douche. Harvey is excused from criticism is he? Particularly warranted criticism that rightfully points out his limitations and individual first approach to the game.

I always respected Boomer up until last year and his blatant lies about Crowley constantly pinching him. Funny how there was no video evidence or any marks on Boomers body. Anyway, now I despise Boomer and cannot wait til rd 6 when we host the Roos in Friday Night Footy on Anzac Day.

I just expect our whole side to give it to Boomer. I know how close our players are and they will all attack Boomer physically every chance they get. Will the Roos retaliate or whimper and hand the game to us on a platter? I'm guessing the latter. As I said, cannot wait.

You are coming to the defense of Crowley a player who's tactics have been questioned by the best player in the game.... ok mate....

The players that don't like Crowley are strangely enough are the ones soundly beaten by him.

 

[benbanjo]

I think its evident that harvey is very insecure about his inadequacies (rat face, 5 foot tall, bad bloke) and over compensates by being overly aggresive and sensitive to people that hurt his feelings. Causing him to lambaste innocent teammates and commit perjury to incarcerate sinless people (Crowley). Whilst he is a very good player he will be remembered for being an absolute dog of a human being.

great player. and last night he was amazing. in a week where stupid small forwards were trying to dribble the ball through from 10 metres (not mentioning names)...he blasts the hell out of a banana and says 'this is how you do it!'.

There's just something about him I don't like. not sure what it is.

of course. it's his job to stop the best player in the game. what do you think they're gonna say about him? 'I love the way ryan Crowley plays?'. of course not. all midfielders would want to lock Crowley in a cell and blow up the prison. but he's the best at what he does.

 

[Kenny_01]

Most commentators have also said they never see him do anything illegal. Albett has also said since that Crowley is a very fair player. Noone else has ever complained about him not playing by the rules. Harvey is a liar and a little dobber. Can't handle physical pressure. Cannot wait for rd 6.

Ling is one of the best taggers ever. People said they loved the way he played.
