Robert Harvey - worst bloke ever! Sledging Bartel's estranged father and then sooking like a baby

...In his book Hold the Line, Scarlett says he "enjoyed sledging", and discusses the ugly spat he had with St Kilda great Robert Harvey.

During the 2008 qualifying final, Scarlett said Harvey had sledged Jimmy Bartel about his estranged father, just days after their relationship was made public in a newspaper report, which "had shaken Jimmy up".

Rallying around Bartel, Scarlett said to Harvey: "You’re just a selfish old c***. You’re never going to win a flag. Your career has been a total waste."

The Cats would win by 58 points, and Harvey had little influence with 19 disposals.

"We totally got under his skin, and he was furious for the rest of the game," Scarlett said.

"After the game, I went up to shake his hand. 'You right, mate? The game's over,' I said. That's how I played football. What happens on the field, stays on the field, and when the siren goes you always shake hands and walk away.

"You're a f***wit,' he said as he ignored my outstretched hand and walked off."​

Top bloke Matty Scarlett sticking up for his mate in such a tough time.

Harvey got what he deserved and the truth of it cut him to the core.

Premiership virgin. Crying himself to sleep forever.

Scarlett and Bartell - 6 premierships.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

How did Scarlo know what was going on at Geelong he only used to speakto a couple of players.
Should be re-named Stuart Broad shitc**t.

What happens on field stays on field until I put it in a book!

Hilarious how he can't take a sledge regarding his playing career, but is more willing to make a personal attack. I don't have anything against sledging, but if you cant take it, don't dish it

Scarlett and Bartell - 6 premierships.

M Tuck - 7 Premierships.

Thats more than 2 Handbaggers can muster between them.

Matty Carlett "I love a good sledge"

So Maxwell sledges them and Scarlett cries for 12 months about it.

What a hypocrite Handbagger campaigner he is.

Note to OP................... **** off you welching Flog.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Harvey was a cheap stats waxer too

 

[NetworkNerd]

Plugger35 blames the umpires for not giving Harvey a free kick for copping a sledge

 

[Bosk]

So why's Bartel estranged from his old man in the first place?

 

[Mofra]

Scarlett - too honest for most football fans.
One of the greatest fullbacks in AFL history. He's earned the right to speak his mind.

When did Maxwell sledge them? I can't believe than I cannot recall this.

That's right - no matter how stupid he makes himself look in the process!

Harvey sooks for 53 minutes over Scarlett's yucky words

Meanwhile, Scarlett sooks for 53 weeks over Maxwell's yucky words

Seriously, who lets Maxwell get in their head

 

[JackAttack!]

I always rated Scarlo as truley a great player. I did like his persona. Now I totally love the bloke (but not in a Bosk themarkedman72 11sjw kind of way neither).

Play the game strong & niggle. If some campaigner comes along & sledges your mate like that, stick your foot in the campaigners arse!

 

[Iason]

The real story here is that he named his book after a Toto song.

Huh? What did Boganwell say to him?

 

[Shawt]

Huh? What did Boganwell say to him?

Scarlett had his sook on, because some flog wrote an article comparing Harley to Maxwell.

Mentally roasted, Scarlo talks about sobbing uncontrollably as Maxwell verbally destroyed them at 3qt time in the '10 Prelim. Laying awake at nights for a full year afterwards, Scarlett was only able to conquer his fear of Maxwell when the rest of the team carried him to the next flag.

Sadly, to this day, Maxwell has taken up real estate in the flog's headspace.

What did he say? Anyone know?

 

[Shawt]

Scarlett refused to say

What happens on the field, stays on the field....

...unless he wins the sledge war, then the flog is more than happy to translate all proceedings for the world to hear. Shithouse bloke

 

[pavilion103]

Harvey was a selfish stat-padder of Buckley proportions.

 

[ChappyUK]

WTF did he name it Africa?

If its on the field it should stay on the field.

But like you said some circumstances where it should be published.

Hmmm. Alright. The manlove for him is nowhere near the lofty heights that only Bloods are worthy of, but I do rate him as one of the best non-Bloods players of the century still. He certainly could never be a Master Troll if someone like Boganwood could troll him. Especially in such a big game. Although, it seems to be mostly hearsay.

Why is it that only Bloods are true greats of the game?
