He had a go at the culture of the club. Undeniably we do not have a great reputation, but Arch's son would be taken under the father-son rule anyway, so why did he even have to make the comment?

Your having a go at my club yet your clubs not the most perfect one going around either.
As a Carlton supporter living in Perth, and going to all Eagles home games (long story, don't ask...lol), was very impressed with the respect shown by the crowd today towards the champ. Well done to all that were there. Shame though there's some morons online who have their head stuck up their a*se.
As lovers of football, if you can't acknowledge, appreciate and respect what Robert Harvey has achieved over a glorious career, then there is something seriously wrong. Well done Harvs on a magnificent career and another great game today!

Well done WCE supporters. Was surprised to see that response from the crowd at the end of the game. Has altered my opinion of WCE supporters.
the point is 2 team members with mental issues were dropped like hot potatoes - so much for the family club
at least WCE are trying to deal with cousins health and not offloading to another club
it doesn't make the players' decision right though

Crowds can be very parochial, but they shouldn't be congratulated for doing the right thing.
It's a privilege to be able to watch footballers of Robert Harvey's calibre.
Their contribution to the sport transcends club colours and it is only right that football fans acknowledge this when it is their turn.
Imagine if everyone buggered off when the Eagles did their lap of honour around the MCG after they won their first flag in 1992?
We as Victorians didn't like to see the flag head west, but we still did the right thing and acknowledged a champion side.
Harvey is one of the all time greats of the game, no question. His peers openly acknowledge that he is a "once in a generation" freak. A magnificent competitor and sportsman, who never stopped trying, who never took his eye off the ball and was just too bloody good.... FOR TWENTY YEARS AND COUNTING!
I thought they were standing up to spit on Milne.

I also happened to be at Subiaco last September when the West Coast fans showed the greatest of respect to Smith and West and was quite moved by the show of respect. My opinion of West Coast fans rose dramatically that evening. I realise it's probably a massive generalisation, but for me that sums up my feeling towards West Australian football supporters. Extremely passionate, yet knowledgeable and respectful. It certainly is hard to imagine Smith or Harvey getting a reception like that in Adelaide where from my experience the supporters have always gone to extreme lengths to show their hatred towards anything Victorian.
Who were the 2 players 'dropped like hot potatoes'??????
