Standing Ovation for Harvey

[BK Eaglesfan]

Struggling to find my best mood at present......but good to see the Perth crowd pay proper respect to a champion of the game....despite losing a game they expected to win.

Given the sometimes questionable nature of Eagles fans sportsmanship... which the send off for Rohan Smith did nothing to quell (oh they were only gracious because they won)...today was good to see.

Well done to Harvey - a true champion of the game.

Very happy with the gutsy effort by my boys and the the resultant win.

Credit to most WCE fans for sticking around - classy effort.

But 'Tizza'... you say he doesn't get pinged for holding the ball? Well, you have to catch him for starters. Adam Selwood found out the hard way.

Yet...I'm guessing when David Wirrpanda took on Raphael Clarke in the last quarter but was sensationally tackled - front on - you didn't think it was holding the ball?

congrats Harvey, absolute champion of the game!!
well done St Kilda it was a gutsy win

Someone spilled beer on my seat. I would've stood up anyway.

Harvey is one of the greatest player ever to pull a jumper on. I was seriously disappointed when he missed playing his 350th against us.

Great to see you guys pay Robert Harvey respect for his 350th game. He is truly a champion and deserves it an amazing feat to play that amount of games.

I made the trek over to Perth to watch the Eagles vs Bulldog final last year especially to see Scott West and Rohan Smith play their 300th games and it was also Smith's last game. To see the way the Eagles supporters clapped off Smith was great at the end of the day we all love our footy and we pay respect to players where due.

And at the beginning of the final qtr? When Lynch tackled Gram I think 40 metres from goal and didn't get pinged yet goes up the other side of the ground almost the same thing and Saints got a free.

You have the best deal of umpiring this year by a significant margin and when you finally lose a free kick count all you do is complain. Pathetic, arrogant suppporters and I'm so happy we beat you.. you deserved to lose.

Champion Harvey

start a new thread about the umps, this is about harvs. to be honest ive never seen a tackle stick to harvey, makes him so good so strong breaks through and is quick enough to give the handball.

Excellent player and from all reports one of the nice guys in footy.

 

[Milkman]

No disrespect to you guys but we should have retained that huge lead.

As we should never have given you that lead to begin with. That's footy.

 

[pazza]

Out come the tissues for the Weagles fans bitching about the umps on queue. IQ of peanuts really.

Standing Ovation clearly well deserved. He is a more than just a champion..but, a modern football icon.

Did it cross your mind that maybe we took the lead and it wasn't given? Or are you guys just too good for that?

 

[Rough_Edges]

this thread shows why i hate WCE.

Arrogant ***** - a thread where everyone is saying good stuff but instead they turn it aobut the umpires.

**** off West Coast.

 

[Ghostwriter]

These would be the same ppl who booed Glenn Archer a couple of weeks ago everytime he went near the ball, pack of w***ers the lot of them.

Ahem, hate to interupt but have a look at who started the thread and why! A ****** West Coast supporter glad the ****** West Coast supporters gave Harvey his DESERVED standing ovation for a wonderful achievement.

So you hate West Coast supporters because 40 000 of them gave Harvey an ovation and one or two on the internet hijacked a thread?

 

[Big Ted]

On ya Harv's ...

30 possesions in our 350th ! ... Play another year son .

Well actually with the team we had i wasnt surprised.

graham
nicoski
hunter
morton

i mean did they even do anything? And personally i think we gave you the lead lol. It's hard to say what im tryng to say without coming off arrogant but i feel that we should have won. If i'd said this before the match i wouldn't have been called arrogant but now that you win it's arrogant?? Anyway, again, congrats to saints, i'm not blaming the umps at all either, they were pathetic both ways.
