Now that I've heard what was said I feel like I can comment (that is if what SEN played today was the bulk of what was said).
It never ceases to amaze me the reaction GT has on people. I didn't think he said anything earth shattering, and for the most part I agree with him. Harv's is getting caught more these days and is probably losing a step. All players do and at Harv's age isn't it to be expected? What sets players like Harv's apart though is his footy smarts and work ethic. When he loses them I'd be worried.
Dermie was just being hysterical Dermie. *sniff*

I remember Harvey in his prime being taken out by Hocking at Kardinia Park...
Every game you will see player or several caught unawares as their attention is upfield or on the ball...and they get caught out.
Just as when Hocking took Harves out...such as instance does not mean that a players career is over.
As for Harveys's pace....I must have missed that part of his career where he was a pacey player

Hated Girlong and Hocking ever since...no exceptions, anyone who plays for them are all cheap shot cowards.
That had nothing to do with speed or age, Hocking picked Harvs out in the pack from a boundary throw in, and didnt see it coming.
We won the game but the "gorilla biscuit mould" Hocking got off the next week, he should have gone for 6.

And the AFL then changed the rule about 'taking unsuspecting players out', making it a reportable offence.sunsaint wrote:Happened right in front of me.saintsRrising wrote:I remember Harvey in his prime being taken out by Hocking at Kardinia Park...

No doubt RL and the saints fitness staff will be working up harves more slowly than the young blokes , I expect we will see harves used sparingly off the bench for about the first six games, then he will rip the opposition apart as normal. I would love nothing more than to see the great man on the dias with a BOG medal on GF day... I used to have a reasonably high opinion of GT its has now taken a dive, and Dermie just has peroxide brain damage !!!

I liked GT as a coach and still think of him as a Saints man, but at the moment he is just another bitter pundit trying too hard to make headlines and believing in his own publicity.
Even if Germ and GT were right if you weren't a headline grabbing commentator you would actually wait for the real stuff before making those type of comments.

If he agreed with Derm's comments then I don't agree at all.
Like most sacked coaches he's probably trying too hard to prove himself correct on some issues.I liked GT as a coach and still think of him as a Saints man, but at the moment he is just another bitter pundit trying too hard to make headlines and believing in his own publicity.
I suspect this is the case with Harvey.
Like I said earlier, if Harv's starts losing his footy smarts and his hard running then I'll be concerned.Even if Germ and GT were right if you weren't a headline grabbing commentator you would actually wait for the real stuff before making those type of comments.
He's getting older? Some news flash there.
I want Harv's firing when games are intense and there's something on the line. I couldn't care less what he does now other than staying fit.
In fairness to commentators, it would get pretty boring if every comment during the NAB Caup was "none of this matters". However that doesn't excuse stupid comments like writing off a champion.

Dermi and the fat turd GT are completely full of it. GT, the skunk, of all people should be aware of the danger of writing of harvs. Lets not forget he will be used in a different , probably more sparing role this year. Modern day rotations in the midfield will suite him to a tee.
Yes they are paid to make "special" comments those two, but they are not paid to make fools of themselves. But dermi and GT will suit themselves, if the shoe fits....

the ironic thing is that Harvs wasn't too bad on Friday night. Or so our coach (not the fat slug who was SACKED as coach) felt as he had him in the centre for the whole of the 4th qtr.
I would prefer our current coaches opinion over Brereton or the fat slug who is suing the club he bleeds red white and black for
Most others on SEN have been ridiculing the assessment of the two headline chasers and rightly are saying that they wont hang Harvey on a preseason game.
Too bad Dermie and the fat slug haven't the integrity to do that.
Oh yeah have Harvey tearing up a meaningless preseason match. Thats right forget that he has to be managed for a 22 H&A season
Headline chasing sensationalist idiots

Will give the likes of Dermie and co to surmise that he has been "dropped" and is past it.
Can probably ge another week or two out of jumping on the great mans footballing grave

As for the comments - I did hear them and the whole discussion and was amazed that, short of "lets grab a headline at harveys expense", that two so called "footy experts" could be dumber.
Seriously Dermott and Grant get along very well and are candidates for dumb and dumber - I also heard "GT" tellling us all on radio this morning how "eminantly qualified" he was to agree with Dermott.....this smells of serious bum sniffin in the highest (it must be true....good corporate opertaor old GT).
That said, come the real stuff I make a decision who I listen to and thank god I cant stand either of these poor mans footballing gurus (both been given the @ss from how many jobs now for being knobs?)
All on the back of 1 NAB Cup Game from Harvey ...that goes beyond the line "theyre expert commentatots let them say what they want" tripe......I now understand how Grants got 8 kids....if hes as quick in the cot as he is in forming "considered" opinions he probably has another 10 kids elsewhere...
Dermutt...well.......his comments scream "desperation to be relevant" to a footballing public who long ago passed this sad sack of cr@p aside just after he stopped prostituting himself to both Sydney and Collingwood - now theres a "sad" end to a football career......perhaps he is jealous of Harvey's humility after all.......
