Who Should Get Harvey's #?

[Huzzad]

The mighty 35 will be inevitably retired at the end of next season, and I was wondering who we think the # should be passed down to.

This is a very tough decision, maybe they should retire it for a year or two. But does anyone have any notable nominations?

[riccardo]

Try to find one of the inumerable threads on this from the past rather than starting a new one, please.

[Huzzad]

Well I did but didn't see any. Sorry

[GrumpyOne]

Perhaps if we had a working search function........

[Otiman]

Whoever Harvey chooses.

Alternatively, have it retired for at least a year.

Indeed.

Pointless discussion for at least 12 months IMHO

Harvey's number, the working search function, or both?

Bangers number lol
The search function was disabled ages ago as a measure to stop the Forum crashing..AFAIK there are not plans to reinstate it

Instead of disabling the search function, the admin should have simply set the time limit for time between searches to something a little higher.

In my years supporting phpBB, I haven't had any experience with forums crashing because of overuse of the search function. It's not to say it doesn't happen, and I'm sure this may have been part of the reasoning behind implementing the time limit, but I think there may be an underlying issue.

There is a kid we might look to draft in a couple of years named Connor Harvey who would fit into the #35 quite necely !!

[saintdooley]

harvey will choose someone! i dont think he is the type of guy who would want his number retired for a few years, we will get up on stage in his last game and give it to a young guy, im guessing Gilbo...

Last I heard, Conner was not interested in playing footy, though.

i find it hard to believe that a ten year old has already decided he doesnt want to play

usually you get to about 14-15 before you start making serious decisions about your playing career

unless he doesnt play at all for a local club or auskick (if he is still younger than ten) i still hold hope that we might one day see another harvey running around in the red, white and black

I heard that was the case up until a couple of years ago.

Now Connor is playing Auskick and junior footy as far as I know which excites me a lot.

Harvey will not pick someone, not in his nature to do so.

Just let it happen. Why the obsession with who will wear what number?

Let players create their own history.

Give it Benny C in 2009

[midas_touch]

I get the feeling that a great deal of fans would want the #35 to be retired at least indefinitely, but I'm thinking the great man wouldnt want such a thing to happen, and would happily have an up and comer inherit his number.

[Garibaldi]

Rumour has it that because of the weight the number 35 carries it will be split up and worn by several players. The sum total will add up to 35. Hope that helps

Be a bit confusing with seven No 5's on the ground

harvey will reluctantly, after discussions with wife, the club, family and friends play on in 2009, and in 2010, with, reluctantly having discussioin with wife, the club, family and friends play on, and after than in 2011, after discussions with wife, family, the club and friends, have one more season, in 2012, after another season, will sit down, discuss the situation with his wife, family and friends, and in conjunction with the club reluctantly play on.

no STFU.

Dan, you are saying we won't win a premiership in the next 5 years, because when we do the great man will call it quits.

Im saying harvey will win a premiership in everyone of those years and reluctantly go another

as long as we play attacking football

[Pwoit]

The person who should get Harvey's number would be Ross Lyon, so he can call him each year to continue on playing until his grandchildren start playing for the Saints.
