Past #29: Brent Harvey - drafted w/ #47 in '95 ND - 432 games/518 goals for NM - AFL games record holder

[Page8383]

I'm 50/50 in my anger / disappointment at Harvey and the tribunal

They both deserve a smack to the back of the head

 

[Kanga1996]

Gerard Whateley believes there are no grounds for an appeal and Harvey made a mistake for not pleading guilty to both chargers and this guy knows his stuff

 

[scooby1279]

Crap decision, but Harvey is an idiot. Simple let's move on.

 

[SMaturin]

Whateley and Robbo should be to the tribunal what Clark and Dawe are to the House of Representatives.

 

[the 5th wiggle]

Conca getting two, and Boomer getting three, is why the AFL is such a joke.

I thought boomer should have got 1 or 2 tops for a very stupid act,but how conca only gets 2 for basically a gutless strike from behind is behind me.if he did this in public he would be charged with assault.

 

[Coach Bombay]

Haven't read the thread so don't know what the general consensus around here is but he deserved what he got in my opinion.

Got 2 weeks but up to 3 because of his bad record and I think that's fair. Can't be doing what he did. He has shown on so many occasions that he lets taggers get under his skin and it is extremely disappointing that someone with as much experience as Harvey has that he does this a few weeks out from finals.

I would have thought tunneling is more dangerous than flipping, but seeing as how dire the consequences of flipping are being touted, i am now on flip watch, and look forward to seeing any perpetrators duly booked and suspended

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

When Jack was hung, drawn an quartered in 2012 we won every game to stick it right up em.

Same thing will happen here.

 

[cakewalk_1]

My two cents worth. Harvey = 2 weeks for stupidity thats all. Doesn't deserve to miss a final for that incident.
My guess (Im sure plenty of people will correct me) is he just got sick and tired of being grabbed, pinched, pulled back...etc etc. He just wanted to play the ball and got frustrated.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Another victory for the tagger, congratulations AFL, stupid by Harvey, three is a tad harsh.

 

[SMaturin]

Got done for the flip?

GAGF.

 

[kool kangas]

How close is Nahas to playing . l think l read last week he was 1 week away. Could he get 1 or 2 games in the vfl and come back in for the first semi >>. replace Harvey....

 

[Page8383]

I'm ******* speechless at how amazing we are at ******* up at critical times.

We are all time at it

All time

True, its probably worse than what Lake did. We all know Lake didn't have Drews throat, but its clear as day that Boomer had an elbow in pickens. This board is pathetic, there is no "higher power" trying to take us down, every club cops the same inconstancy as us yet for some reason everyone on this board thinks North players can do no wrong. Now im as passionate as anyone here, but sometimes you need to take off the North hat, step back and take a look at it for what it is. Boomer was an idiot for what he done, no matter how much of a dog Picken is what Boomer did was stupid. He has history for this, he deserves everything he gets.

We all know that Lake didn't have Drews throat? Please inform us of where Lake's hands actually were then.

So....

If I stood behind your chair and grabbed your arms every time you went to type a post on Bigfooty for say 300+ posts that wouldn't piss you off to the point of wanting to punch me?..

 

[Gasometer]

I called 3 weeks last night naturally north said the AFL has probs if he gets 3.

Nekminit AFL has probs.

The delicious irony is that this kind of crap only feeds the monster that is overpaid, uninformed sports 'journalism', which in turn sets the agenda for the administration.

People with common sense don't get paid to promote it. We live in a world of sound bites and gammits in the place of informed policy.

Deserved 1 or 2 for mine. In a pre-Lake world, no more than a fine.

So true .. But a final is surely worth more .. I would take 6-8 weeks in the home and away season over a final

The best response is to win the next three games and Ross Howie can go f--- himself

I raise you Jason McCartney...and in hindsight, considering Bali, it stings more than anything.

Yes fair call in 1998? (correct). Your kicking for goal cost you the GF. Nth were clearly the best team all year and finished on top. With the talent Nth had in the 90's they should have won one more flag. Fair to say.

Would I want to punch you? Yes.

Would I actually punch you knowing half a dozen cameras are on me and the repercussions will effect the rest of my team mates? No.

He missed 1999 and we won. That's what stings.
