Toast Pick 45 - Mitch Harvey

[Peck]

Yeah, actually, I'll withdraw the "quality" criterion.

I've seen Brownlow nights, I don't know what I was thinking.

You were thinking with this

 

[raman]

You were thinking with this

Not reeeeallly. Most footy WAGs are total butterfaces.

 

[simba_]

I will defend him a bit here.

You only get to go to a school formal once in your life.

i'm going to my fourth next week.. and the saints one was the worst one!!

 

[philthy05]

if mitch had ditched the game for the formal at the last moment or not told them he was not going to play or told them at the last moment i would see the issue with it.

but every quote ive read is that "mitch chose to go to the school formal over playing finals"

so it sounds like he has gone to the club and told them he wanted to go to the school formal. i think the club are being stupid here. its only juniors footy ffs and that one game wasnt going to make or break anything for mitch. he has plenty of footy left ahead of him and plenty of sacrifices to make for football. i have no issue with him telling the club he wanted to go to his school formal.

it sounds like north had all their hopes of winning pegged on him playing and were pretty dirty about it, this would explain north people having a dig at a 17 year old choosing to go to his school formal.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

What's the problem? He only let down North Adelaide.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Well he doesn't play for them anymore so that's a plus

 

[Chachi]

What's the problem? He only let down North Adelaide.

Exactly. And maybe a club 'agreed' that he should attend.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

They're just a feeder club to bigger things anyway

 

[*PAF]

Did we hide him or did he hide himself to try and get to Port?

There was plenty of Sturt annoyance with Wingard when he put himself in cotton wool in his draft year because he didnt want to get injured.

Good. No point getting hurt at Sturt hindering your chances to get an AA honour in year 2 at a real team.

Not to mention the year before where he returned to Imperials to play in 3 grand finals in one day for three flags (fi my rumour mill is correct) I never did check if this was fact or urban legend.

 

[Ebert80]

Did we hide him or did he hide himself to try and get to Port?

Who knows - probably a combination of both - but regardless of how it happened we have a potential superstar amongst our ranks.

Big Red





just what we need, more redheads.

Agreed, his school spend a good hundred grand or so on their formal. Its a pretty epic display - I wouldn't miss it as a graduating kid either.

That doesnt right to me.

He did play in at least 1 A grade flag with Imps - I think it was when he was 15..whether he played in 15s, 17s and A grade flag in same year/day, Im not sure.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

MannumPower would know.

what year would this have been? not this year because the might mannum roos won . I'll go searching for some info.

 

[MP_]

MannumPower would know.

I don't , can't even find any info to say he played at imps. Might have to ask on another forum.

 

[missionpossible]

the year before his draft year, I think they beat mannum in the reserves,

 

[Portmanteau]

A bit of quick research showed A and B premierships in 2011 - couldn't determine Chingard's participation but

I know he did play in the A grade one as a 16 year old I think? They left him on the bench at the start as there were going to be some pretty heavy hits early.I think he came on around quarter time and kicked 3 goals.

School comes first they say.
I didn't play footy for my school side or even wanted to.But I had some pretty good games in under 17's which caught the attention of former Sturt player Andrew Zilm who was the School coach. He said to me " You know I can stop you playing for your club side if you don't play for your School team?" I laughed and said "no"
Anyway he came down to watch the next Week and I played the worst game imaginable.He never talked to me again after that.

hmm, mannum reserves have been crap for 3 years, they won their first game in two years this year.
