Robert Harvey Should Play Next Season
He has said he is retired, but other footballers and many boxers as well as NFL star Brett Favre have said the same thing and then returned. Harvey has plenty of games left in him.
He might as well go for 400 games, as he is very close to that already. If he becomes a skills coach, or plays football at a lower level, next season it will still mean he spends his time at a football club. It is better to play AFL for another season than becoming an assistant coach that has to teach Milne to pass the ball.
It isn't a case of Harvey hanging on to his career for the money, he is still one of the first picked by the Saints each week. Here are the players at St Kilda who may be worse than Harvey:
Allen, Armitage, Baker, Birss, Blake, R Clarke, X Clarke, Connors, Dempster, Ferguson, Fiora, L Fisher, C Gardiner, M Gardiner, Geary, Gehrig, Gilbert, Gwilt, Howard, Jones, King, Maguire, Milne, McEvoy, Montagna, Rix, Schneider and Steven.
Some thoughts from the players who did get to 400, Tuck and Bartlett.

"I'm really disappointed that he didn't actually go on and play 400," the Richmond champion said this week.
Footnote: The current player most likely to earn a chance of playing 400 games is Matthew Pavlich, who has 194 games to his name at age 26, a sound body and the game to spend his final years in front of goal. He will need to average 21 games for each of the next 10 years.
