Boomer Harvey's 400

Post by John Wren »

for any footballer, this is a great achievement so congrats to him on that. he is one footballer i have never warmed to and for no other reason than he comes across as a flog. i don't know him at all so it is only informed by what i see on the field, and sometimes off it.

Anyone that reaches 400 games deserves all the plaudits. He comes across as a flog. I met him at a function a few years back and he was most welcoming. Like any footballer, talk about anything but football and you can't shut them up.

It's pretty impressive, and, unlike Fletcher (will he play again?), you get the sense he might actually be able to pass Tuck's games record.

I am sick to death of hearing about Brent Harvey. Especially from Brent Harvey.

I've never liked him but 400 games is a brilliant achievement especially for someone as small as Boomer in height.

Went to the after match "social" where Boomer turned up and spoke.
Good on him for playing 400.

Just got home and had to wash the Norff stench off of me.

Would have played many more games had it not been for his snarly Chihuahua-like temperament, resulting in unnecessary suspensions.
