A short interview with Robert Harvey

How has the year gone?I have felt better in the past month or so.   Early on, I had some injuries, nothing serious.  After last year (the medal and the Grand Final), it has been business as usual this season.

Have you deliberately kept a low profile?
I have never gone for the limelight side of the game.  Playing it is what I enjoy, although I am starting to do a little more media work, but no television shows.

Last year's losing Grand Final?
We found it was a completely different ball game, not like any other game.   The players certainly learned that.

Can St Kilda win it this year?
Definitely..  We have improved this year with a few new players, plus improved form of others. Gavin Mitchell has been good, Shane Wakelin has improved and the backline has generally been good.  A couple of players who have been out of form will come back.

As vice captain, do you let your team mates know when they have done something wrong?
I didn't once, but I have to do a bit of it.

What about a second Brownlow Medal?
A flag would be nice.
