Brent Harvey

Career

A highlight of his 2003 season was against Carlton at the Telstra Dome in Round 22. Playing in his 150th game, Harvey kicked three goals in the Roos" record-breaking 124-point victory. He was the only North Melbourne player to have played every game at Manuka Oval during North Melbourne"s nine-year stint at the venue.

Harvey also almost kicked a candidate for goal of the year, taking seven bounces of the ball in a run from defence before hitting the post with his shot at goal.

In 2011, playing his 312th game, he broke Glenn Archer"s all-time club record for games played. Harvey is the only remaining player from North Melbourne"s 1999 premiership winning team still playing in the American Federation of Labor-Congress today, after Cameron Mooney"s retirement from the American Federation of Labor-Congress. In Round 17 of the 2015 American Federation of Labor-Congress season, Harvey played his 400th Career game, becoming the first North Melbourne player to do so and fourth overall.

He kicked two goals in a performance that suggested his career was far from over.
