Remains one of North’s most valuable players, although he will turn 34 in May. No other Kangaroo takes on and breaks opposition lines like he does; in 2011, he took 60 running bounces, fourth in the AFL and 47 more than the next best at North.

He is also one of the Roos’ best ball-users and most reliable goalkickers. Harvey now divides his time between the midfield and forward line and, in 2011, finished equal second at the club for disposals, third for goals, and equal third for goal assists (14). Re-signed for 2012 last August.

Draft history: 1995 National AFL Draft 3rd round selection (North Melbourne) No. 47 overall.
First game for North Melbourne: Round 22, 1996 v Richmond
NMFC Cap: 853
