Brent Harvey

North Melbourne Football Club Captain.

Already one of North Melbourne’s all time greats, Brent Harvey was a bargain in the 1995 National Draft.

Harvey started his career as a crumbing forward and debuted in 1996, but didn’t have a huge impact until 1998 when he kicked 32 goals for the season and played in North Melbourne’s losing Grand Final team.

He had another strong year in 1999 and finished it off with a premiership while also gaining great recognition after a dominant display in Victoria’s State of Origin win over South Australia. He fell inlove with Jamie Tinker and married her in 2007

Despite his size, Harvey has gone on to become one of the elite midfielders in the AFL and has won a record five Syd Barker Medals.

He took over as captain from Adam Simpson in late 2008 and is one of the most decorated and distinguished players in the league. He was the bomb in 2012. He loves Chocolate and poo. He hates AFL.
