A small history check from Wikipedia...
>.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Has natural pace and a booming kick, and has been a solid midfielder for the Kangaroos over the years. Beginning in 1996, he found himself in a premiership side in 1999, following an E.J. Whitten Medal victory playing for Victoria in the State of Origin series. He won the Syd Barker Medal in 2003, as well as the Jim Stynes Medal in the International rules series.

While he had a poor year in 2004, he bounced back in 2005 to win All-Australian selection and the Syd Barker Medal.

A highlight of his 2003 season was against Carlton at the Telstra Dome in Round 22. Playing in his 150th game, Harvey received the ball, looked to handball to the right, then the left, then the right again then he went on to kick a goal and he celebrated by doing an imitation of shooting a slingshot in the Roos 124 point demolition.

He is the only Kangaroos player to have played every game at Manuka Oval during the Kangaroos' nine-year stint at the venue.

A big year expected for this fellow, with plenty of young players helping out with midfield duties we wont be so reliant on him, which should see him be able to rest forward and kick plentyful...

Sorry this is late fellas....

Last week efforts deserved a 7/10

This weeks effort an 8/10

This years average 7.5/10

Played very well again this week, hhe looked lazy int he pre-season cup, but int he past two games has shown his customary gut running, and tag breaking abilities.... His goals got us back in the hunt.. Was very happy with his game..

If anyone else wants to contribute please feel free...

Good to see him getting back to his 2005 form after a rubbish 2006. Thought he was fantastic on Sunday, his willingness to take Port on was a great example to the rest of the team. As was his goalkicking on the run.

Another good Brent Harvey game, Another 20 odd possesions with actual meaning... a few tackles and a couple of goals that couldve got us bakc into, if not for our patheticness... Doing an excellent job, playing up the field more and again deserves a 7/10

07 Average - 7.3

I was one of his biggest critics for not tackling but he has turned it around...

he had 5 tackles last week and another 5 this week... great effort his intensity on the ball has definitely increased...
