North Melbourne legend Brent Harvey has been taken to hospital after suffering a horror injury playing for his suburban club.
The VFL/AFL games record holder was stretchered off the ground after badly breaking his leg in the first quarter of North Heidelberg’s Round 1 clash against Heidelberg.
In a seemingly innocuous incident, Harvey won the ball in a contest before going to ground awkwardly.
He remained on the ground holding his leg before medical staff from both clubs came to his aid.

Harvey has been a regular in the North Heidelberg line-up since his AFL retirement, playing whenever his North Melbourne commitments allowed.

​

He and his brother Shane were a part of the Bulldogs’ 2017 Northern Football Netball League Division 2 premiership, while Shane has kicked more than 1000 goals for the club.
 
Should have been in Adelaide.

It's incredible how durable he was. Last injury was the elbow dislocation against Richmond in 2009 IIRC? He had the elbow strapped when he returned later in the year.

s**t like that happens, dunno why people say he has to give it away. He'll rehabilitate and be back for the end of the season. All the best boomer.

i actually agree with you and that sort of sentiment is just nonsense, right. play while you can and while you enjoy it

but sheesh, back from that sort of broken leg by the end of the year? I know he's got some super genes on him, but that would be some sort of recovery haha

Probably a 12 weeker maybe? I thought they heal quicker and better when they put a plate in rather than go for a cast without surgery.
