Retired Brent Harvey [retired]

[Cyclops]

Would love him at Collingwood, show some young forwards (esp Elliot but also Crocker and maybe Fas) how to play midfield/forward.

The guy is still so annoying he must be doing something right.

I don't think GWS would need him, they've already got a plethora of young small forwards/mids, plus they've still got old man Stevey J.

I think he'd fit in perfectly on a HFF for the Bulldogs, especially with their game style.

If he can mentor the C Curnows, Sumners, Buckleys etc it would do a world of good.

How many do you have?

Should retire as a 1 club champion....Nothing worse than when a veteran sullies their rep, in eking out 2 forgettable, mediocre years at another club.

See Dougie Hawkins.

or Wayne Carey.
Mick McGuane, so many in fact.

Really strange situation. Good enough to go on for another year. But somehow this should be at North. A few years ago his experience would have been a huge value for the new clubs but not anymore. And as a FP/mid he is not so much playing a missing piece position for clubs in contention. Most are probably get more value from playing a younger recruit. Might do a bit less well, but a chance to offer more long term. At his age Harvey also comes with a risk as well, even when he obviously has proven to be pretty durable...

I'm actually totally with you, I've watched many of his games this year and yes he had a handful of rippers kicking numerous goals but there were plenty he turned the ball over resulting goals and the final the other day was a classic example of it. It's easy to look at stats and see he's racked up 20 disposals and think it's good but when 12 of them are 1-2 handball links backwards it's vastly inflated the significance. Make no mistake his best is still very good and he's been an absolute superstar for so long but I just don't see the value in retaining him and holding out younger players any longer as it would appear North are going to need to take steps back before forward so for me the time has come to retire.

I think you give him a tap on the shoulder before the season starts that it may be his last with the club. For the games' record holder, club champion, premiership player, it's been handled poorly.

Who would walk away from the salary that footballers get. He will probably never earn more than $100k a year again so if he gets an opportunity to earn $350k for 2 years he owes it to his family to at least consider it.

 

[Drewie11]

Collingwood would be the best fit. I think they will push into the top 8 next year. Add him into the forward line with 35 goals.

Stevie J? It can go both ways.

 

[LeeARM]

A lot of people like to mention that he will be taking away opportunities for younger players. I'm pretty sure he will only take up 1 spot in the team and if a promising, young player can't get a game ahead of a 38 year old, maybe he will realise that he needs to get better, quickly.

Stevie Jay isn't 38 going on 39.

 

[Sinjin Smith]

How many do you have?

Not enough. Talented young kids that is.

I thought there was just one of each.

 

[Wild Bill]

They have had similar seasons. Age is just a number.

If that was true, then North wouldn't be de-listing him.

******* really? Getting a bit pedantic for casual forum talk.

 

[daffo]

Pies are chasing Mayne and Boomer. Apparently the Dal Santo story was made up from nothing.

 

[Wild Bill]

Because we need to rebuild - big chance we struggle next year and as Harvey is not great defensively that will offset whatever he does on offence. He has to play for a good side that can win the flag. At least Wells works back and helps out in the backline. NDS is similar to Harvey - it's why they got the chop.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Dogs should take him

Dogs should take him

Could mentor Caleb Daniel.

Crameri Cloke Stringer
Harvey Boyd Daniel
Doesn't look too shabby when you've also got options in Dahlhaus, Cordy, Dickson, Smith
But could also be a disaster waiting to happen, who knows.
