Past #29: Brent Harvey - drafted w/ #47 in '95 ND - 432 games/518 goals for NM - AFL games record holder

[Husk]

Our game style would appear to suit him.

Could definitely be dangerous off a HFF pushing forward.

Good get if cheap IMO.

 

[Rod Stroker]

David Rodan has revealed there are several clubs after his services.

Apparently it's happening.

I wouldn't be upset if it happens

The photoshop or the trade?

 

[Elite Master]

The Dees, is there anyone there aren't interested in?

They even contacted me the other day but I told them to GTFO.

Anyway I'm actuelly starting to warm to the idea of Rodan if we can get him cheap, but of course it just won't happen and other more proactive clubs will strike.

Rodan looks good in North colors.
Get it done North, nothing to lose.

 

[Footy Karma]

Apparently it's happening.

Serious?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Serious?

Apparently the word is we are in the mix to secure him. How serious that is, who knows.

Also looks good in Gibbo's body

Hope so. Would be perfect for us as a small forward or sub.

 

[Forever North]

Would be a good replacement for Cruize I reckon. I don't mind him, has good pace and evasive skills however can be an erratic and inconsistent player. Does play the odd blinder though. For minimum wage only.

 

[The chorus]

I'm not sure why we would need to replace Cruize, unless the Roosters are short of players. We aren't that desperate surely!

Quick question - is Harvey training with undrafted, underage kids something he has done much of?

Nathan Hrovat who was just drafted to the Bulldogs (174cm) has mentioned Harvey took time out to train with him a few times and play a mentoring role, and Lachie Hunter was also invited to a few training sessions.
Speaks volumes about the bloke if he's working with kids already for no personal benefit.

I think Hrovat and Boomer live on the same street and Hrovat approached him at the start of the year.

The fact that Boomer turned up to train with the 1st-4th year players at the start of PS also says a lot about the man.

Make the best of a crummy situation. Young guys will benefit more from him being involved in the NAB games.

 

[B4Bear]

Better to work on the structures for the main gig, and get some game time into the youngsters.

Boomer does not need the time on the field, and any gains (like he will actually get anything out of it) he makes will be lost when he is serving his suspension. He will be better on the sidelines where he has a better overall view of the game and where the players are making their mistakes and how to rectify them.

 

[QueenslandRoo]

Harvey's talking up Majak! Good signs!

 

[TheKanga]

I won't say no to seeing the little champ run around.

 

[Mr Reliable]

I'd like to see us make the finals of the NAB Cup this year. Why not us?

 

[muttley45]

I'd like to see us win the NAB Cup this year. Why not us?

EFA

 

[Dan]

Hate to come across as a joy kill but I'd be giving Boom Boom very little if any NAB cup game time. What is he to gain other than injury?

Just stay fit for round 7.

 

[Roopassion]

Dan if he's suspended from afl doesn't that also mean vfl?

Shit....

 

[marklovesbeer]

We'll go real close to winning it this year.
Paying 16-1.

Get on.

Hawthorn or West Coast for me, both have relatively soft fixtures and are top four teams.

Either way I wouldn't touch the NAB Cup; too many variables.
