Absolute gun AFL player and ended up setting the AFL record as most games played. Harvey had elite skill and he could win the footy in the back-half and run away from just about anyone, bouncing it all the way. Despite being an U18 All-Australian, a premiership player with the Northern Knights, winning the best on-ground in the TAC Cup Grand Final and testing well at the draft camp Harvey almost didn't get drafted. Most recruiters overlooked him as being too short (5'

and too small to be able to play AFL. However, his explosive speed and supreme skill saw him getting drafted as a late pick and within a few years he went onto become a Premiership player as well as picking up numerous individual achievements.
Harvey used his size as a chip on his shoulder and constant motivation. He used the disappointments from being overlooked for junior rep teams and even taunted by rival players about his size as constant motivation and to never get complacent. Harvey's younger brother also played in the AFL (albeit a much less successful career) and Harvey said his little brother was a much more talented player then him and just as athletic, if not moreso. However, his brother lacked the motivation and professionalism to be an AFL players so within a couple of years the league had churned him up.
Good read, particularly for AFL fans.
