#908 Mark Harvey
Relive Dan Eddy's 2019 chat with Bomber number 908, Mark Harvey, which originally aired on Essendon's 'Fabric of the Essendon Football Club' podcast series celebrating the club's 150-year anniversary in 2022.
One of Essendon's finest servants, Harvey played in three premierships (1984-85, 1993), was a dual All-Australian (1985, 1993), won a Crichton Medal (1992), and led the Bombers' goalkicking in 1985. In his 206 games (1984-97), he played at both ends of the ground and is widely recognised as one of the V/AFL's most courageous players.
Harvey was also assistant coach at Essendon for many years, coached Fremantle FC (2007-11) and Brisbane Lions (for three games in 2013), and is currently working in the administrative side of the club.
In 2002, he was selected at No. 18 in the top 25 'Champions of Essendon', then was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in 2014.
