Brent Harvey, take a big bow.
The North Melbourne champ may only be 172cm, but he's a giant of the game.
The Preston RSL product will pull his boots on for game No. 300 this Sunday.
The 32-year-old Harvey described joining legends Wayne Schimmelbusch, Glenn Archer and Adam Simpson in the elite 300 Club at the Arden Street Oval as "a bit of a dream come true".
"When you get drafted, you just want to play one game," he added.
A consummate team man, Harvey is more worried about celebrating a win over West Coast at Subaico Oval than he is about his individual milestone.
"We're still in the finals race," he said.
Harvey is confident the Kangaroos are going places under new coach Brad Scott and can "achieve something special" by winning a premiership sooner rather than later.
Harvey's first role model was his father Neil, who was an accomplished footballer who played with Brunswick in the old Victorian Football Association.
Harvey happily recalled loving watching his dad play.
He remembered his dad's pre-match routine of having a shower and a shave ... and Harvey has done exactly that himself throughout his glittering career.
Harvey looks back on playing in North Melbourne's premiership in 1999 with tremendous pride ... playing under coach Dennis Pagan and alongside captain Wayne Carey.
"I always say Wayne cost me 100 goals. I was at his feet all the time, but he'd just keep taking marks," he said with a chuckle.
"He's one of the greats of our club."
Harvey chuckled when quizzed about his senior debut for the Kangas.
"I played 15 minutes in three five-minute bursts and got one handball," he said.
"But I was absolutely rapt to get a senior game which is more than millions who play the game."
For the record, it was round 22 in the club's premiership year of 1996 and North Melbourne beat Richmond by 32 points at the MCG ...21.15 (141) to Richmond 16.13 (109).
Craig Sholl kicked five goals with Anthony Rock, Anthony Stevens, Wayne Carey and Brett Allison chipping in with three goals apiece.
Richmond ruckman Justin Charles polled three votes in the Brownlow Medal with Carey polling two and Peter Bell one vote.
Harvey listed St Kilda champion Robert Harvey as the best player he played against.
