In a distinguished career, Harvey has won countless awards and medals, including consecutive Brownlow Medals, the league's highest honour, in 1997 and 1998. He was the club best and fairest in 1992, 1994, 1997 and 1998, and made the All-Australian team seven times. He won three EJ Whitten Medals, as well as the 1997 AFL Players Association Award.
