Former captains and premiership players Brent Harvey and Adam Simpson will be inducted into North Melbourne’s Hall of Fame.

The duo were pillars of the Kangaroos' modern history.

They are two of only six men to have played 300 games for the club, leading the way as the Kangaroos forged a new era after their 1999 premiership triumph.

Both men will be formally honoured at the North Melbourne Hall of Fame event on Friday, July 17, the night before the club’s Round 19 home match against Melbourne.

The announcement follows the recent announcements that Corey McKernan and Greg Miller will become Hall of Fame inductees, while Malcolm Blight and Denis Pagan will be elevated to Legend status. 

Two more Kangaroos greats will be revealed as Hall of Fame inductees in the coming weeks.

No player has worn the royal blue and white stripes more often than ‘Boomer’.

Harvey played a club-record 432 games, a mark that stood as the all-time V/AFL games record when he retired.

Harvey won five Syd Barker Medals — more than any other Shinboner in history — and became one of the defining faces of North Melbourne.

He helped steer the club through transition following the exodus of the 1990s premiership stars, and captained the side for three seasons between 2009 and 2011.

Simpson, a two-time premiership player and an All-Australian, took the reins as club captain from 2004 to 2008, safely guiding the team into a new era after the success of the late '90s.

He played a crucial leadership role during a challenging period for the club in 2007, acting as a glue for the playing group and community while the AFL actively pushed North Melbourne towards a Gold Coast relocation.
