Round 9 Anytime Fitness Men’s Rising Star: Harvey Emery

By VAFA Media · June 21, 2024
Round 9 Anytime Fitness Men’s Rising Star: Harvey Emery

The VAFA congratulates Harvey Emery from St John’s OC Football Club, who has received the Anytime Fitness Rising Star nomination for Round 9. Harvey has been a reliable forward for the JOCS this season, using his agility to create scoring opportunities, kicking 5 on the weekend.

What the club said:

Harvey “Banger” Emery is one of four father sons currently playing seniors at St John’s Old Collegians this season along with his older brother Clayton, as well as Austin Waters and Jayden Rudd.

Playing his junior footy at Waverley Park Hawks and Under 19’s at Blackburn, Harvey couldn’t wait to get back to the club his father “Spider” dominated for many years as soon as he was finished with junior football. From the time Harvey has arrived at the club he hasn’t missed a beat, attends every training session and has played every senior game this year.

Playing mainly as a mobile forward with stints in the midfield, Harvey is a versatile player with great aerial skills. His marking ability is second to none and is tough, quick and skilful. He is a bit quieter compared to his brother off the field but is a competitive beast on it, using his large frame to dictate terms with his opponent.

Senior Coach, Tim Edwards said, “Seeing Banger run around at his first training session I knew we had a talent on our hands. The way he moves he is a really smart footballer and his hands are some of the best I have seen. He is never out of the contest and has plucked some sensational marks this year from nowhere, he is such an exciting young talent”.

We as a club can’t wait to see Harvey develop over the next couple of years. He is a loved young man at the club and has the potential to take the competition by storm in years to come.
