Brent "Boomer" Harvey (born May 14, 1978) is an Australian rules footballer.
He has natural pace and a booming kick, and has been a solid midfielder for the Kangaroos over the years. Beginning in 1996, he found himself in a premiership side in 1999, following an EJ Whitten Medal victory playing for Victoria in the State of Origin series. He won the Syd Barker Medal in 2003, as well as the Jim Stynes Medal in the International rules series.
While he had a poor year in 2004, he bounced back in 2005 to win All-Australian selection and the Syd Barker Medal.
A highlight of his 2003 season was against Carlton at the Telstra Dome in Round 22. Playing in his 150th game, Harvey received the ball, looked to handball to the right, then the left, then the right again then he went on to kick a goal and he celebrated by doing a imitation of shooting a slingshot in the Roos 124 point demolition.
He is the only Kangaroos player to have played every game at Manuka Oval during the Kangaroos' nine-year stint at the venue.
