NORTH Melbourne forward Cooper Harvey, the son of Kangaroos great Brent, will make his senior debut against Geelong on Sunday. 

First-year forward Harvey has put together a strong run of form in the VFL, capped by a five-goal, 20-disposal effort against Williamstown last weekend. 

Brent, the VFL/AFL games record holder and one of North's most decorated players, is now a development coach at the Roos and was on hand to deliver the good news to his son. 

Harvey was drafted by North under the father-son rule at pick No.56 in the 2022 AFL Draft. 

He is one of four father-sons on the Kangaroos' list, along with co-captain Luke McDonald (son of Donald), Bailey Scott (son of Robert) and Jackson Archer (son of Glenn). 

Harvey is the second father-son to debut this week, after Melbourne announced Taj Woewodin, the son of 2000 Brownlow medallist Shane, will play his first game against St Kilda on Saturday night.
