Western Australian Harvey Kelly played most of his games at centre half forward and was noted for his long, accurate drop and place kicks.
While in Western Australia, Kelly played two first-class cricket matches for the state, as a bowler.
The following season Carlton won all of the 14 games that Kelly played in and added another premiership to their tally, with the forward kicking a goal in the Grand Final.
He kicked a career best 28 goals in 1909 and made his third successive Grand Final, only to lose to his old club South Melbourne.
Under Kelly the club finished the home and away season in second position but struggled in the finals and failed to make the premiership decider.
