THE FALLOUT from Brent Harvey's split with North Melbourne continues with Boomer's wife, Shayne, revealing the Harvey children have jumped on the Bulldogs' bandwagon.
North Melbourne told Harvey, 38, he would not receive a contract for 2017 in the days leading up to the Kangaroos' final home and away game of the season against Greater Western Sydney.
Drew Petrie, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo were also informed they would not be playing on at the Roos.
While the children of the Harvey clan had been North supporters, Shayne Harvey told EON Sports Radio on Wednesday that is no longer the case.
"My 12-year-old (Cooper) and four-year-old (Hudson) have totally jumped on the bandwagon," she said.
"Cooper totally has jumped ship. He's asked for a membership for the Bulldogs.
"When Brent got sacked, he said 'Mum, can you go and get me a new jumper? I want a Bulldogs jumper'."
The family will be departing for a month-long trip to the US next week.
Harvey, the AFL all-time games record holder with 432, hasn't ruled out playing on in 2017 but his manager Shane Casley conceded on Monday that a move to another club is unlikely.
If Harvey doesn't play AFL, he will join North Heidelberg to play with his brother Shane.
He won't play outside Victoria because Cooper will begin year seven next season.
"He's ruled out going interstate. I've said I wouldn't mind going interstate," she said.
