Collingwood's Friday night win over Carlton will be remembered for many things.

The Nick Daicos match winner. Lachie Sullivan's first kick and subsequent goal in the AFL.

Bobby Hill's immaculate crumb and goal on the run, the same pocket Daicos slots a six-pointer from minutes later.

The tackling pressure. The ferocity of the Pies.

But two moments will fly under the radar in the outside world as if they didn't exist while internally at the AIA Centre they'd be praised as much as the aforementioned acts, maybe even more.

So Harvey Harrison, here's your praise from the outside world.

Late in the final term, behind-the-goals footage shows Harrison running from deep inside forward 50 to the other end of the field to take an intercept mark in between three Carlton players.

A moment later - per Collingwood's instruction late in games to surge the ball forward - Harrison knocks the ball from the congestion into space to which Daicos swoops on the ball and the rest is history.

Collingwood coach Craig McRae revealed that during the review on Monday, the Pies signalled Harrison's moment as having "virtually saved the game for us".

"You trust they know how to play," McRae said on SEN.

"Harvey Harrison is a great example of that.

"Today (Monday) we go back and celebrate the things that helped us get the job done and the opportunities to help us get better like we do every week.

"There's a bit of footage in the last minute or so when we were in our forward line, the scores were level and Carlton transition the ball to McKay.

"And he brings it back across his body and there's Harvey Harrison who marks the ball.

"In real time you go 'well done, you got back and helped out'.

"But if you go and watch behind the goals how far he ran, he's not playing as a winger. He's a forward and ran the whole length of the field and realised the winger wasn't in position and he fulfilled that role and virtually saved the game for us.

"He's played six games but he knows the patterns and this game is always small margins and little moments every week."

Harrison's statistics aren't the flashiest nor do they jump off the page but his 13-possession, one-goal, three-goal assists and four-clearance performance rivals the significance of other players on the field.

The 20-year-old has had to bide his time but is quickly becoming a favourite of McRae's and Pies fans would expect to see more of him in 2024.
