Retired North Melbourne great Brent Harvey has agreed to return to Arden Street in a mentoring role.Harvey reluctantly announced his retirement at the end of the season after he was told he wouldnt be offered a new contract for 2017 along with Drew Petrie, Nick Dal Santo and Michael Firrito .The AFL games record holder didnt hide his disappointment at the shock decision and briefly considered continuing his 432-game career at another club.But the 38-year-old, unable to bring himself to play in another jumper, will return to the club to mentor the Roos young talent.Im really happy to be returning to Arden Street, Harvey said from a family holiday in the United States.Im looking forward to seeing the next generation of players come through and really start making their mark on the competition.Ill take a hands-on role with them over the next two years helping to guide them and be there as a support mechanism in terms of their on-field and off-field development.I just want North to be successful and to remain a part of the team is really exciting and I cant wait to get started.Harvey passed Hawthorn legend Michael Tucks previous record mark of 426 games in round 19 when the Roos defeated St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.He was still playing at a high level and believed he could continue to do so with North, but will instead play with his brother Shane at North Heidelberg in the Northern Football League.Petrie is still hoping to sign with West Coast as a delisted free agent and Dal Santo is considering off-field roles, while Firrito also announced his retirement.Harvey will also work with the clubs junior clinic program, as well as its father-son and next generation academies.

DETROIT -- Another rough return from the disabled list for pitcher Jordan Zimmermann could potentially put his spot in the Tigers rotation in peril.Zimmermann, who has served two stints of a month or more on the disabled list for a neck injury since July, got rocked in the Tigers 11-3 loss to Baltimore on Saturday night, surrendering six runs on four hits with three walks in just one inning (plus four batters faced in the second inning).After the defeat, which left the Tigers trailing the Orioles by one game in the race for the second wild card, manager Brad Ausmus did not commit to Zimmermann making his next start or remaining in the rotation.Thats something to be discussed, Ausmus said. We havent decided that yet.The Tigers appear to have a few different choices. They can keep Zimmermann on regular rest and have him make his next start Thursday against the Twins, use rookie Michael Fulmer in that game, or seek a spot start from either Mike Pelfrey or Buck Farmer.Pelfrey, who was recently moved to the bullpen, is available for only 60 pitches, however, and Farmer will be unusable for at least the next few games because of his workload in long relief Saturday night.When Zimmermann was asked whether he expects to make what would be his regular start Thursday, he said: I hope so. I mean, I hope Im pitching in five days. They havent come and told me anything yet.?Zimmermanns outing on Saturday was frustratingly similar to his last appearance -- another truncated start on Aug. 4 in which he gave up six runs in 1.2 innings pitched before promptly returning to the disabled list.But the 30-year-old insisted he felt good physically and was not hampered by injury.I feel good. I feel like Im back to my old self. I just wasnt able to locate pitches, and its pretty embarrassing going one-plus innings and giving up six runs, Zimmermann said.Ausmus did not seem worried that Zimmermanns health was in question. Previously, Zimmermann admitted to rushing his last comeback attempt, which ultimately resulted in another long absence.Ive never been told that he wasnt 100 percent, Ausmus said. He pitched his rehab, and afterr his last rehab start he said he felt really good.dddddddddddd Thats why we went forward.It was clear from the first inning, however, that this was not the same Zimmermann who began his Tigers tenure with a phenomenal first half and earned American League Pitcher of the Month honors after posting a 5-0 record and a 0.55 ERA for the month of April.Zimmermann began the game by serving up a first-pitch home run to Adam Jones and, three batters later, gave up a two-run shot to Chris Davis. The Orioles have been punishing opponents with their slugging abilities, and the Tigers were no exception Saturday night. When Zimmermann was removed from the game in the second inning, Detroit was already in a 5-1 hole.I was trying for the corner and Id miss 5 inches off or down the middle, Zimmermann said. In a lineup like this, its going to be a long night if youre doing that, and as you saw, thats what happened tonight.Complicating matters is that the Tigers are faced with uncertainty about their rotation while the team is in the midst of a heated playoff race. Ausmus was peppered with questions both before and after the game about whether he contemplated saving Zimmermanns return for the clubs upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins, who have floundered against Detroit this season, rather than an opponent against whom they are jockeying for position.Considering the Tigers face the American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians this weekend, those types of questions -- and the ensuing scrutiny over pitching matchups -- are expected to persist as Detroit tries to snag a postseason spot.We need to win games, Ausmus said of the teams precarious position. Well decide whats going to best help us win games.Zimmermann, who said he has never experienced a stretch like this in his entire career, was frustrated he could not do that on Saturday.Were in it, and you want to go out there and pitch a good game and keep racking up these wins, he said. I was terrible tonight. So this loss is on me. ' ' '
