Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space - between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 95kg, use 95 kg, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 95 kg.
Could only find one stance where this was an issue. Fixed nonetheless. If there's any issues still, please note the specific use Boomtish (talk) 06:16, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the'. So, == The Port Adelaide experience (1997-1998)== should be changed to ==Port Adelaide experience (1997-1998)==.
"was a dual premiership captain" – this probably makes a brilliant amount of sense to you and aussie rules fan, but as a sportsfan who is completely ignorant of aussie rules, I have no idea what this means. Could you clarify, probably best done with a footnote?

According to WP:MOS, "Write out both the full version and the abbreviation at first occurrence". However, as you link SANFL and AFLPA on the first instance, I personally am not too bothered; but if you want to obey the MOS to the letter, you should probably expand them.
"Despite being regularly overlooked for the elite South Australian junior state squads, Harley continued to follow the rest of the squad to training sessions." Might be worth expanded / clarifying this, I had to follow the link to really understand what it meant, and it is far better worded in the source.
You refer to 'Port Magpies' in the first paragraph, and 'Port Adelaide Magpies' in the second. Try and be consistent in your usage. It might also be worth explaining the link between the Port Adelaide Magpies and Port Adelaide. But only if fits in easily.
"...helped the Cats..." I'm assuming that the Cats are Geelong? Would be worth noting this club nickname before your first use, or at least having a footnotes or bracketed explanation on first use. Especially as you use it throughout the rest of the article.
"...7 disposals and 2 marks..." Could you explain these jargonny terms, or at least provide a link to an article which explains them. (From the look of it, both of these terms have specific articles, but for others you can use Glossary of Australian rules football).
This section covers a large period of time, and yet is relatively small. I don't know anything about this guy, so it may be that it wasn't the most exciting period (though he won a few awards by the looks of it). Would it be possible to expand this section? No problem if not.
Information resources are abit lacking for these years, but I'll work on this. Perhaps it can be something to work on in eventually getting the article to a FA status? Boomtish (talk) 12:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Captaining the Cats (2007–2009)
"18-4 record" as above, some explanation should be provided.
An explanation of the term "premiership captain" should be provided to. From your re-phrasing in the lead, I now understand what you mean, but for followers of other sports it may not be clear.
You state "For the first time in his career, Harley featured in all 22 games during the home-and-away campaign" however, in the previous section, you say "Harley's consistency throughout the year, during which he played in all 23 games for the first time in his career, ... and again featured in all 22 games over the next two seasons." Slightly confused over this??
Toward the end of this section you use a lot of quotes from Harley regarding the 2009 season. I'm not sure they're all needed, it seems slight overkill to me, reiterating the same point a couple of times. You might look at thinning it out a little?
Similarly, you have a lot of quotes in here. In the second paragraph, I don't think "greatest player", "a natural leader" and "culture" need to be in speech marks, they can just be plain text.
Explanation is definitely needed here, I don't understand these in the slightest.
Added in a legend box for now, but will look into incorporating WikiProject AFL to fix this across all articles Boomtish (talk) 12:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Other than that I think everything looks over. Once you fixed these points, I'll have another quick look through the article, but I think it'll be ready for GA. I'll put the article on hold for these points to be fixed. Harriastalk 09:34, 27 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your fixes, I'm now happy to pass the article. Would still be good to look at expanding the Mixed success section if you are able to. Harriastalk 12:51, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
