NORTH Melbourne champion Brent Harvey will sit down with his manager in the next two days to discuss his playing future, with rival clubs yet to make official offers for the AFL games record holder.
Harvey, who played the last of his 432 games for the Kangaroos on Saturday night, said he remained unsure about his playing future when he returned to Melbourne on Sunday.

The 38-year-old's manager Shane Casley said the process of deciding whether he would play on would need to start before clubs made a pitch to sign him.
"I had a chat to him in the rooms last night and I'll catch up with him on Monday or Tuesday to start the process and go through all the different options," Casley told AFL.com.au.
"His focus has been on getting the game out of the way and now that is out of the way he knows he needs to make some decisions.
"We'll go through the different scenarios and come up with a solution, whether it's life with footy, life without footy, coaching or playing."

Harvey's management made it known the veteran was not going to entertain his options until his North Melbourne career was over, and as a result clubs are yet to make official offers.
The five-time club champion remained tight-lipped at Melbourne Airport on Sunday.
Asked whether he would play on, he said, "I have not thought about it. We just played last night, so all my energy was going into that."
Harvey's North Melbourne career ended on Saturday night alongside those of club stalwarts Drew Petrie and Michael Firrito and 322-game midfielder Nick Dal Santo.
Dal Santo said he was also unsure if he would play on in 2017 and would assess his options this week.
He said he hadn't been contacted by Collingwood, which has been linked to the 32-year-old.
"I don't know what that looks like, I haven't spoken to them. I don't even know if they're keen on me, that's the honest truth," Dal Santo said.
"I still love the game (and) I'd still love to have some involvement at AFL level.
"All my energy went into last night's game … I need to sit down and have a think about what I want to do first of all.
"The mental side of it is the challenge. I feel like I played solid enough footy and wanted to go again."
Kangaroos midfielder Jack Ziebell said Saturday night's loss was an unfortunate way to farewell a quartet of club champions and a "tough pill to swallow".
The 25-year-old said the group would leave a hole at Arden Street, but denied the club would need to take a step back in 2017.
"We've got a lot of young guys who are eager for opportunities and it's exciting times ahead," the vice captain said.
"We'll look to develop those guys over the pre-season and make sure they come out fighting for spots because it's going to be on."
Ziebell was hopeful tall forward Majak Daw, who booted four goals on Saturday night, would re-sign with the club in the coming weeks.
"Over the last two months he's shown exactly what he can do and he'll be a very valuable part of our side," Ziebell said.
