    From one of the threads:

    James Harmes (VIC Mid)
    Height: 184cm, Weight: 78kg, DOB: 05/10/1995
    Recruited from: Dandenong Stingrays
    Style:
    Player comparison:
    Range: Late - undrafted
    Profile: Harmes is an aggressive midfielder who inside the contest really attacks the ball hard on the inside and will go in for it. Hes got above average pace and can also at times push forward and take a mark.

    185cm, with speed. We can see the trend. Looks like a bit of a project, numbers are magical, but enough there that obviously we think he's worth it.

    Thought we might go Templeton from Tassie though

    Projects to be a big bodied midfielder/utility once he he fills out. Good in close and feeding the ball out - constructive and creative handball ability. More of a handball first guy.

    He's a great young fella and his old man is a keen Dees fan! From Devon Meadows JFC originally, where my young bloke plays. Had a good year at the Rays, wins his own ball and distributes pretty well in traffic. Was looked at to go late in the National Draft.

    Any relation to Wayne? And by association Norm Smith..?

    Looks good in his video on the AFL website, although it is short.

    Exactly as advertised - quick hard attack on the footy, good size.

    Coached this year by one of our finest - The Yeater.

    Anyone know if he put a word in for the kid?

    I mentioned this guy in the name your rookie prospects thread as a mid I was keen on along with about 4 or 5 others.

    Good pace and good agression and he'll put heat on the likes of Bail & Tapscott no doubt.

    Moves like Paul Kelly.

    Disclaimer: I never said he was as good, would captain his team or win a brownlow.

    Harmes doesn't look like Homer Simpson.

    didn't know you were a paul berry fan robbie LOL

    anyway when i first saw pic of harmes i immediately thought of beattie (a younger one of course)

    Good little story on him and he seems pretty confident and motivated to make a career for himself. Best of luck to him, and good to see he's a local from the Casey area also.

    Would have rathered someone else like Battersby, Templeton or Cavarra, but you don't win them all.

    Hopefully he goes well for us.

    All the best Harmes.

    So basically anyone you'd already heard of on bigfooty, or seen on TAC Cup FutureStars, we get it.

    It is much better a player like Harmes who really wants to play for us than a kid who is always looking to swap across to the team that he supported at school.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
