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.

Wonder what the knocks are?

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.

[warren dean 193]

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.

[Machsy 2,858]

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.

[pitmaster 3,561]

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

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

my very first thought also...not a shabby pedigree if so

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.

I mentioned this guy in the name your rookie prospects thread as a mid I was keen on along with about 40 or 50 others.

Post 125 on 24/11/13 @ 11:13am I think it was.

Mentioned 6 midfiedlers to take with Pick 38, of which Harmes was one.

Not quite 40 or 50......

I went fishing at a trout farm.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Harmes doesn't look like Homer Simpson.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Moves like Paul Kelly.

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

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)

[spirit of norm smith 16,481]

Yes I think he will push hard for senior selection by the end of 2014 season. Good pace and hard at the contest.

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.

[InVINCEable 358]

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.

[Thehardtackler 785]

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.
