Good on him, it's god to see a kid realise his dream. And he's a ginger to boot.

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.

please provide list of players who swapped to the club they went for as a kid for that apparent reason. Off to the top of my head I can't think of one.

Either way like this pick. Average of 20 touches in Tac tells me he can play and athletically he looks a good mix. Usually in the rookie draft you get only one of those 2 things. Skills is my third recruiting category and you don't see enough of them to judge in his highlights but you can tell he's not horrible.

 

Lil' Wayne?

So a die hard melbourne supporter ey?

Surely he lurks among us here on demonland!?

Probably does!

At last we will have a mole inside the club!

He'd probably be well advised to keep away from supporter forums. Not healthy for the sane to be part of. ;)

Note: The following is a cheap shot but sometimes it's best to get it in early. I don't actually believe it.

Not looking at the ball. He's going Melbourne Player written all over him

Excellent pick. Who is going to work harder and he could well have gone in the main draft. Any one who is still a youthful supporter after all the garbage of the last 7 years and is good enough to be a quality performer at TAC level is most welcome.

I find it funny that everyone thinks he is an excellent pick, i didn't hear one person say they wanted us to go for him.

So? I didn't know anything about or want Jesse Hogan or JKH but I think they were excellent picks, what's your point?

Well, here's one. Saw James play a few times this season, and was thoroughly impressed with his hunger, aggression and work ethic. His skills are neat and he is a good size for a mid. I was hoping we'd take him with our third round pick, so to get him in the rookie is a bonus. Would have liked to add Alex Spencer as well, but looks like the club had a clear target in Georgiou as a key defender, so happy that Taylor and Viney got their man there.

I mentioned him in the name your rookie thread. Post 125 I think it was. Was really keen on either Harmes or Ben Sokol as another midfielder.

Good luck James, If the family are big fans are they are on here, good luck, hope you have thick skin. There are some dodgy posts on this site

Pretty poorly presented highlights tape by AFL but he certainly isn't the sort of skinny silky runt we recruited over the last decade and really has a go.

Good luck.

Nice article. Must be a real thrill to not only be drafted, but to be drafted by the Club you love! Doesn't happen to too many kids these days. So, well done to the kid. Really hope he goes well in coming years.

You need to understand that real inside draft information doesn't get written up on public fan forums.

Well rarely anyway:

How often does that happen?

When has it ever occurred that a player has left MFC because he wanted to go to a team he supported as a kid?

FMD!

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
