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.

    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.

    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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
