Best wishes to the young man. Great to see a demons supporter have his dream come true.

For anyone that has seen him live, how big is young Harmes?

Website lists him as 185cm & 78kg, but would assume he has put on a bit of size since.

Comparable to?

One cannot argue with that. Though no doubt some will

[Ted Lasso 19,516]

I find him to be a natural looking footballer

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

I really hope he's not the sub...would love to see him have a shot against a relatively inexperienced Bombers outfit for four quarters in the wet.

I haven't seen him live, expect for a couple of Casey videos. Was just curious as to his size/strength. Whether he'll get pushed around or be able to hold his own in the contest. When he can lay a good tackle, or get brushed off. Whether he is more a Morton type, or Vandenburg/Viney/Brayshaw type .... etc

There is no such thing as a "Morton type" anymore at this level is there? Let's hope not anyway.

[Adam The God 30,249]

Poor old Cale. He looks scared even in that photo. Lade probably wasn't even on the ground.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

My main concern with Harmes is that his tatts don't really seem to suit him

Wash you mouth out with soap !!!!!!

We don't recruit "Morton types" anymore.

ANB and Stretch don't exactly look incredible hulks, but they don't seem to get brushed aside easily. Maybe despite the criticisms re hamstring injuries, which may or may not be related to 'conditioning programs', Missen may just be doing a great job in helping prepare the young bodies for the rigours of the game.

[JTR 2,846]

Ok, I am now "comfortably satisfied" that the young fella will be fine! Thanks guys.

[CBDees 3,167]

Not a bad start today. He was far from our worst!

There's nothing to be gained from potting a debutant rookie, and I hope he gets another game, but he may well have been our worst today CBDees.

I'm much more concerned with Garland, Viney, Vince, Tyson, Jones, Dunn, Dawes, Lumumba, Garlett and Howe of course.

[Thehardtackler 785]

Harmed did some good things but he will be a solid player with a few more matches under his belt.

[DeeSpencer 25,697]

Maybe the sub next week to see if he can make more of an impact when fresh. He laid a couple of tackles and had a few touches, certainly not the worst debut and not the reason we lost.

[Deespicable 2,726]

Warney had a shocking debut and then look what happened.

I'd be very surprised if Harrmsey doesn't get another go next week - although agree it may be as the sub.

I could see both our Glenelg teens going back to VFL for a couple of weeks after today.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Thought he contributed well for a first gamer. Not like the tackling blinder that Brayshaw had round 1, which some here were against, but a good start nonetheless.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

He has good hands.

He also had a pretty good shot at goal just before half time, but I'm not sure the 'miracle' attempt from the boundary would have gone done well with the coaches. Roos looked angry.

Should have centred it. Really liked his handball to I think Jones through traffic to release him into space. It took good vision and skill to execute. Bring him back next week.

[dazzledavey36 54,923]

Wish they would give him and ANB a go in the middle in bursts. These kids are natural ball winners and I get sick of it when they bring them in and plonk them straight in the forward line for majority of the game.

Get them into the action and give them the experience.
