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

    I find him to be a natural looking footballer

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
