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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
