Maybe because his leadership, commitment, loyalty and attitude have been nothing short of inspirational during the time of his injury and whether he makes it back or not being more like Jack Trengove

Finally looked comfortable at the level, I liked that he took one of his big marks that he frequently was able to take at Casey as well, this is something he's really good at. Even some of his tackli

How good was his one on one contest he won on the wing where he ran full pace at the contest and just won the hard ball and just burst away with it. Got the crowd up and going. A good family friend

Has skills. Hard at it. Loves the club.

What a great pick.

Reckon he'll be a gun.

A statement that has been made far too often over the years of our younger players (Morton, Maric, Strauss, Gysberts, etc etc), but this is one with whom I will choose to agree.

He just looks as if he loves the contest, and gas a great attitude.

A good family friend of ours and a genuine top kid.

As exciting a prospect as Salem & Gus. Has decent leg speed and reads the play very well for a first year. 2nd efforts at this early stage also.

Hogan is the spark that may finally light the fire thats been barely flickering for nearly a decade. We only played a mostly 2nds team on Sunday though so there's much work still to be done. Draft selections will be critical as always.

Another typical DL post. Absolute rubbish. He's done some good things in his 5 or so games and some not so good things.

Great story Dazzle told about him a while ago, sounds like a ripping kid. Love Harmes' infectious enthusiasm, love that he's a Demon through and through and really hope he makes it, but to say he's as exciting a prospect as Brayshaw and Salem is just absurd.

Reminds me of Fyfe. I know I know... but he does.

Been thinking it 24 hours after the game but was too scared to mention it.

Glad you did but lol.

Why? He breaks tackles, attacks the contests like a bull, his arieal work is fantastic and he showed he can take a big grab. He also has that speed to clear from the contest. Like Fyfe his kicking needs working but that will come in time. Not saying he will be like Fyfe but has similar traits.

Very similar traits.

One mark against Collingwood planted the seed but I thought don't be a dick head.

Then he took the early mark yesterday ... but when he got that hard ball on the wing that rammed it home and I thought I'd be a [censored] and post my thoughts.

Needs a tank. Biggest difference to Fyfe. Harmes is not a monster athlete. He just isn't. He is worth persevering with, but let's not get stupid about this. Fyfe is a freak, Harmes is a rookie.

Each to their own MW.

He is a pre season or so behind them so not expecting instant miracles and not saying he is a champion in the making either.

Just saying as a new prospect he looks as exciting to me as Gus & Salem.

Emphasis on "propect" might help u calm your excitement a little. Lets see how he's tracking in a few years eh.If I was likening him to a Fyfe I could understand your hysteria ^_^

I had him being delisted before he played a game but that was simply an exercise in probabilities - a second year Rookie yet to play a game half way through the year - that usually means deletion.

Now he would be a monte to be on the list because IIRC a rookie to get a third year requires going back through the ND and PSD and he won't survive that.

Still has time on his side. I'm starting to worry about the Cockatoo-Collins brothers though.

Went to school with those two for a few years, they were freaks at lunch time, took a few over my head that I wasn't expecting. Don also got suspended from school footy for headbutting a bloke from the opposition!

With his body size,good overhead skills and aggressive style...imagine what he could be as an on baller once he gets a tank.

Along side, vandenBerg , Brayshaw and Petracca, we start to develop that big bodied midfield unit that may be hard to stop in a couple of years.

I like a lot of what he's done but I wish he was a bit more selfish around goal. He seems to try and pass the ball when well in range for AFL standard players. Once he takes the responsibility on himself and kicks running goals from 40-50m out, he will be very handy. He plays a similar role to Kent, who loves a goal and takes it on. Harmes will need to improve in this area if they are fighting for the same spot.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
