James Harmes - Rising Star

Featured Replies

Love him!

Not fast, no devastating side step,, kicks alright, handpasses alright, pretty good in the air and yes, goes in hard but he just has that aura of someone who's really really good,

Someone who's sum total is well above their individual components

Couldn't have put it better, I've been a fan for a while now, he has a bit of a swagger about him, something we've lacked for a long time.


Congratulations, James.

Get that staging for free kicks out of your game and focus on getting front position and you'll improve out of sight.

[censored] pumped for the boy. Great recognition for sustained effort. Well done Harmesy, keep up the good work.

PS love the coloured mouth guard

What's his nickname: Horse or Chomp?

Bucky. 

Well done Harmesy ......... great reward for effort, which is there for all of us to see.  


Dazzle - your brother and old man must be chuffed at this as well. Do they still keep in touch with Chomp?

Pleasantly surprised... As may be he.

Well done

It's quite fascinating that some of the more exciting are not the advertised...I.  Harmes..Hunt

Well done Dees

Well done lads

Well done James. The Trac and maybe even Hunt to come.

we got a glimpse of what harmsey might be in the last game last year. it's good (for a change) to see these boys coming on in leaps and bounds, rather than going backwards. even better to see so many of the young ones really relishing a contest. the new recruiting style is  starting to make a difference


Harmes is emblematic of this club's younger brigade.

Hard, skilled, team-oriented and competitive.

And in love with the club and his team-mates.

I did notice that on occasions last year. Can't recall seeing it this year.

well done Harmsy!

 

Tracks turn this week

What a joke this competition is. Harmes had, what, 5 or 6 possessions that didn't either put his team mates under pressure or completely miss the target. Harmes may have got a lot of it in the first quarter, but after that he tailed off. They've looked at his stats and made this call. They clearly didn't watch the game. Petracca's game was far better and even though he's already been nominated, I'd argue that Oliver's game was also better.

If his decision making and disposal was better in this game, then this would have been the right call. But nope. However, hopefully he takes a lot of confidence from this game. That he can accumulate the ball now. He just needs to tidy his game up.

Reading the AFL website article, it's also nice to see that the initial impetus for his turn around came from a convo that he had with Roosy and Josh Mahoney halfway through 2014 in which he was told in no uncertain terms that he had to lift his professionalism or look for alternative employment.
While the fruits of their labors are becoming more apparent now, it's heartening to hear that the PR revolution been ongoing from the moment he walked in the door.


Congrats to Harmesy, really well deserved. He's gone about his business this year quietly but he's doing a really solid job.

Well done Harmesy!  He's come a long way since being a flashy and talented rookie at Casey who would catch the eye but couldn't get enough ball to be a serious contender.

We haven't yet seen anything like his best aerial skills in the seniors. When his confidence is up, he will be sitting on shoulders.

They sure do mate. Brother is currently trialing for Vic Country under 16 and chomp has kelt in touch with him with some encouraging txt messages. The kid is all class on and off the field. 

 

Fantastic. Well done, James. Your run and carry, overlap and leg speed is very important to the team and you are a valuable member. With Jayden Hunt you have both been very big bonuses on top of our more highly publicised draft picks.

A lifetime dees fan too

Oh to have had only a 20-year lifetime of Dees support!

Anyway, like Daisy above, I was taken by his performance in the Docklands-hoodoo-break last year, in terms both of what he did and the confidence he expressed in doing it, particularly in the air.

What is the record for nominees from one team in a year (and if it's GWS, what is second best)?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
