James Harmes - Rising Star

Could he become a mid? Doesn't do enough to be just a forward for me long term. Contributing every week, but not big games

I think he adds some good run to the side

He's forming a handy habit of creating goals in key moments of games. Obviously he was instrumental in the Watts goal on QB, then this week he caused a goal where no goal was to be had with his run down the wing and kick to ANB in space. It was just a great option that was well executed - there were a squillion ways that play could have gone wrong.

He's a good mark for his size too.

No doubt he's foot soldier class, but I think his game is developing nicely. If he ends up having to make way as our injury list reduces, he'll be very stiff in my opinion.

He is rough around the edges but I think he is starting to iron out the majority of his poor choices that plagued him last year and early this year.

Still makes a few errors with his kicking, but the stuff he does well outweighs this.

I love his attack on the ball and man, and he is a very powerful player,

We have an incredibly powerful side with Viney, Petracca, Oliver, Harmes, Jones & Hunt all very strong players.

Agree. On all points. That was an excellent set up to ANB and he also made a great choice last week setting up a Garlett goal last week, when it would have been easy taking a less obvious (but less effective) option.

Which is great because i was worried that he was a hard working player who was a bit limited in terms of vision as previously he has taken the wrong option, most notably his choice to shoot for goal against Freo rather tan than cross to jetta, who was running through the cente corridor and who is suspect harmes did not see. 

Harmes's biggest asset is he always puts in 110% and you have to love that (and i'm sure his coaches do).

Improve his kicking and he will be super valuable...

Like his hardness, running and endeavour..
