James Harmes - Rising Star

Featured Replies

 

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..

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
