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..

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
