    Well according to your theory then Jeff Garlett should be in the VFL for the rest of the year.

    God I hope BenKen and Jakes inclusion reads more about keeping them hungry... I'd have Harmes ahead of BenKen (assuming tyson and kent are locks) I like BK and he can do the spectacular and has great pressure, yet drifts out of games and unfortunately his height is problematic... a la Nahas and even C.Daniel... Harmes can win his own ball in the air, but disposal is average -in my humble opinion at least.

    Why would you say Tyson and Kent "are locks"? That's a midfielder and forward to replace two defenders. Given that, I would have thought Tyson and Harmes would have the front running (assuming no other late changes). Or perhaps Spencer plays instead of Harmes if Watts goes to the backline, although I can only see this happening if there is some doubt about Gawn's fitness.

    Our depth of small forwards is finally very healthy compared to a few years ago when we had virtually SFA.

    Kennedy is hard and offers some good goal sense, he can also rove quite well and get those goals out of seemingly nothing.

    He has stiff competition for the role he has been groomed for but he's far from a 'bog ordinary' player.

    I'm intrigued by the absence of Bugg,  Had a much better JLT than Harmes imo, and was game-day emergency last week.

    Tyson and Harmes. Kent would be next pick.

    IMO, Bugg's JLT series was at his normal level, which is that of an average footballer. Harmes had a quiet JLT, but his ceiling is higher than Bugg's.

    I think Harmes will come in to play a back role. His ability overhead will be needed. 

    His kicking and decision-making may become problematic though.

    Steve he  is an ordinary player who is too short.

    At AFL level you have to be very good if you are small.

    very good he ain't.

    I'm glad you also bolded the word assume - devil is in the detail of that word - so no response required from me...

    Conversely, some posters can't identify a player with ordinary skills.

    It's OK to have an opinion on footy and communicate it Stalinyrconhome.  

    It's even the reason some of the filthy demonlanders come here.

    I have a yearly subscription, but believe you can do by shorter periods. They also have an App. Works well for the most part.

    Harmes for mine. 

    Despite all else, I like his attack on the footy and opponent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
