Would like to know how his contract is going. Have they opened negotiations?

Also how he's embraced different roles - wing, forward, back, on ball and even some ruck and if he sees himself settling in to one particular spot.

    I have a soft spot for Harmes. He came back to the club in ripping shape, he’s done well to cement his place in the best 22. And he looks like the bad guy out of every movie from the 80’s.

    Harmes suffered a punctured lung I believe in his first season playing with Casey which kept him out for nearly two months. No doubt disappointing for a rookie trying to have an impact and make an impression in their first season.

    Maybe a question about his drive, determination and his thoughts on how he could get the best out himself when he returned from the injury?

    It's hard to imagine anyone on the MFC list that the Aints wouldn't be chasing.

    Hi I’d like to ask Harmes a question. Do the players use round 23 last season as motivation going into this game or have they moved on and left that in the past?

    Can you ask him if he is any chance of a move to the backiine in Lever's absence?

    On the theme touched on in the clarry thread i would be keen to know if teammates are consciously adopting his handball techniques or it is more though osmosis (harmes seem to trying the overhead in the air handball quite often - along with Dustin Martin's straight arm fend off)

    I'd like to apologise for drunkenly but accidently licking his sweaty ear when I hugged him at Subi last year whilst screaming "that was f*@%ing awesome."

    I was the only Melbourne supporter in the Eagles members area and he was the only Melbourne player to venture over.

    Fun times.

    Lol is that a real rumour (as real as they can be), or some toss on BigFooty or facebook just making stuff up?

    I hope it’s true. Imagine that situation; you grow up supporting a team, and get drafted by the team you grew up barracking for on to the rookie list, at a time the club is in the toilet. During that time, you slog your guts out trying to make a name for yourself at a club barely able to support itself, let alone you. Half way in to your career, you finally establish yourself as an AFL quality midfielder, and the team you grew up loving and now play for is flying.

    Then some two bit pack of muppets from across town and about 14 spots lower on the ladder come knocking. They give you an offer to toss away your life long connection and newfound enjoyment of winning games of footy to lose at Etihad in front of about 5 people every week. 

    I don’t think I’d be able to contain my laughter.

    Especially as the only perks to the base wage would be a half-used BIC lighter and the opportunity to participate in some questionable boudoir photography.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
