As the season has heated up he is one player who has seemed to relish the pressure.

Has shown incremental improvement but is now showing some smarts and composure.  Doing important defensive jobs and has been composed with the ball in hand.

He is one player who in the last couple of weeks has been composed when it counted.

On field leader.

    Reckon he's a lock for the 2019 Demonland banner just quietly.

    His last 5-6 weeks have been phenomenal.

    Spot-On ptrcatck.

    The past couple of months, he has gone up another level, plus.

     

    In the same time-frame, 'de skipper' has gone off. 

     

    Time for a change, Jones'y.

    Good call. He has lifted from that middle bunch to one of our most important players. I always think those players who can lock down an opposition gun and impact the game going the other way are underrated. Not a pure tagger, but more of a hybrid role, similar to what Vince did a couple of years back.

    Maybe Vince could be picked up as a rookie; to help lead down at Casey.   His onfield leadership could be very handy to or younger guys.

    Our young players have to continue to learn the feeling of winning,,,,,,,  'often'.

    Then, if needed, we could call on him?

    Most improved player this year. No question.

    Lets all hope,  'jimmy'  Hannan can go to another level next season, as well.  Because, he has 'more levels', in him.

    Brayshaw’s elevation this season has also been exceptional but Harmes has come from a lower base.

    He's got some real belief in himself. Has pretty good skills and great attack on the footy and oppo players. Has had a really good year.

    One of our most consistent

    We still have a young team, and you see Harmes over the last quarter of the year....

    That kick to Kent for the sealer was just emblematic of his growing maturity.

    Excellent.

    Harmes made his debut against the Bombers (as an elevated rookie) round 15 2015. Laverde made his debut the same day. He was taken pick #20 in the 2014 draft and was much touted. 

    Harmes has well and truly gone past Laverde.

    The past 2 weeks especially Harmes has stepped up when needed. Many around him haven't but James Harmes has delivered. Now one of our most important players heading into finals. If Harmes and Brayshaw can get a support cast we are dangerous in the finals.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
