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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
