James Harmes take a bow.

[Guest]

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.

Had a great year.

[What 18,810]

His last 5-6 weeks have been phenomenal.

[deebug 1,754]

Yes he has gone up a notch.

[Swooper1987 3,322]

fantastic second half of the season for Harmes.

[Chook 15,068]

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

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.

Most improved MFC player 2018 for mine.

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.

[Gorgoroth 13,215]

Seemed to win quite a few centre clearances and quite cleanly too.

[P-man 13,367]

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

[jnrmac 20,360]

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

[dazzledavey36 56,278]

Gun!!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Gone from a C+ to an A in about six weeks.

Incredible season he's had.

[spirit of norm smith 16,679]

Yes most improved. Has lifted since Viney went down. Brayshaw equal most improved!! 

[Sigil 1,002]

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

[Bravo Oliver, Bravo 182]

I see him as a long term leader

Always hoped and now it has come to fruition!!

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,819]

Best run with player in the game. kicks goals, big marks, love him.

#period

[rpfc 29,020]

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

Excellent.

[M_9 2,214]

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.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

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.
