i picked him to be a most improved player on here about 3 years ago. He showed a bit of extra flash in a couple of his early games. 

Took him a while to find his grunt, but he has shown us a lot this year

the number 4 sits well

    I picked Harmes as our most improved this year - and even I'm not getting that carried away. Brayshaw easily takes that title. I'm chuffed for GBH's late-season improvement though.

    Absolutely insane the level he has gone to. So much more dynamic and moving as well as ever.

    Absolute gun. Plays like Dusty with his fend offs, toughness and kicking skills. Big reason for our improvement in recent times

    To nullify a superstar like Josh Kelly and impact the way he did was just insane.  He shaded Max for BOG imo.

    Second half of this season he has developed into a legitimate weapon. He used to try the fend offs and get caught, now he's breaking through everything like Dustin Martin! He's got decent speed and is aggressive with his run both offensively and defensively. Credit to him and the coaching staff for his development this year. Sensational to see a born and bred Dee thriving to take us the next step!

    Harmes is almost at Elite levels, sounds crazy but that’s what it feels like. The crowd buzzes with excitement every time he touches the ball now.

    He's going to make it very hard for Gawn and Oliver to win a Brownlow over the next few years.

    That I can cope with, winning GF appearances is what is important to me who wins the midfielders award is low on list of desires.

    Is this the secret to Harmes' recent success:  “...If I start on someone — [Josh] Kennedy or [Joel] Selwood or those types — they usually lead me to the ball, and once I’m around the ball I’m usually pretty good at winning the ball.” https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2018-james-harmes-lifts-the-lid-on-the-email-that-set-the-tone-for-melbourne/news-story/c9d87c489445df79dcbd8ff942601927

    Harmes seems so much stronger this year.  He has developed a really solid build and can shrug off just about anyone.  A Dusty Martin in the making, sort of. 

    Love that he is a life long Demon supporter and now wearing the red and blue in finals.  He has come a very long way since being rookied!

    Only 22 as well. If we keep developing talent like Harmes, we will be scary good in the next couple years

    Totally agree, LT!!  The kid has taken it to a new level and is now setting up play doing the things that got him caught not that long ago.  He's become a real beast!  And, he takes out the oppo's best midfielder, while winning heaps of ball himself.  (Did Kelly play yesterday?? LOL)

    A lifelong Dees supporter now living the dream and playing a big part in taking the team into the Finals.  And, he wears my favourite #4, too!

    What a star!!

    Since the broken bone in his hand, Harmes has been magnificent. Hope the same cause and affect will work with Tyson.

    I was thinking the same thing.  It was the game he played with the glove that I really noticed he was at a new level.  Strange coincidence.

    • 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.
