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!

He and Brayshaw are the 2 most improved by a long way....

Terrific game... He set the tone for the day. That’s for sure!


His best game for the club today. His improvement has been phenomenal. 

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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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.
