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....

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
