Harmes gave some credit to retiring teammate Bernie Vince for his emergence as a genuine head-to-head midfielder, saying the veteran Demon had helped him grow on and off the field.

“He’s taught me a little bit — I probably try to keep my elbows in a bit more than Bernie though."

    Nothing like a back-handed compliment!  LOL

    I'd prefer Harmes to go to O'Meara.  

    Mitchell is going to do Mitchell stuff and Viney can keep a watch on him if it looks like getting out of hand.

    Shut down O'Meara and keep Mitchell under reasonable control and it goes a long way to winning the match.

    That is exactly right. mitchell does stuff all with the ball when he gets it but O'meara is a sneaky little tird who should be watched.

    Wow, Harmes is twice the player he was in round 4. In fact, by the numbers he is just shy of being 3 times the player, comparing the EF to Rnd 4!

    Very, very different scene now.

    As I see it, Harmes gives us another competent player inside the mess of pressure and tackles. I'm more concerned about that overall weight of struggle than about a specific tag, given that the Hawks must've gone close to the season record for tackles (113) in the round 4 game, which is close to double their normal output.

    All the talk of methodical and precise Hawthorn is fine and true enough, but they beat us with berserk pressure then, as did Collingwoodand and Richmond, making up our only three losses of any significant margin.

    Clarkson will know that weakness and the Hawthorn onballers will be under instructions to sacrifice their own game to unsettle and disrupt ours. It wont make so much difference up at half-forward (where it is always a nut-house for us anyway) but from the clearances, and in the general tangle, we're gonna need every competent body we can get or the quick handballs and tap-ons will all be happening knee-deep in brown streaks.

    Harmes going to Mitchell is a waste. Would much prefer him go to Jager or Smith.

    Mitchell isn't damaging with the ball. You need to hold Bruest and their forward line, and prevent O Meara from getting a run on the outside. Let Mitchell go head to head with our mids I say. He should go to Jaeger.

    He has been replaced.

    Viney is just back from a number of weeks on the sidelines still has a way to go to replace Harmes as one of the horsemen.

    I still have a confident smile when i see footage of Max, Clarrie, Harmes and Brayshaw walking back for a center bounce chatting together.

    Someone has to take Smith...

    Harmes has the weapons to do it, not sure who else.

    ...or stop his supply?

    Hannan to Smith. Hannan has always reminded me of Smith (obviously Smith is miles better), and this would be a great opportunity to hurt the Hawks' biggest attacking weapon going the other way.

    Its getting to a level now that O'Meara will need to find one of our young guns and man him. May it be Angus or Clarry.  Harmes will go to T Mitchell and that will be another good scalp for him . Viney well he can just go and get the ball and do his party tricks and rub some noses into the ground.  Petracca  is due for one of his better games. Too many headaches for the Hawks. Starting to love it.

    Lets see them escape those tackles. Keep the pressure up with tackles and poor disposal for them.

    Or Harmes can stop him and hurt him the other way. Viney to mitchell same as ablett, not so much a hard tag just beat him. shiel is the one that got off the leash last time with the focus going to mitchell. Matchup for bruest? Could see smith being an in this week if anyone pulls up sore or us extremely unlucky.

    Harmes is too short and slow for Smith, and their body types don't match up. Hannan would be perfect IMO.

    Smith: 188cm, 83kg
    Hannan: 189cm, 87kg
    Harmes: 185cm, 86kg

    Hannan isn't the elite runner that Smith is, particularly with his dodgy knee. Harmes isn't slow either, but I don't think he'll go to Smith (at the start anyway).

    vandenBerg on Smith for me.  He has far better pace than given credit for round these parts, he has a great tank, he's the same height, and he can absolutely physically work him over.

    vandenberg confirmed this morning on SEN that Goody had him playing wing due to his tank and let's face it Smith will only get to use his elite speed on a handful of times and not at all if he's constantly under pressure.

    I may be wrong, but I could see a vandenBerg matchup.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
