MOST IMPROVED

The improvement in James Harmes as a footballer in 2018 was staggering to say the least. He now holds a vital position in the team’s midfield where he can blunt the competition’s leading on ballers as well as provide an impact by winning his own ball. Has restricted the likes of Joel Selwood and Josh Kelly while consistently setting up scoring opportunities for his own forwards. Deservedly finished top three club’s best and fairest.

    Some hoped and some knew improvement would come with this fella but not to the level we saw in the back end of the season. He was a joy to watch and has become almost elite. What a weapon!

    Fast becoming one of my favourite players. Even got my dog a new jumper this year and it was a unanimous in my household to put number 4 on his back. ❤️?

    Next to Brayshaw he was our most improved player. Went from fringe player to a must in the best 22.

    I actually believe he was our most improved player bur Brayshaw as well but I knew Brayshaw had it in him anyway.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
