JamesHarmes2019Review.png
Harmes secured his second consecutive top-five Club Champion finish after another consistent year playing all 22 games in 2019. He played a valuable role for his side, often negating one of the opposition’s most damaging players and also showed an ability to win the ball averaging 24 disposals a game.

Love this Guy

Alwyays tries his [censored] off,  damaging when given space. Our best defensive forward

For this mad Melbourne supporter (me) seeing that mad Melbourne supporter (Harmes) living out his boyhood dream makes me very envious. From rookie to best 22: great story, and probably better to come!

 

My dog proudly wears number 4 on his jumper. Love his passion and the fact he is living the dream.

Wasn't as prolific in 2019 as he was towards the end of 2018 but still had a solid year and deserved the top 5 finish in the Bluey. I love the way he goes about it but would like him to take his game to another level next year.


One of the few developmental success stories of recent seasons.

Hopefully Hore (showed promise in 2019) joins him next year and we get solid contributions from both Fritsch and Hannan.

Started slowly after a huge second half of 2018.  Felt he found a bit of form when he started to play a more defensively through the midfield.  He is a very, very good footballer and his consistency of effort is a great asset to the team.

 

 

 

What a great human being this guy is. Seeing footage of his relationship with John from the B 'n F was great to see.


Future captain material imo.

love his effort and his flexibility

while i still think that when he is playing as a tagger he's at his best, i wonder whether he will have a different role going forward in 2020

it seemed to me he played much more of a defensive role towards the end of last season, and i suspect he may continue in that role

When Harmes gets going he can be a match winner no doubt and proved it against the hawks when he put in a last quarter blinder to help us over the line. Is durable and fits into a tagging role without fuss.  Has nullified some very good opposition since being used as a tagger in the midfield. 

Harmes is a valuable team member and he has plenty of scope to be even  better than he is.   ' A' GRADE Quality material.

 

Had a good season after coming of age in 2018 though appeared at times to be furiously paddling against the tide with little success. Weighed down by the general ineptness of some of his midfield partners and poor co-ordination.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
