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: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
