    That was a disgraceful assessment for a player that's a duel top 5 B&F place getter and was near BOG in a final.

    That Buckenara rated him below one of the Wagner's tells me all I need to know about his footy knowledge.

    Well done, Jimmy. One of my favourites nowadays. Is only going to get better. Can't wait to see him attack 2020.

    Love the James Harmes story.  Started as a rookie for the team he loved and grew up barracking for.  In his early days he said he knew he was on the fringe of 'best 22'.  Well young man, you have come a very long way since.  Play any role your team asks:  tagger, midfielder, inside/outside, defender.  Love the way he plays and absolutely rapt he has re-signed.

    Not many players get 5 year contracts at the dees - shows how highly the club thinks of him (and that a few clubs came calling at trade time!).

    Good news and one less player to worry about leaving.

    Because so many players want out the door. 

    Sheesh

    I think you're confusing players for some fans.

    Great news. Harmesy is integral to our midfield. I hope he is used as a stopper again like he was at the tail end of 2018.

    Great news!

    One of the most improved players in the AFL and is unrecognisable from the player he was two years ago.

    Sky’s the limit.

    Rate him and happy he has re-signed, but in general I'm not sure i like 5 year contracts (unless that's what it takes to keep someone/poach them)

    One important re-signing down, plenty to go.  Need to progressively tick them off the list.

    Agree. And perhaps your last two lines are the reason.

    5 years for a really solid midfielder is a good result.

    Yes James is living our dream; passionate supporter becomes much loved and integral member of the team. 
    Love it!

    PS Also love that he has got better with each year. He has surprised me how good he has become

    Excellent news. Always rated Harmesy

     

    The five year deal ... no ordinary offer for just '...an ordinary player...' - as we are incorrectly yet regularly advised. Onyer Harmesy! Keep going strong.

    Great news, though that's a pretty long contract, usually those 5+ year deals go to top shelf players.

    Another 5 years for Harmes is pretty low risk I would think.  He has always been pretty robust injury wise and will tie him up until he is 29ish and would not be expected to loose much pace by them.

    Love how Harmes breaks lines with his tackle busting bursts out of packs and then gets on his bike and delivers long and deep.

    The other thing I wonder is if the club has back ended his contract to try and help squeeze in Jack Martin or any other good prospects that might be around over the next few years?

    Nothing shows a players confidence in where his club is heading than the signing of a very long term deal at a relatively young age. (Unless you are a Buddy and its all about the $$s)

     5 years is some real job security on what should be quite nice coin for a young bloke too.

    This season was an epic disaster, but the players seem to have not lost any confidence in the clubs direction.

    Onya Chomp.

    There's something odd about this thread. But I'm sure it will correct itself soon enough . . .

    Works hard, improves every year, and loves the club - GREAT OUTCOME!

    Even more exciting is that with some depth in our midfield, he can be used better (stop roles when necessary etc), which means that he'll continue to grow.

    I can see James holding up the cup one day, beaming with the unique joy of a childhood dream being realised.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
