I wonder what old mate Garry Buccanara thinks of Harmesy getting a new 5 year deal?

 

Seeing his ranking of Harmes proved to me that commentators look at clubs in isolation of who they think they should be watching. Harmes had a dip like most of the list but he was still a B+ and easily one of our better performers. 5 years might seem like a lot but he's worked hard to get where he is and being a Dee through and through he'll be stoked he's tied to us for the foreseeable future.

 

Really like the way he goes about his footy - hopefully he continues to improve on the same trajectory

Love the fact he is a Demon supporter - how cool is that for him to live out a boyhood dream

Keep up the good work Harmesy hopefully the ultimate prize is not far away

Good on him

Five years... front or backloaded...

My guess is backloaded..

Agreed. Harmes still had 2 years to run on his contract, so fair old extension. 

Wonder if his contract has been structured (or re-structured) to give us some flexibility as early as this offseason.

 

Good stuff Harmsey

Good news story from the rookie list. I did like what I saw early days from the #43. A duel sided player that had a bit of grunt and pace and wasn’t scared to go in. 

Be interesting to see how he goes off half back at times in 2020. Plenty to work with. Good set of hands. Good signing. 


Harmsey is quite literally living the dream of all us supporters.

His legend will continue to grow as the years unfold.

Kane Cornes on SEN was going to say something about a recent Melbourne signing, but I got out of the car. I assumed he was going to criticise Melbourne for signing Harmes to such a long deal.

Correct.

I really like Harmes, by the back end of 2018 he was one of the best 20 players in the AFL for while there. However, not sure we needed to sign him to a five year deal as I doubt he was going anywhere else.

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

If that's true, Bucky is an idiot. 

Just for accuracy he signed a 4 year extension/deal, currently contracted until end 2020.

Very happy with this and I think there is still a lot of upside. I dare say he fancies himself as MFCs Dusty, and I reckon and assume he'll be striving to achieve that level.

With his durability "touch wood/head" he can play 200. Absolute fairy tale that would be for a kid who grew up a Demon!

Five years for this bloke.  Wow.    You only give 5 year deals to certified superstars and even then thats a lot. 

He is signed until the end of 2024. This is the first season of the deal and he has been appalling.  Heads must roll.

He played so lazily tonight,  avoided contact. Looked slow. Another ridiculous decision from the mfc board

Another Mahoney specialty 

You guys were watching a different game from me. As soon as he went into the midfield we started to win the ball and get it inside 50.

He needs to play midfield or forward. 

Trade Viney to open up space for a legit winger and get Harmes in as the fourth mid in the rotation

I said this in the post game thread. He got us going with his run in the last quarter after he was finally shifted onto the midfield..

Who would have thought huh..

I've changed my mind on the letting Viney walk as a FA. I think we need to keep him. Particularly, when we'll need more mids in the longer format return next year. 

He should be very rarely played as the number mid though. His go is defensive mid or pressure forward.

Of course they were - look at the three who posted before you.

He was given a crack at a midfield/forward role and he immediately looked better than he has for weeks.


The mind boggles with some of our recent contract decisions.

Four years to Goodwin and five to Harmes, with seemingly no threat of either being poached, are just two for starters

It’s laziness. Long contracts = less work constantly renegotiating and renewing them more frequently.

Love him being signed up for 5 years.

Class player who is being played incorrectly this year.

Get him 70% Forward / 30% Midfield.

  • 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.
