Cornes just takes pot shots at all clubs to the point now that he has become irrelevant .

No one takes him seriously and he is absolutely the archetypical ,boy who cried wolf.

No no no ... I won't have it. He segues to the ad breaks like a champ. You'd think he's been doing radio for 20 years and not 3. Star.

MFC has locked in Harmes, hence eliminated any threat of losing him at end of 2020. Maybe backended the contract to free up salary cap space for potential short term future deals. Glass half full or half empty.

 

Yep, it’s plainly negligent for the club to lock away a young, required player with plenty of upside (who’s coming off contract next year) and who’ll attract a lot of interest throughout the entire season from a stack of other clubs, thereby creating a lot of unnecessary noise and distraction, for a further 4 years.

Josh and Co are clearly dumb dumbs.

As an aside, surely this reveals that the club think Harmes is set for a big 2020.

I actually like Cornes but he is building his media profile on sensationalist journalism. Not sure if he actually believes all of what he says.

The acquisitions of Lever and May can only be judged quite a way down the track. Especially Lever who is only 23 years old.

Sure a four year extension for Harmes is fair period of time but he wouldn't be on massive cash would he? We are not warding of a rival bid here just one less player to sign up next year. Decent list management. 

I like Cornes as a commentator too, says what he thinks and doesn't care what others think about it, unlike many ex footballers in media who are too scared to say anything bad about current footballers. Don't agree with Harmes comments though, Harmes is a good footballer, will go probably another 7-8 seasons and play over 250 for Demons, wouldn't be on too much, maybe $400k a season, why not give him a 5 year deal, don't see the issue here..

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
