Harmes was good last week at half back. I think they will persist with him.

Most looked ok to good last week W.  And so they should given the team we were playing hadn't won a match to that point and of their 22 more than half (13 to be exact) were rookies vs our 5.

Lockhart is playing in a similar defensive role as a rookie and doing just as well, even a tad better imv.

The obvious in is Rivers for Harmes who moves into the mid to replace Jack.  They play a similar game in terms of their capability to push forward and impact on the scoreboard.

Harmes is terrific, sure. Harmes is a good tagger. Harmes surprises with his height - capable of good spoils and contested marks. Harmes ain't no backman. 

Harmes needs to go back to midfield and forward duties, creating opportunities and forward line 'gets'. 

This post needs more 'Harmes'

    Yep round 1 3 of his touches.... resulted in goals to West Coast!

    Yeah, cleverly done, mate. Viney and Langdon were the only two to show up that game.

    How about look at when our forwardline and forward half has functioned properly. Spargo was a big part of that.

    They should give Tom McDonald a run on the wing. He’d be better than both Langdon and Tomlinson. 
    He might run into form maybe even kick a goal.

    At the moment TMac can barely run at all.

    His form is poor but I suspect there an underlying medical/injury issue. It's more than form when you turn from an elite athlete to a plodding draughthorse.

    Ok when the team was firing he played a part, and was "Handy" no more no less! If players like Spargo are getting a game then we are really behind the eight ball. Many others who have got pace would easily be prefered. I have mentioned others Jordan, Bedford, Rivers, Hunt. Get games into them. Thats my take

    I think they added Lever and Melksham to the leadership group a few weeks back, so assume it would be one of them. I’d prefer May, personally.

    Do you believe in systems in sport, mate? All teams need role players. Spargo needs to improve on getting more of the ball and penetration in his kicking. Spargo is a kid too. I understand you don't like Spargo, but he showed a lot in his first year and had a dip, like many of our guys, last year - his second year. We have a dearth of pressure half forwards and have too many guys we're trying to run through half back at the moment. Adding Jordon at this stage seems a strange move to me.

    If they don't play Preuss firstly I don't know why he is on the list and secondly it would be a big mistake to play Tommy he is no ruckman. I don't think Jackson is ready to shoulder the ruck load yet.

    but isn't preuss one of the 29 NOT in adelaide?

    or was it just general demonland scuttlebutt

    Is already being in Adelaide a prerequisite to playing? If he’s in the Qld hub, surely he can just fly in.

    true

    i dunno, i'm just presuming we have the bfg for no reason and they'll stick with the more 'mobile' option

    although personally i would think that preuss would be more 'mobile' than t mac so who knows

    Given the way Max looked in the game against Adelaide, surely you would have him there for insurance!!!

    Yeah I mean our opponent are flying in. I can’t imagine it would be too difficult to get an extra man on a charter flight. 
    The issue I have is, given Gawn was sore going to Adelaide and carrying an injury, why wouldn’t they take Preuss to Adelaide? If they haven’t it suggests to me they won’t want him to play.

    This is one of the single worst takes I've ever seen on Demonland, and that's saying something.

    Ive seen it suggested a fair few times in recent weeks.  The problem is that some people are thinking of 2018 T mac, not the current one with a turning circle of a Boeing 747 and who has lost all his leap and agility.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
