Mitch Cleary reporting Harmes has spoken with Essendon and is considering his options.

Currently contracted until end of 2024.

 

 
 

I wouldn't be happy with this one. Very versatile, we should hold him to his contract

Wow! A Dees supporting best 22 Premiership player possibly leaving, following on from Jayden and Jacko and also Bedford for more opportunities.

Don’t think I have seen this many regulars leaving in one off season.

I'd say the club is driving the move.

If he goes, that’s a cause for concern. What is going on internally that is making these players want out? Are there fractures within the group?

Mahoney trying to tap up his old contacts. I’ll volunteer to pack James’ bags for him.

 

Hooly dooly, this is unexpected! 

It's a bit of a cliche, but Harmes seems to be a heart and soul kind of player. Wonder what has happened for this to apparently occur?

Trade him in a heartbeat for Essendon's second

People complain about our skill issues for but when the Hunts & Harmes' of the world explore their options, the wrist slashing begins

I think we've been on the same page with most decisions 'red'. 

But this one I'm happy for the club to let go. 

Harmes has frustrated me for a good part of 3 years and he honestly won't be missed imo.

Footy is about business and not romanticism with who supported what club etc. 

Maybe we're clearing some space to bring in Finn Callaghan 😉

I’m very positive that this would be driven by the club. He’s contracted so we won’t do anything unless it suits us.

Must be the Curse of the CEO Mach? 

I don’t mind this. If we want picks and capital for a trade we need to give up good players but not core first 18 guys. Harmes is great and it might be a win win as he could be a regular midfielder at another club

would want something decent in return

Nothing.

We got found out in the back half of the year and we're trying to find another edge to make our list better. I'm sure this is club driven.

I like this one. I'll help @Mach5 pack his bags.


No no no no no. Absolutely no. Chompers is red and blue to his bones and belongs with us. And to %#@*ing Essendon!!

No no no no no.

Well that would put a smile on my dial.

However Harmes has been a good and versatile player for us.

Will be hard to see all of Jackson, Hunt, Harmes and Bedford in different colours 😞

All I can say is maybe we should be calling either Jack Graham's or Lachie Hunters Manager.

Also Paddy Dow for some outside run. 

Need a ready Made mid who is B or  A Grade

That last sentence doesn’t equate to those first three players mentioned 


Everyone wants to bring in a gun through trade but not happy to lose a top 25 player.

🤦🏼‍♂️Cmon mate pull it together. 

I get that most of Harmes' strengths we have plenty off, and he's coverable in many aspects

But the tagging element I feel is somewhat a competitive advantage for him, has been very useful against strong mids

 

I like Harmsey. An honest toiler, his strenghts and weaknesses are well known. If the deal is right for him and the club then good luck to him. If not and he decides to stick around well then i'm ok with that as well.

I think Jordan can fill that role

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
