This is one i don't want to see go through.  he is a very important cog in our rotations, and i love him.

That being said, if the reason he is looking around is because the club is in talks with a Tarryn Thomas/Duursma/Finn Callaghan type of player than i'll be sad to see him go but happy with an inclusion like one of those payers.

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 

Graham would definitely be an upgrade

Essendon is a good fit for him. They are crying out for bigger bodied mids. All of their starting mids are relatively small/short

There is a lot of young talent that played in a VFL Flag this year, that needs Senior Experience 

The Demons haven’t been this Proactive in years

Who do you like out of Mitch White, Jimmy Munro or Dunstan to step in to our midfield?

He's a fringe player who from memory is on pretty good coin.

If his departure allows us to improve the list then I'm all for it.  The club will have a plan.

We'll never forget ''that kick'', but Harmes is expendable.

I'm still positive his best position is in the guts, so wouldn't be surprised if he played career best footy in the midfield for Essendon.

As I said during the year I was told the club were going to offload 2-3 of our best 25 this trade period.

Hunt and Harmes were two of those players in consideration.

I’d personally like to retain Harmes, but these decisions are clearly being made for the greater good.

Not up too me Spence. But Harmesy was always Fringe or tagging. 
We got worked out this year. Changes are needed

Dunstan may well be very effective in Harmes Spot

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

Dont you consider Graham or Hunter ready made? Dow not quite so but in the system 3 years at least and has outside run to burn.

  • Grapeviney changed the title to James Harmes off to Essendon?

Not that I rate Harmes super highly, but Dunstan in for Harmes doesn't improve us.

Don't mind it. Sparrow and him are nearly identical and the FD clearly favour Sparrow over him. He would provide genuine grunt to essendon and would get the midfield minutes he wants. On our end, we have another spot for a mid with tidier disposal and a bit more leg speed.

The club would not entertain this if they didn’t have other plans in place. The club always goes into trades with a eye wining trade week. Not individual trades

Dunstan only got a game this year when Viney was out. 
He is a Tough nut Dunstan, he deserves a decent crack.
With all these changes it is going to be a very different side. 
We got Smashed in 2nd Halves for most of ‘22. The Finals were exactly the Same.

Dunstan and other Casey boys will get a run next year. Bedford and Hunty is why

If prefer not to lose him. He is versatile. I'd like to see him in the ANB role. Tank might need a bit of work but he is better in the air and better much at goal.

ANB roles revolves around pressure and his ability to never stop running.  Harmes cannot do this role

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

If it did happen to be Essendon’s 2nd, there’s our pick for Grundy.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
