Was Harmes training? Just interested to see that he's not even on the emergency list this week?

I did not see Harme's at either session.

    Someone here earlier this week posted Harmes was sick kev, can’t remember the poster’s name. Could explain his absence.

    Joel Smith dominating up forward, after about 9 years at the club, would have to be more than a dream.

    We'll see. 

    I'm pretty confident he's get his chance. 

    And sooner rather than later.

    In teh absence of BBB and TMac knocking the door down for selection, J Smith is a good athlete and has good strength. Allows us to use Petty down back.

    Only ? will be his footy smarts at the forward and not letting his man work off him.

    Well 4 he hasn’t.

    Not saying he couldn’t fill in, but the suggestion was “ dominate “.

    I guess whenever he (Joel Smith) has been able to play he has spent most of his time in defence, so his defensive skills should serve us well if he were a forward.

    Joel Smith will likely get his chance in the coming weeks. He better grab it with both hands and not break his thumb in the process

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
