Farewell James Harmes

I'm surprised we never tried playing Harmes as more of a forward over the last couple of years. 

He's always been a good mark overhead and has a knack of finding the goals.

    Should've sent Tomlinson to North for pick 2 when we had the chance 😆

    When were we offered pick 2 for Tomlinson?

    I generally agree and think that's his best spot (despite inaccuracy in front of goals late this season). But in reality Sparrow held that forward/midfield rotation position and was in better form than Harmes.

    He can't play ANB or Pickett's roles. He doesn't play Fritsch or Melkshams role. And he doesn't play Petty, Brown or TMacs role. And ultimately they went with Spargo, Woewodin or Laurie ahead of him at times as the 7th option.

    It's a surprisingly tough forward line to crack!

    Had several chances to hit the scoreboard late in the season and blew them all from memory. Richmond and Hawthorn games? 

    But I agree, he is/was good overhead for his size.

    He got figured out. Didn’t add any strings to his bow. Honest trier but not much more.

    You saying a hard tag? 

    Actually, I thought he had a real future as a tagger

    Was fantastic in GF

    All the best James, always a demon premiership player. If Oskar Baker can get 18 senior games in 2023. I'm sure you'll get more than you did this year

    Bulldogs have 39, 47 and 52.

    The will need to keep approximately 1000 draft points (based off a bid at 13 and 20% discount)

    39, 47 and 52 = 1008 points.

    They've traded their future 1st so can't trade a f2 or f3. 

    Interesting to see how this trade gets done.

    Also a knack for getting in the bloody way!

    Any player we might be interested in?

    Going to be quite thin on for midfield depth without Dunstan, JJ and Harmes.

    Straight swap with the Bont seems fair

    How does going to the Bulldogs help Harmes get regular midfield time? Surely their midfield is equal to ours, and probably bats deeper.

    Regardless, we are seriously lacking midfield depth and anyone thinking that Laurie might ever be an AFL midfielder is delirious. Woewodin may get there in a couple of years, and Howes is not an inside mid.

    Love Harmsey and wish him all the best, but:

    1 - I hate Bevarage and the Dogs

    2 - How does this make any sense for him.  No more opportunities at the dogs is there?

    Who is even left as depth? Laurie, Woewodin? Yet to debut - Howes, Moniz-Wakefield?

    Concerning.

    If we didn't get Fullarton I'd be interested in Jordon Sweet as a young promising ruck - always going to be bridesmaid to English

    Would be ironic if they give us the Pick (Future 4th) we traded for Schache last year.

    In reality, one of their third round picks probably gets it done.

    Wonder if we could do Harmes and 41 for 39 & 52?

    52 would be fodder for a Brown bid match.

    Hopefully he gives all his stuff to Jon Amos

    All the best Harmesy.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
