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.

    Third club may get involved?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
