Think they were happy to get the cash off our books.... maybe loading up for something this year or next.

 

Thinking we are happy to have the cap space at our disposal. $500k (if correct) a lot to have allocated to a VFL player. 

But who to use it on..?

 

Gone. F3rd.

Best of luck James for rest of AFL career.

So traded for a F3. Bulldogs will need to acquire more future picks.

Depending on how his contract was structured, future 3rd could be a good deal.

A future 3rd feels ok. Not amazing, not awful. 

We are seriously light on in the midfield with him, Jordon and Dunstan gone. They can’t all be replaced by draftees so we are going to have to find someone. 

I’m envisaging in 12 months’ time the media raving about him as a steal, the Bobby Hill of this year’s trade period, miraculously becoming a star and propelling the Dogs back into the top four. 

 

I didn't realise the doggies got GCs future 1st out of their trade for pick 4 yesterday. Future 3rd is probably fair given harmes is on 500k.

Grundy and Harmes alone brings us 1.15 mil in cap savings. Next year we should be making some big plays.

Thanks for bringing joy to 1000's of people James. You lived the dream of many supporters.

Good luck to you in your career going forward.

All the best.

Thanks James, an epic contribution to the club captured in one glorious grand final kick. Good luck and we look forward to seeing you back cheering on the Dees in due course. A heart that beats true.

The club told him that he's free to find a new home, so his trade value is nominal. Future 3rd seems about right.

thats how you get a deal done. I know they probably have been speaking before today, and we are happy to let Harmes go, but trade request goes in, a couple hours later deal is done.


Thanks James

I will never forget the clearance in the GF and subsequent pass to Fritta that started our charge to Grand Final Victory

One of my favorites - sad to see you go but wish you success. (Unless its vs us of course)

😢 💔

No it's tied to the bulldogs.

Under current rules, if you trade out a future 1st you can't trade out a future 2nd or 3rd unless you've replaced those picks.

Doggies got GCs future 1st from their trade yesterday so were allowed to trade their future 3rd without issue.

I missed that part of the deal.

So doggies got pick 4 and gcs future 1st for 10, 17 and doggies future 1st.

Doggies are doing well.

Harmesy WE LOVE YOU 

you started the 21GF avalanche with the iconic pass to Fritta 

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆21GF

A Dees supporter who got to live out our dreams.

152 games in the red and blue. 

See you later.
Always always welcome back ! 

Not at his best the last couple of years, but we'll always have Harmes to Fritta. 

Always. 

With a bit of a refresh/more game time, hopefully he can get back to his best footy. Will be great to see him do well, aside from against us obviously. 

Although I don't mind if he keeps up those direct i50 passes to Fritta.

Just a note that the Suns traded their future third round pick to the Dogs, not their first 

Otherwise the Dogs would have done ridiculously well 😅

This is my gut feel too. To let him go for so little seems weird.

On the other hand, he's given us great service for many years and I applaud the club for not standing in his way and just getting it done for his sake. 

All the very best Harmsey. You started a chain of events that brought limitless joy to thousands of Melbourne fans and you will always be a Premiership hero! 

 

 

Fourth player since the 2021 Grand Final to swap between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.

I still think he had a place in a run-with role while the likes of Noah Anderson and Butters tear us to shreds.

Don’t blame him for leaving, will always be a Melbourne player and played a key role in the premiership.

  • 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?
