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: 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?
