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 😅

Are you sure? From the afl trade tracker website.

Western Bulldogs receive:

a first-round pick (currently No.4), two third-round picks (currently No. 46 and 51) and a future first-round pick (tied to GC)

 

Gold Coast Suns receive:

two first-round picks (currently No.10 and 17) and a future first-round pick (tied to WB)

Looks like they have since edited it to future third:

The Suns have also traded their future third-round pick to the Dogs as part of the deal.”

 

I hope this works:

Thanks, James. The highlight among what I'm sure we could eventually recall as many more for the Demon boy who became a Demon man.

was GC future 3rd???

My apologies, I got my info wrong (so did the afl trade tracker). Not sure if it's doggies or suns 3rd rounder as it doesn't specify.

One of the great footy stories.

Probably my favourite bloke in the club in terms of his happy demeanor, never-say-die attitude and work ethic.  Then again there's Piggy and Clazz!  Hard to split.

I recall the first year wondering who this Harmes kid was at Casey (or was it Sandy back then?).  Any relation to Wayne Harmes?  If so what's he doing at the Demons?

Had his ups and downs early but eventually found his feet.

Remembering that he started 2021 under an injury cloud.

Stuck his head down at Casey for a few matches and showed the FD he was ready again.

In he came and the rest is history.

The steal in the GF to turn things was a piece of football magic / folklore that all Demon faithfull will never forget.

Thanks for the premiership and truly wish you much success at the Doggies.  Thank Lucifer it wasn't the peptides.

F3rd sounds about right.

Again shows roughly what McAdam is worth.  Sad to see Harmsey in other colours but all the best to him, has been one of my favourite over the years.

 

Underrated Harmes game was 2018 elimination final against Geelong. Kept Selwood quiet, then had a crucial moment in the third quarter. Got lippy at Selwood while running to the boundary, Melksham got involved and Selwood ended up giving away a free for high contact.

This was 100m off the ball, which was in Tom Hawkins' hands lining up for a regulation set shot. The moment possibly won us the game.

Fourth player once 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.

And Sam Walsh who destroyed us in the semi final and did what he liked.

In a perfect world, Harmes keeps Butters to 20 and 1 goal instead of 40 and 2 in round 10 and we win. He also prevents Walsh from getting that early goal in the last quarter and snuffing out Carlton's early last quarter burst.

However, the club doesn't tag/run with and thus there was no role or future for a below average skilled player in Harmes.

Future 3rd tied to the bulldogs.

Good get for the Dogs tbh - 28 year old mid with power, pace, and aerial prowess with 150 games. 

Always felt our midfield was better with him as the 4th / 5th. I know he tried too much this year, but feels a loss overall to me.

Round 23 2018 V GWS and then week 1 2018 elimination final was peak James Harmes.

I think he polled 8-10 coaches votes in both games.

Not surprising he signed a long term contract in 2019 given he was at the peak of his form.

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.


No, it’s a F3 from GC, allowing the dogs to then trade their own F3.

I bet they wish it was a F1.

I knew I had forgotten one from the finals, you’re spot on.

Never forgot that pass to Fritta in the GF, was a good servant and wish him well.

Hope he can take out Weightman if he gets the chance.

He had a purple patch in 2018 where for a while there he was playing like a top 5 player in the league.

Thanks James for being the Demon i admired during the time i was alive for my favourite season of football that was 2021. Good luck in your future endeavours with the Dogs. You deserve it. 

Imagine living the dream of playing for the team you supported as a kid and being involved in the pivotal play the turned the game that won the club's first flag in 57 years .

Thanks Chompers for your contribution and I hope you go well at The Dogs 

 

The journey continues Harmesy. Good luck for the future.

No one will ever take away your Premiership and we will always be thankful for your pivotal part in it.

Always a demon. Go well .

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
