One of my modern favorites. I can only wish him all the best at the kennel.

He'll always be a demon in my eyes.

Future third round! Not much return. Basically we have let him go for not much due to good service in the past.

 

Goes to the Bulldogs and instantly lifts their tattoo game by four ladder spots.

Really happy for him to have secured an extra two years on his contract.

He'll always be welcome back, that much is certain.

A favorite, pity.

Throwing his hand out at full speed and a beutifull pass   how can anyone forget that.

 

like Jack Watts drilling the goal against the pies with Chunk all by himself, but he was not going to miss.

 

Some you never forget.  That one for Harmes in the GF     forever a favorite moment

Pathetic trading from MFC. How does this make us better?

a future 3rd (somewhere in the late 40s ) isn't  likely  in itself to  lead to a team improvement but it will free up some salary cap space .Many here believed that Harmes 2019 extension was one year too generous and i think they were correct .Hopefully Lamb and Taylors present strategy is to free up salary cap space to make a run for an A grader late in the trade period.

$500k in salary cap for a Casey player?

The F3 for Harmes will probably get us Fullarton.  In terms of the list we need a fwd/ruck backup more than a depth midfielder so I reckon an F3 is a good result.  Not to mention the sal cap saving.

 

Having said that love Harmes and love his story of playing for his beloved Demons, the club he supported all his life and earning a flag with them.  He lived every kid's dream!!  He has come a long way since being rookied so really happy for him and what he has achieved. 

It wouldn't be easy for him to leave the Deesl.  Good luck at the Bulldogs!

Sad to see him go. Some players are so internally loved, they are heart-and-soul and are part of shaping the internal unity. I get this vibe from Harmes.

I'm also still a little unsure if losing all of Dunstan, Harmes and JJ equates to probable list improvement.  

THAT kick to Fritsch in the 2021 GF - the tide turned.

All the best, Chompers.

 

All the best JH, you'll always be a much loved Demon and a member of a specil club.

All the best at the dogs.


All the best James. You have been a premiership player as well as a very good footballer.  Not many people can say that.

Cheers

Always sad to see a great Melbourne man go but it’s understandable.  Harmes seems like a fantastic person and I wish him luck.

Everyone keeps quoting this figure like it’s a huge AFL salary. It’s the average player wage in 2022. 
 

Harmes in his best role is better than the average, Goodwin just doesn’t play him there. 
 

Lost Dunstan, JJ and now Harmes. So let’s say Vineys foot flares up and Sparrow is injured. Who goes into the midfield?

As for Simon Godwin’s coaching. It carry questionable and average at best.

Do you mean Melbourne's first premiership coach in over half a century who has coached a team to top 4 H&A three years in a row???

If we are going full Henny Penny, let's say Brayshaw doesn't make it back either.

Crazy Bevo has similar if not better record breaking claims. Do you think Bevo is a fantastic coach?

I don’t. 

Thank you for the wonderful memories Harmsey.

Perth 2021 GF was special in the flesh, lace out to Fritta, Peak Harmes in full flight, a sight to behold, been an absolute pleasure.

Premiership player for life. 🏆🥇🇱🇮

Not sure whether I should take anything from this, but haven't seen one story from MFC players on Insta regarding this....

May just be they are all on holiday and different timezone, but usually they are all sharing with their farewells...

Okay James.

Bailey Smith's ACL has just opened the door for Harmes at the Bulldogs while also reducing the chances that the trade could come back to bite us.

I'm still kind of hoping things work out well for Harmes individually. Especially if he has a bunch of performance triggers in his contract to soak up some salary cap space so that the Dogs can't afford to keep Tim English!

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
