Farewell James Harmes

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 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.

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.

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 😅

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

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.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
