    Would definitely be a good get! Only knock on him is he averages less than a goal a game. But 24, super athletic.

    has never had a consistent run at it

    reckon he could be good

    Well done Harmesy!!

    He could always finish

    being a consistent performer was the issue

    Hunner percent. Tough competition with Hogan, Riccardi and Stringer in that forward line.

    To think we let Harmes go and kept Hunter

    Kennedy is in the top 40 players in the league this year, I was pretty surprised that Carlton let him go.

    How’s the KPF depth at Doggies.

    JUH out for a KPD will do the dogs a lot of good. They won’t win a flag without a proper full back.

    The guy I think we got wrong and I always had a lot of time for (and was one of our few goalkicking midfielders) is Harmes. We miss what he can provide, plus another around the ground mid rotation. I'd have him ahead of Sharp for example.

    Of course Harmes was a considered a liability , banished to Casey and told to seek opportunities elsewhere.

    After signing with the Dogs … “I felt like I could really belong to this club and feel like they really believed in me. They do believe in me that I can be a really good AFL footballer”.

    Traded to Dogs in exchange for a future third-round pick (which the Dees used with future 1st in a 4 pick bundle to get higher draft pick in 2024 draft)

    3/4 time Dogs v Giants

    Harmes 4 goals 15 possessions, 80% disposal efficiency, 10 score involvements

    I assume you are intelligent person

    Harmes left as he couldn’t hold down a spot in the 22. Same as he has been dropped by the dogs. If you don’t remember all his poor games, I can refresh your memory

    Hunter was brought in to fill a hole on the wing

    2 separate situations

    I understand his trading was cultural, but still...

    you just forgot to mention he only managed 9 games last year and has been dropped multiple times

    So banished to Casey and to the Dogs VFL team so maybe a Harmes issue

    one premiership between em

    Harmes 4 goals V GWS. Very pleased for him. He turned the '21 GF with his beautiful pass to Fritter in Q3.

    The players we’ve traded in have been a massive failure no doubt, but we traded out Harmes at the end of 2023 and if you look at player ratings that year, he was rated 30th out of a possible 34 players on our list.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
