    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
