Traded #4 James Harmes – traded to Bulldogs. Thanks for 'that' kick. You know the one.

If you took a snapshot of the last 6 weeks he would be winning or bnf. Playing some really good football, flying under the radar in the wider afl community.

His kicking is up there with melksham, lowers his eyes and hits targets. Strong and composed. Good overhead, can kick a goal. Stops His opponents and wins his own footy.

I wonder how much Brendan McCartney deserves credit for this. I also reckon he flies under the radar.

Chomp is easily the most inproved in the comp

 

[Jon Koncak]

Has been trending up nicely in a variety of roles. Has been great as a tagger role which is excellent given (a) other than Bern and maybe Melk in a fwd tag role, we don't really have one and (b) even while tagging he has shown the ability to damage the other way.

His poise and then skill execution to hit Kent up for the sealer was excellent and not something I thought he had him last year.

As great as it would be no club is going to field 22 superstars. We look like we could have a few on our hands but it will be equally important to have second and third tier guys that are quality. He's looking the goods in that capacity.

 

[Bazza97]

He's starting to become one of my favourite players right now. Have loved seeing him improve his game, he's had a quality year overall.

 

[Topkent]

I'll keep pushing this narrative until someone agrees with me, he could be a star, has all the tools to make it mixed with that arrogance on field you need.

 

[HANDSOLO]

Can someone dig up that post from a year or two ago on the Carlton draft page written as him talking about his training and improvement (it was a loss take obviously)

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

I’ve always agreed.

His mental errors were the question.

I’ve always agreed.

That's always the unknown. Reckon there are alot of players with his skillet who will never work hard enough to make it and as fans we can never predict who will but Harmes has the talent

 

[Dark Avenger]

I agree with everyone how great he has been but one thing he needs to fix is his handballing. So often he misses targets or handballs it to a teammates feet. It's strange how he seems to make so many skill errors with something so simple.

yep his handballing sucks, but he did have a broken hand not that long ago so maybe that still a contributing factor.

 

[fushy]

Only a face his mother (and 44000 Melbourne members) could love.

 

[Topkent]

He just keeps getting better, he was un****ing touchable today. As good a Melbourne game as I can remember.

Almost time to rename our BNF after him

 

[rhaz]

Holy ****ing shit he was good today.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Was Dustin Martin like today.

 

[degustation]

Was Dustin Martin like today.

Except his tatts are better

 

[Topkent]

When people were giving him shit for getting caught holding the ball last year I loved it, once he got the strength and confidence he was gonna start breaking those tackles. Same could be said to me with weid and his marking.

Harmes is a ****ing gun though, I wanna officially make him my favourite player but I'll end up cursing him like Kent/Tapscott/Moloney/Farmer.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Hats off to Goodwin, Harmes improvement under him has been pretty amazing

 

[Fork n Hell]

Maccas pet

 

[stEdy]

Confirmed new Dusty

 

[mrmonkey]

Wow that was quite a display almost makes you forget we're missing Viney. His second half of the year has been epic.

 

[TheCount]

Confirmed new Dusty

Or is Dusty the old Harmes?

 

[Dark Avenger]

When did Harmes re-sign. Was it before his current form? If so we are laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[Scythe]

With love, I nicknamed him “Shit Dusty” earlier this season when he began a bizarre overuse of ineffective don’t argues.

Keeps this up, and I’m calling Dusty “Shit Harmes.”

Wow. Improved out of sight.
