Recommitted James Harmes [OOC 2024]

[Chaisa]

Interesting. Seems like Melbourne are shedding a heap of depth.

Would be a decent fit there given that their midfield seems too attacking.

 

[Mich0]

Worth a late 1st as is contracted

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Pick 22 or next years second

Some one on Bomberblitz called it last nigh surprised it took this long for the media

More than happy to get him our midfield needs some hardness and a big body

 

[Daemon]

Best 22. Don't want to see him gone. Would probably need to be late first or early second but hope he stays regardless.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Pick 22 or next years second

Either would be overs i reckon but might take that to get him out of his contract.

Best 22, premiership player, coming into his prime and contracted.

Being contracted for at least 2 more years would mean we would push for slightly overs. Being a late first rounder.

 

[adonski]

Pick 22 is fair.

Suspect we'll just trade that on for Grundy.

Would get eaten up by the Davey bid anyway so happy to trade it

Yep, should be a win/win trade

22 for Harmes bit high more like pick 30 if you rate Harmes and Amon I imagine Amon would rate bit higher

Amon was a free agent, Harmes is a contracted player. Big difference.

 

[Mich0]

Amon was a free agent, Harmes is a contracted player. Big difference.

The recipient of the Amon transaction also had no say in what the compensation would be

 

[master bate]

Worth about pick 30 assuming a neutral contract.

Would hate to lose him without a replacement.

True but still the quality of the player will speak 22 is still high

 

[Warhorse]

Not sure why melb would allow this to happen. Very important player with front runners like Oliver and petracca in the midfield.

Sparrow plays a similar role and Brayshaw, who'd been back, pushed Harmes out of a midfield rotation late in the year.

If we can free up some cap space to bring Hunter in to play on a wing opposite Langdon it makes sense.

James Jordon can also cover Harmes' role.

 

[Mich0]

Wonder if pick 13 and Harmes could be traded for pick 7. Might be the angle dees are looking at

 

[willsy4]

The cultural problems at Melbourne laid bare

The cultural problems at Melbourne laid bare

In what way?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Off loading Harmes would help with Grundys contract

 

[willsy4]

In what way?

So many want out

 

[Jordie_tackles]

So many want out

Lobb, Logue, Meek, Tucker, Acres?

 

[Trav 20]

So many want out

Fringe players being pushed out.

We are a small unsuccessful club in a remote market, happens to us all the time.
Doesn't happen to big successful clubs unless there are other issues, in this case cultural.
