Take it you have only looked at his VFL statsIs this guy any better than Toby McLean who already doesn't get a game for the dogs?
I'm asking. If you take out the sub games @ AFL level the numbers are pretty similar though?
Did his knee 2 years in a row and has lost all speed and agility racks up big numbers in the 2s but gets caught out now at AFL level
He is a dud, bloke takes an eternity to make a decision, it ends up being the wrong one and is horribly executed.

McLean has done two ACL’s, has taken it’s toll.

This is exactly what Doggies needed
A soft outside runner who cant win a clearance.
Terrible career move from Harmes. He will be dropped by Round 4 never to be seen again

If Harmes is soft then so is 99% of the league. He's as tough as nails.

Is Bevo actively trying to get the sack... This guy sucks.
Are you talking about the right guy? Harmes a alot of things but he's neither soft or an outside runner.

Ive done turds with more girth then the guy. He is a outside runner who aint winning a clearance.
He did win 100 of them in 2019

He's primarily defensive based. His contested possession rate over his career is a little under 41%. Just because he isn't primarily a ball winner doesn't make him "soft" or "outside".

I think he is a good runner on the outside, can do a tagging job but this move is moronic. Doggies don’t need him is all I’m saying

So he wasn't a "soft outside runner who can't win a clearance" in 2019, but he is now?
It sounds like you were just thinking of the wrong player, or you don't know who Harmes is. And that's OK, probably easier to just admit it and move on though.

Defensive inside mids don't necessarily need to be taggers. He's pretty much the perfect third for a Bont/Libba trio as he can cover the defensive aspect of the stoppage.
He's not an outside player at all.
I am not sure if this move makes a lot of sense for the Bulldogs.
Or Harmes for that matter if he has serious ambitions of playing at AFL level next year. I have no idea who he immediately replaces in their lineup.
I like him, I hope he does well. Wish him all the best.

He moved spot from a inside mid to outside over the last 4 years. Most of his recent games were of HFF in a defensive role.l.

Bulldogs have a lack of inside depth. Their top end of Treloar, Bont, Macrae and Libba is good but there's not much behind that and all are aggressive players rather than defensive like Harmes. It's a good move, brings more balance to their midfield.
