We’ve lost the plot. Got rid of three firsts, Sweet and bringing in Harmes for 3+1 and Coffield who hasn’t played in two years.

Re: James Harmes
They discussed this on AFL trade radio just now that he was to come to the dogs in 2020 trade period but because we jumped at Ads hence it didn't eventuate.
Maybe they refreshed the conversation based on the past link/discussion. For me it's 2 years too late. Depth player or tagger but I felt like myself many times going after a bargain and bought it but in the end never or would get used once and throw away.

Thats the rumour. He's on 500k a year which is too much so he signs a contract when he gets here that spreads it out over a longer period of time, If he's no good that +1 shouldn't matter so a 3 year commitment
And since the list manager of the Dees spoke about letting him explore other options I think he comes over for free since we take that salary off their list.

Madness. This is madness.

Is the Footscray captaincy included in our offer?

Re: James Harmes
So we're courting a bloke who knocked back overtures from Essington a year ago and wasn't good enough to snatch a spot in a side that got turfed out in straight sets, again, not even as the freakin sub.
And perhaps most unforgivably, he grew up actually barracking for Melbourne.

Re: James Harmes
I propose this trade to have at least Libba sign-off or is this a result of Libba's request for a punching bag at training?

Look, at least now we have a genuine contest of clubs best rig.
Smith, Harmes or Buku...
Calenderer for all seasons has basically printed itself.

Re: James Harmes
I'm not against this as much as others but 3+1. We're the club that just keeps on giving!

I think our offer is 3 years+1, partly to flatten out his salary but all I can say is I hope he surprises us because that'll be a long time to have a list spot tied up on him. Maybe he's the next Dureya? Please?
I was talking Coffield.
I don?t think there?s anyone on the site who wants us to pick up Harmes.

Oh my bad.
Then I'd dispute that he was available all year. He played 4 VFL games at the very end of the season. Which itself is a mark against his body/durability. You're right he was dropped in 21 though.
