Re: James Harmes

All good bud and no need to apologise.

I've been taking a bit of a hard line on things recently and it's just mainly due to the season being pretty dour (not the ex-Carlton guy) and being worn out by the negativity. Pluralism is what makes this site great.

That'd be Doull. He was a dour type of player though

Not Paddy Dour......

I mean if I meant Bruce Doull I'd look foolish because the Flying Doormat was as hard as they come. He probably invented using sugar soap for the body, beard and balding combo he's that hard.

He was as hard as a cat's head the Flying Doormat. Right up until Simon Beasley kicked 9 on him in his 300th game in R1 1985

Rock Hudson

He was married to Gomer Pyle. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Not sure your memory is on point with this one TD.

Yeah/no you're right. It was his 329th game.

It was a milestone for Doull though he overtook John Nicholls game record at Carlton that day.

Re: James Harmes

Just saw a lad (Jon) who must be a huge James Harmes fan on Twitter, he must have been a Melbourne supporter, he saw James has moved to the dogs and now calls him the hot dog and I think James sent him a bulldog jumper.
From what I can gather Jon is well loved by the Melbourne faithful and they all have wished him well in following James .
Lovely little story how sport brings joy to everyone .
Excuse my ignorance if everyone knows of him. Warms the heart.

I'd forgotten about that relationship. This is the first piece of evidence that has swayed me to "maybe he's not as much of a w**ker as I thought".

According to the tweet with Jon in the jumper it was the local policeman who got him the jumper

Re: James Harmes

Just read an SEN article where Cooney reckons Harmes is a solid replacement for Dunkley as that two way / defensive minded mid that we lacked this year. Not suggesting they’re at the same level, but it’s not a bad shout

Amazed I agree with Cooney on something, but here we are.

We ended up missing Junkley a lot more than we anticipated eh?

We sure did. I reckon he would have been the difference on 2 or 3 games we lost this year.

Saw that and thought the same.

Cooney coming around to the Dogs a bit? Hope so.

His son will be in the RW&B in two years time, I hope so too.

Re: James Harmes

Did he have some sort of falling out with some other members of the Melbourne team, at one stage? If so that makes him a good guy
