    Are you Jumping on the Harmes Bandwagon

    Two pretty good games, are you jumping on the bandwagon, or is it still a wait and see?

    I was surprised we recruited him, but the last two weeks he has started to grow on me.

    I'm sold. Doesn't shirk a contest and can kick a goal, what's not to love.
    The curse is dead.

      Why not? Might as well be positive. Seems popular amongst the group too.

      We'll share the joy
      Just like '54 again.

        Yes because my demons friends said why couldn't he play like for us.
        So that's enough.

          Funny story at sponsors event they did the quick fire panel and one of the questions was which player do you want to play like...

          James said Toby Greene...

          500 people booed.

          He mouthed **** to Gaggs sitting next to him so hes learning the dogs culture the hard way.

            I have always thought he was a good get , hard in which is what we needed , must say I thought he would play in the middle but we need hard at it all over the ground so we found where he works best.

              Really liked his game last night. He's starting to win me over.

                Not sure it needs a separate thread to the other one, but yes, the match making between him and us in building nicely. We seem to have got him in the right role and it’s beginning to click.

                  I'm applying a bastardised 20 game rule.

                  I got on board with Baker and Poulter and I don't think they're it.

                  I'm willing to give HD's man the benefit of the doubt but I'm holding off any commitment for a while. I've been hurt before.

                      I’ve shown the ultimate buy-in with my avatar. I expect soon number 22 badges will be outselling those of Bont.

                      From the outside, in his Melbourne days he always struck me as typical of their arrogance. Maybe it’s his appearance in afore-mentioned avatar. Maybe it’s that I wasn’t sure what he would bring to the table, and then that he played a shocker on debut. Maybe it’s those outsized teeth. Maybe it’s just always hard to warm to new guys especially when they were part of a team that delivered one of our most recent painful humiliations, and without a skerrick of evidence I could imagine him in that jeering ‘Free from desire’ circle.

                      But yeah. I guess it’s all a bit unfair on the guy. He’s definitely added something in our last two weeks. That’s about as gushing as I can get right now but it’s a lot more positive than I was three weeks ago.

                              I had the other view. Didn't think he would be much good for us. But he has proved me wrong fortunately.

                              Has had a great couple of weeks.
