Welcome to the Bulldogs James Harmes

[Bulldogs85]

Is he part native American?

Don’t think so

 

[geoffjennings79]

Don’t think so

Was only (half) joking. American native headress tattoos are seen as cultural appropriation and offensive by many these days - too late now! Not the first AFL player to sport them, and likely not the last.

Anyway, don't want to derail the thread, sorry.

I did see Jay Kay from Jamiroquai got criticised for some of his American native inspired headwear. The name Jamiroquai is inspired by an American native tribe though.

I'm still not convinced this is the best use of trade capital / list spots / salary cap.

Hope he proves me wrong.

I was already on board with the acquisition of Harmes, but particularly after todays tragic news of Bailey Smith's ACL, he's going to be very important this year.

I just re-read this thread and not much info from Dee fans as to why they let him go. Anyone have Dees mates who have given a reliable critique?

Rumours of substance issues, but I stress rumours.. lots of mixed stuff about him that has been around in circles over the last few years.

Dees would be casting most of the list out if that were the basis.

Bit disappointed to hear him say "we do more running" referring to the Demons. He quickly corrected himself and mentioned them as "they" and the Bulldogs as "we" but the Freudian slip was evident to the astute. Clearly still thinks of himself as a Demons man, which is quite sad. I'm sure he will get along well with Treloar and they can bond over how much they miss and still love their old clubs.

How’s the transition to Tassy Devils going Scrag? Are they “us” yet?

Was that worth a whole article? They must be short of news!

Thought he went alright last night. Would like to see a few more CBAs?

 

[maddog37]

Played his role quite well. I like his combativeness.

 

[BEaston]

We need his hardness in the team as we generally lack it across the park. However he will still need to contribute in other areas to hold his spot.

We should have harnessed him to rein in Serong or Fyfe.
