Career highlights

James Harmes (born 5 October 1995) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life

Harmes was raised in Devon Meadows, Victoria and attended both Hillcrest Christian College and Hallam Senior College for secondary school.[1] He played his junior football with the Devon Meadows Football Club, including eight senior games when he was 16.[1] He was recruited by the Dandenong Stingrays in 2012 to play in the TAC Cup as a bottom-aged player and played six games for the season.[2] He received mid-year state honours in 2013 by representing Victoria Country at the Under 18 Championships and played two matches.[3] He spent the majority of his final junior year playing for the Dandenong Stingrays, including the Grand Final loss to the Eastern Ranges,[4] in addition he received the Most Determined Award.[5]

AFL career

Harmes was drafted by the Melbourne Football Club with their first selection and second overall in the 2014 rookie draft.[1] In 2014, he spent the season playing in the Victoria Football League (VFL) for Melbourne's affiliate team, the Casey Scorpions; he punctured his lung in the middle of the season which left him injured for six weeks.[6] After playing with the Casey Scorpions for the first half of 2015, he was promoted to Melbourne's senior list in July, replacing the injured Jack Trengove,[7] and made his AFL debut in round 15 against Essendon at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[8] He played eight out of the nine remaining matches for the season after being rested for the round 22 match against Fremantle at Domain Stadium.[9] In the final round match against Greater Western Sydney at Etihad Stadium, he received praise from head football writer at the Herald Sun, Mark Robinson, for his tenacity and contested play.[10] After two seasons on the rookie list, he was promoted to the senior list in November.[6]

After the round seven, 73-point win against Gold Coast in 2016, he was named the round nominee for the Rising Star where he recorded 26 disposals, 3 goals, and 5 tackles.[11]
