Was my all time favourite player

Me too. Hated reading that.

Yeah this came up back on TBV IIRC. I've also read David Schwarz is a Hawthorn supporter having grown up in the hawks cheer squad.

Mixed feelings though isn't it.

He was one of my favourite players.

You have to admire anyone who is genuinly passionate about a club.

You also have to admire the way he went about his footy if his heart truly was not a part of the club. He never shirked an issue on the field for the Blues.

i thought this was common knowledge.

i don't really care as i never barracked for him but i couldn't care who he barracks for after watching the replay of the 79 granny on channel 7 a few weeks back.

If anything, it makes the Bichmond fans spew harder, not us.

Bit like mandy playing for Carlton, isn't it?

We know she'd give her best, despite supporting, well, the worst.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

This is becoming predictable. Every year Carl v Rich they dredge this story up. Old news. Harmes dislike of the footy is even older news.

Queue the '79 GF thanks.

I can understand why he supports Richmond - it is a family thing for him.
Len Smith coached Richmond and who you love as a kid usually is your club of choice.

However, he played for Carlton, he excelled for Carlton and he is one of the main reasons I am a Carlton supporter. Still my favourite player - even if he supported North Albury, Wentworth, Richmond, Swan Districts or any other club over and above Carlton.


Imagine if Paul McCartney said his favourite band over and above The Beatles was the Beach Boys or the Rolling Stones or whoever, it still doesn't change the fact that his legacy was in the Beatles.

Harmesy's favourite club may be Richmond - but he played for Carlton. End of story.

GO Beatles...............!


kindest regards tommi

I'm glad I didn't know about that when I put his name & # on the back of my duffle coat back in 1978.

Goddard loves Carlton, Kouta loves Collingwood, Murph loves North etc....I'm sure he didn't feel like a Richmond supporter when he blanketed KB in 1982GF.

I'm sure as a professional sportswoman I would give my best. And I'm sure the rest of the girls playing there would make me feel very welcome.

one of your better efforts Mandy,

Richmond supporter The night the vote of no confidence was passed against John Elliot in 2002, I saw Wayne Harmes there with a Visy jacket on. You've got to be kidding me!

1945 - End of round 3 Carlton was last.

Last round Carlton made the final four for the first time.

Eventual premiers.

That's what I'm talking about!

Maybe I'm suspicious but I suspect a giant piss take...?

Err that was poorly worded but you get the drift.

The Newman family, Chris included (deep down) are Carlton through and through, especially his grandma.
Georgie Bissett, a Footscray legend, barracks for Essendon*.
Phil Carman always wanted to play for Carlton.
None of which matters. What does matter is the Blues beating the Tigers this week.

who cares who he supported, he was part of winning premierships for us, that's all that matters ...

in the bigger scheme of things and time ....the Club is bigger than any player

One word ... Traitor!

A GREAT servant of the CFC!!

Always put in 100%.

3 Premierships for the Blues...that's all I wanted from him.

Always will be a Harmes supporter for all the joy he gave me. I never will be a Harmes Tigers supporter.

Big difference.

PS: I now understand why he snotted a few and broke a few bones of upcoming Carlton players during the preseason intra club games. If only we knew that back then. Doesn't matter now.
