Late mail from the experts seems to be that we'll take Himmelberg - who, based on what little I've seen, is a slow as stuff tall forward who looks shyte...

Must be him then!

[MintOnLamb]

Himmelberg = Hindenberg = crash and burn

[🏅Dooks]

Pepper Powell aka Pepper pig aka Herbert Powell with our 1st.
 
Reckon we will take a KPP/Ruck prospect (eg Ratugolea,Marshall or even Cameron if they last) with our second and best avail at third pick.

[one-eyed]

Callum Twomey has us selecting Himmelberg with our first pick.




ELLIOT HIMMELBERG
4/6/98, 196cm, 89kg
Redlands

Injury in the second half of the season has meant Himmelberg has been a little out of sight and out of mind. But he has been on Richmond's radar for a while and he would suit their need for another versatile tall option. The younger brother of GWS academy recruit Harrison, who joined the Giants last year, is in the open draft pool after shifting to Queensland in the past 12 months. He can play at both ends of the ground, take a good mark overhead and is dangerous around goal.

If not him? Cedric Cox is a possibility, as is Shai Bolton if he's there. That would be a tight decision. An inside midfielder like Joe Atley or Dylan Clarke could also be a useful fit, and the Tigers also chatted with Brisbane Lions academy defender Declan Watson this week.

Rotham's another we've been linked to at 27....

@TheHornyLlamas    HIMMELBERG good? Looks crap

@BrettAndersonIF    based on what?

‏@TheHornyLlamas  crap a bit harsh but generally players who dont even really have a best position are average. Surely much better options at

@BrettAndersonIF   Carlisle didn't have a best position at same age. Himmelberg has similar size and aggression

‏@TheHornyLlamas  do you actually rate him? He seems like another todd elton

‏@BrettAndersonIF   He's got some good attributes. Played champs with fractured leg

‏@TheHornyLlamas  if we didn't take him would he be there at our 3rd? 56

‏@BrettAndersonIF  No

Now Emma Quayle has us taking Himmelberg as well.....with Pepper-Powell still on the board...woah FJ's parting gift...

[the claw]

Some guys who may still be there at 29.
Powell-pepper
Koby Mutch
Daniel Venables
Brandon Parfitt
Would be happy with any of them.Normally i dont look at smalls so early but i really like the look of Parfitt.

key defender Logue and key fwd Marshall would be great fits for us but i dont think either will be there.

I wonder if anyone thinks Luke Ryan a 20 yr old worth looking at.
Three mature players i hope we  look at  Brody Mihocek Timm House and Jye Bolton.Also dont mind the idea of us looking at Tom Stewart as a mature recruit as well.

stuff it.
Why not!
He looks like a Nutter, so we will know what to do at least

So has Sam Landsberger in the Herald-Sun. So with Twomey's phantom draft, that's 3 from 3 saying we will select Himmelberg with our first pick.

[tony_montana]

We obviously have a mole in the ranks, every year our number 1 priority is nailed by the media.

[MintOnLamb]

Looks ok, must be something wrong with him, injury, depression, drugs.
More interesting is how this has got to the media.

SPP according to Emmas phantom draft will not be on the board.
