Nah to HH.

Especially when Finlayson went for pick 50 odd. Bargain that.

Aliir too.

Should the Tigers chase Harry Himmelberg?

Callum Twomey's idea.

I would and I rate Harry H highly.

But we have nothing to offer trade wise so it is a mute point IMHO

HH is a free agent so no trade required

We must let Broady go as a FA and get a pick around 30 for it. He has been a wonderful servant  for us but something needs to give in order to get back into this draft.

I can’t see any other trade value for us unless we let Nano go, which the way he is playing might be an option.

Don't think we'd get pick 30 tbh

Add another $50,000 on Harry Himmelberg’s free agency contract after his remarkable match-winning (and saving) last two minutes against Hawthorn.

Sydney is keen, Adelaide is keen, GWS wants to keep him.

What better reminder that he can actually influence games for a club that might have to pay a total of $3.5 to $4 million for his services.

The Swans are keen to add Giants free agent Harry Himmelberg to their backline, according to veteran AFL reporter Damien Barrett.

Brisbane midfielder Deven Robertson looms as a player of interest for Victorian clubs, reports the Herald Sun.

Third club joins race for Himmelberg

Aidan Cellini
Sporting News
Apr 25


GWS free agent Harry Himmelberg will be one of the most sought after players come the end of the year, with three clubs rumoured to be circling.

Sydney and Richmond have been flagged as the two leading sides in the competition if Himmelberg opts to leave the Giants, while Brisbane is reportedly another one.

Journalist Mitch Cleary dropped the news on his new podcast called: Tradies podcast.

“There are a lot of clubs chasing him,” Cleary said.

“I’d have Sydney and Richmond right at the pointy end for Harry Himmelberg.”

Co-host Sam McClure added: “I’d have Richmond in front.”

“Not discounting a little dark horse in Brisbane,” Cleary added.

For Himmelberg, a switch to Punt Road would be aided by the fact that two great mates, Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper, made the move at the end of last year.

here we go another million dollar 8 year contract?

turns 27 this year . are we that close? No for me.

Id bank the cash and make a play for Ben King using dustys money.

If the pies can find duds like frampton and johnson to fill roles im sure we can.

Free agent Nathan Broad, 30, has interest to depart Punt Rd while the Tigers have met with GWS free agent Harry Himmelberg and could poach a third Giant in 12 months.

Sell whoever we can and get back into the draft.

Everyone is on the table for the right price.

Can't see us being any hope for Ben King.
