If the role was just to be a marking target up forward Burgess might be the guy, but Himmelberg has been good today around the ground. You can really see the difference in mobility versus Burgess in particular. It's just a placeholder role but I think it's pretty clear that picking Himmelberg was the right call.

He's been involved, just never as the last option in a scoring chain.
Watching Tex gives me hope that Fog's best footy might come closer to 30.
The question will be how patient we're willing to be.

I reckon it was our best shape for the year.

A win is never a bad thing. EVER. Nicks is not going to get sacked when they’ve just signed his extension so you folk need to just accept that.
ROB is 16th in the AFL for marks apparently. I assume that is for pigeon-toed ruckmen.

Berg is currently the best option we have sure, and is actually decent depth. But he’s also 8 years into his career and we can put a line through him being anything more than depth. Gollant has the hardest break in our list being behind Walker, Fogarty and TT despite past reserves form warranting a first 22 gig.
In a year where we won’t be achieving anything, is the slight short term gain we get plugging in Himmelberg better than finally giving Gollant an extended run at it?

Only the Roos but big Daws has over 600m gained at half time...
250+ more than the next best. I can't even run that far without pinging a hammy (250 that is)

He was touted as a raw Stevie Johnson when drafted, and I think that's his role as an impact player. He actually can take a good contested mark as well.
Lol yeah. That Freo game was woeful. Freo weren't playing that well either.
It's embarrassing that he still gets a game.

? Is Nicks a little emotional?
For me this is his best role in the team, I think he’ll always be inconsistent and float in and out of games but he’ll be dangerous in F50 and a hard match up for defenders.

Wasn't Burgess 2x leading VFL goal kicker?

My post was more those claiming Berg is only playing well beating up on poor opposition... but Fog hasn't even been able to do this.
His form is a worry so let's hope he can have a better 2nd half.
Looking forward to seeing that. I've yet to see him hit a contest hard or stick a tackle.

Max changed at the last second to put that to Walker's advantage, and Tex didn't compete
Crouch back to his old half-arsed stretch the arms out tackling
I never said we should drop him, I just said Berg's game today is better than anything from Fog all season
horrid again by Berg to get outsmarted at HF
