Free Agency Elliott Himmelberg - Joins Gold Coast as UFA

[Mr MysteryGuest]

What do you think we are offering him contract wise to make it worth anything?

enough to get at leastband 5.

I think it's more likely to be a trade now.
Assuming Cumming or Perryman go, which is looking increasingly likely, it will benefit the giants to trade, because they will lose one of the compensation picks if they sign him as an FA.

Can we go lower than the pick we got from Carlton in one of those trades a few years ago ... think it was Rhys Palmer who beat the record for the lowest pick ever traded? #135 or something!

Sure pick 34 + 178

Cheers. Thanks for playing!

Please throw a silly contract at him so we get something decent as a compo pick...please..pretty please

Phil Davis’ man bun for Elliot ?

Toby Green instead?

I mean as the old saying goes..'if you don't ask......'

You asking for Toby Greene or Tom Green?

Either way no.
But yes doesn’t hurt to ask

No no, happy to find a Toby Green and give him to the Crows.

 

[1990crow]

He's a depth player. Given we don't have huge depth in his position it's actually not ideal.

But if the Crows get Lukosius they'd have Thilthorpe, Fogarty, Lukosius, Walker, Murray jnr and young Welsh on the list.

If GWS offered something like pick 40 odd you'd be ok with that.

Why would they offer anything, he is an unrestricted free agent isn't he..we can only hope they offer him enough cash to trip a compensation band

We don’t want to water down any comp we get for our potential fas

Yeah, surely with Perryman and maybe Cumming going out you will want to trade for Himmelberg.

Or pay him an entry level contract so it won't trigger a compo band?

Would Richmonds #73 appeal to the Crows ?
Will most likely come in by 10-12 picks once all the bids go through

UFA, so won't cost you anything.

 

[The Nostradamus]

GC apparently interested

 

[Crowstar]

Free to an average home. Thats if Melbourne's interested.

One for one swap with Luko. Both on the outside of team selection.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Hope he goes this year. Would love to see him succeed at another club.

 

[Perrip]

Himmelberg to the SUNS looks highly likely now as an unrestricted free agent. Even talks of a new deal earlier in the year at Adelaide didn’t tempt him, such is his desire to play more senior footy.

Makes sense for him to leave the Crows if he is looking for opportunity. Gold Coast is an interesting choice though. Is he any more likely to get a game there?

Probably would considering they're looking for better defensive stocks in Himmelberg, Noble, and Rioli

Himmelberg's only played FWD and pinch-hit Ruck for the Crows. There's been talk of him converting to a DEF but he's never had an extended block there. I wonder if GC have that in mind for him.

 

[HBFlanker]

You know when you just look at a decision that someone makes and think "How the hell did you come to that conclusion"

Thats Himmelberg joining the suns.

He's going to the one club that has two key forwards under the age of 25 who are set and forget in the side, in King and Walter.

Truly bizarre.

He would play plenty of games for Richmond, North (prior to Darling call) and Melbourne in 2025. He wont at GCS.

I think they have the same idea the Crows have, that Elliot is an awesome depth player. He just doesn't want to be depth.

To be honest, Hawthorn or North would have been great places for him, but I guess he doesn't want to play in Melbourne.
