You're god damned right I am

 

[Juragan Cendol]

Very German name (lit : sky mountain) but I think I've heard his old man spoke with an American accent in one of the afc videos.

Sky mountain... that's fantastic

Can that become a thing?

Yeah if that were to be his nickname come the future, how awesome would he be.

Coach Don Pyke provides an update on the Club’s 2016 draft crop:

Pick No.55 – Elliott Himmelberg, key forward
SANFL games: 9

“It’s always interesting with the big guys because they generally take a little while to develop.

“Elliott came off not playing a lot of footy through injury last year, so the real pleasing part is that we’ve been able to get him trained up and he’s got continuity in playing now.

“We’re seeing the reason why we drafted him.

“There have been some really positive signs for him, but he’s a work in progress and he’ll take a little while longer to come along. Some of the things he’s doing at SANFL level, we’re really happy with.”

 

[MRB37]

You can see the talent with him and he's started showing it a bit more now that we moved Dear to the backlines.

Still needs some physical development, but early signs are encouraging.

 

[hey shorty]

Been pretty good so far in an inconsistent side. Keen to see him get some JLT game time next year.

Talented Crow inks two-year contract extension
ADELAIDE has extended the contract of key position prospect Elliott Himmelberg for two more years, until the end of 2020. Nice timing

Sky Mountain made his debut in the 100 point walkover vs Carlton this week.

I thought he was very promising!

13 possessions, of which 8 were score involvements. 1 beautifully composed goal, 1 behind which should also have been a goal.

What I liked most was his intuitive use of the ball to a teammates advantage.

- couple of quick pickup and handballs
- couple of lead, mark, then quickly pivot and kick to a teammate in space

This is something Tex and Lynch have had from day one. Whereas in that situation Jenkins has always looked like he is in treacle, and MGov too to a certain extent.

Ie I am not sure it can be easily taught, and he has got it.

His defensive pressure was reasonable considering his height.

He didn’t show too many signs of being a contested marking beast, which is okay. I reckon he will be an intelligent lead up player. He could turn out to be a nice complimentary player with Fogarty.

Really looking forward to his development and hope he makes it to being an AFL regular in the next couple of years.

It is pleasing to see he learnt to get his own ball.

As you say Tex and Lynch also have this ability whereas Gov and Jenkins dont.

Tex and Lynch spent a bit of time in SANFL and VFL footy. Gov and Jenkins didnt. I wonder if that has much to do with this ball winning ability.

Berg has also done a fair SANFL apprenticeship and seems.to have learnt.thus as well.

Contested marking will get to a solid level, as after all at that size, all you really need is a bit of bravery and good hands. Himmelberg has both.

I have to say, his goal made me very excited about him as a forward. He's certainly got something.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Will be interesting to see at what club he ends up at.

Cheer up Mike.

You only have to worry about that if he turns out to be good!

I might have been hearing things? But did anyone listen to raihly last night? Talking about using berg and tilly as our rucks?

Must mean Fish is gone, need some key position depth.

 

[Scorpus]

2 year deal for a depth player is lunacy. 1 year at the absolute most would have sufficed if we wanted to keep him as a backup. Or a delist re-rookie on 1 year

 

[StonesThrow]

If he's good enough for Freo, he's good enough for us

Frustrating as hell player.

Can take contested grabs and kick goals from outside 50 off one step, but can also stuff up the most simple plays.

McAsey is now firmly in the gun to be traded or to have his contract paid out.

 

[FantasticShirt]

I do not understand this extension. Must mean other key position players are on the move.
