Himmelberg has potential but is 2 years away from debut presuming he keeps developing . He won't make the 26Replacing Tex is not a straightforward decision. Tex usually plays higher up the ground than Jenkins so his replacement needs to be able to get to a lot of contests. Neither Fog nor Himmelberg are able to play this role at this stage in their career.
Option 1; Jenkins plays the Tex role and we use either Fog or Berg as the deep forward target. Himmelberg may get the nod since he can also help out in the ruck
Option 2; Keath plays the Tex role. He has the speed to get to the contests and IMHO he is a very smart footballer. Unfortunately he is a bit of an unknown quantity as a forward in senior footy but did play as a forward as a junior and had a few games forward in the Twos.
Option 3; We bring back Mitch! This would be the best solution for our current structure but he will be underdone.
Option 4; We go all Richmond, play Lynch in Tex’s role and bring in another small forward.
Since we have to win to keep the dream alive, I would go with Option 2 or 3 but I suspect that we will play The Fog.
