Also worth remembering that neither Steele or Himmelberg had great years when they were 18 but as over age players for the rams they really stepped up and made there way onto our list as 19 year olds.

Steele was injured during his normal draft year (2013), wasn't he, and then had a great 2014 as an overager to get drafted. Himmelberg, as you say - obviously the move to Canberra and greater continuity/standard of competition helped. That underpins my thought though, getting the young guys into a NEAFL competition as a rookie would give the club the chance to have a closer look at them at that higher level (obviously not as high as VFL, SANFL or WAFL). Rookies can be easily cut in future if they deem them not up to speed. Obviously, I don't understand all of the factors that GWS know when making their decision, it just appears to me to be a possible lost opportunity to promote local talent.
Wow 9 goals in any league is a damn good haul
Would be an uphill battle to break into our forward line unfortunately maybe he will impress in the NAB and earn a call up
He was good in the Neafl. Maybe he needs help paying for a propertyWell I'm missing it, what exactly does Sam Reid bring to the equation? Is there some kind of salary cap loophole going on here?

He still says to this day he kicked 10 in the game, he also took a absolute screamer of a mark in that game
