Himmelberg far and away the best fit for us. We wouldn't have the highest offer on the table but we might be able to get close with all our upcoming retirements over the next two years, including one that wouldn't have been factored into any long term plans in Adams. He'd be playing finals and his family is apparently up in QLD, if we can get close in dollars hopefully we could get him over the line.

Really rapt for all 3 players.

Henry Smith needs a few more years to see if he is going to make it.

Callum Ah Chee is in our best side or very near to so a no brainer to extend him.

I'm a huge fan of James Madden and think he offers something and I'm glad the club does too.

Wonder if Henry Smith will be our next 3rd tall forward in our AFL side next year and beyond, if Gunston decides to retire soon.

After all, he was put in our emergencies last fortnight and has also been playing some quality footy in the reserves this year.

I haven't seen a lot of Henry but from what I have seen he doesn't look like he has potential KPF ability, IMO it's ruckman or bust for Henry.

Longer term replacement for Oscar I reckon.
A ruckman who can roll forward for periods of game time.
Much less likely to be a forward who rucks a bit imo.
He is a good signing because he is a long term prospect, until recently he was still growing so just needs to fill into his body now and I think he will come on.

He is not and was never recruited as a Key Forward. He is a more than competent forward/ruck which we've never had, however tried to make Fort one. Smith's potential is enormous. He is still only 20 years of age and his time in the best 22 is near. We need him going forward. Henry's time is coming.
 
Just had a read of the full article and it is a pretty big show of faith in Henry because he appears to have been already signed up until the end of 2024 and extending by a further 2 until the end of 26’.


“The Club has also rewarded emerging 206-centimetre ruck-forward Henry Smith for his impressive form in the VFL, extending his current contract by an extra two years.

This will see the 20-year-old remain in the maroon, blue and gold until the end of the 2026 season.”

We're going to be telling our great grand kids about the day Henry Smith debuted and had 50 hit outs and kicked 5 goals
