Still baffling how we managed him at the start of this year given his awesome finish to 2020.At a bit over 23 years of age I'm not sure he qualifies as young in footy terms and he has been on the list for a while now, but if his body holds up Elliot Himmelberg might surprise a few. Perhaps not by becoming a gun, but certainly a very handy marking target up forward who for a big man (198cm) can also gather the ground ball to snag a goal.
So many choices...
Pedlar is the one who we need for a point of difference in the midfield for his explosiveness. However, not sure he will have a breakout year until 2023, but hopefully a solid contribution next year & remains mainly injury free.
Thilthorpe & Cook i think a more likely in 2022... & I'm excited by both.
The 2 to keep an eye on after getting limited AFL exposure this year are McAsey & Worell. Really hope at least 1 of them are settled in our best 22 by the end of the season.
I'm assuming natural progression from Schoenberg, Jones & McHenry.

His what now?
Last 10 games, only broke 15 touches once and averaged like 9.8 PPG.
4 goals in last 6 rounds and 9 in total. 9 goals after round 9
Your expectations are extremely low if you think he had an “awesome finish to the year”
Depends on the definition of breakout?
Breakout for me is a player that has pushed into our best 22 and is ready to go to the next level, Schoenberg, Ned, Jones and RT
The above 4 players mentioned are ready to put a stronger stamp on the team and competition.
Whereas the likes of Pedlar and Cook, their next step is to cement themselves in the best 22, that in itself is a step but for me a breakout is taking that 2nd step to having that respect at an industry level

Relative to his year and his overall development, his trajectory skyrocketed in those last few games.
I remember being at the GWS game and he was clunking everything. Finally looked like he was going to realise his potential
What were the stat's for his last 2-3 games?33 marks over 11 games suggests otherwise
Your memory is playing tricks on you.

I might grab Berry whilst no one's yet called him. Reckon Cook and Tilthorpe are pretty safe bets to show a lot more this year given what we saw last year.
If McAsey can become a best 22 CHB that would be the biggest win of the off season.
That and small forwards are quite literally costing us right now, let alone in five years time.
That's surprising - I recall him really turning the corner in the last part of the season.Rd 18 2.2 for 10 touches with 2 marks
Rd 19 2 points 9 touches with 4 marks.
Not exactly overwhelming.
His AFL form in 2021 was justified and leaving him out of the side was the correct call. His form may have improved, but it only went from a 2 out of 10, to a 4 out of 10.

No. There isnt an AFL footballer in Himm at all.. he just hasnt got the drive and determination in him, or the skills and decision making. If he did he wouldve made it by now having spent so many years on an AFL list and he wouldnt have thrown his bum in the corner at the start of this year when he was overlooked in the first few rounds due to poor form… players with the drive and determination to make it at AFL level wouldnt do that, they’d instead use it to push themselves even harder not sulk.And here I was thinking I’m Tom Hanks in Castaway stranded alone on Himmelberg Island, Elliot!!! ELLIOT!!!!!!!
But in all seriousness I feel like this board has given up on him. There’s an AFL footballer in there, question should be can he and TT coexist in the same team?
Loved what Chayce did after about round 8 this year. Massive recovery from the lad. Thought he was gone for all money. Huge credit to the lad and I think he’ll go on with it next year. Hopefully his confidence builds further and they can give him bursts through the midfield because hes got oodles of talent and skill and would be a great addition to the midfield rotations.Chayce Jones for mine. A big improver last year from a very low base, and I'm thinking he has finally 'got it' and has another couple of gears to go, then hopefully transition to midfield.
He's already getting involved in ball ups in the back half and joining just after centre bounces from half back. He's sneaking up on being a midfielder without his head getting in the way.Loved what Chayce did after about round 8 this year. Massive recovery from the lad. Thought he was gone for all money.
