Gee are we sure on Himmelberg? He is a fairly inconsistent and lackidasical type player.
I know he cut his hair so he doesn't appear so toolish... but is he going to be worth the coin?
Any for what it is worth he is Sydney bound.

More of an In Bruges guy?
I'd be having a deep and meaningful with Mason Redman. From what I've read, we have some space in the cap.
I know he's South Australian but he's been in Melbourne for a while now and just maybe he finds living in the smoke preferable to wandering up and down Rundle Mall on Saturday nights.

Edit: Just realised it is subs only.
Here you go:
St Kilda’s open pursuit of in-demand Carlton big man Tom De Koning continues to be a source of intrigue.
Rival recruiters who were at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Sunday to watch the Young Guns series opener also spotted the Saints’ head of talent and acquisition, Graeme “Gubby” Allan, locked in deep discussion with leading agent Paul Connors.

De Koning switched to the powerful Connors Sports stable, where he is managed by Robbie D’Orazio, after his previous manager, former TLA Australia agent Nigel Carmody, left the industry two years ago.
That conversation may have had nothing to do with De Koning – and sources in list management, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Money Talks that Connors and D’Orazio typically tried not to get involved with the other’s clients.
Connors manages fellow Blues ruckman Marc Pittonet, whose two-year deal also expires at season’s end.
There is still no clarity on Pittonet’s future either, which makes sense, given the De Koning situation.
Allan and St Kilda list manager Stephen Silvagni were among the interested spectators when De Koning played in the VFL a fortnight ago. Geelong, where De Koning’s brother Sam is a premiership defender, and Sydney are also expected to chase the 23-year-old’s signature.
De Koning, who has played 46 AFL games, sat out last week while in concussion protocol, and it will be a month since his last senior match if he is not selected for Carlton’s clash with the Western Bulldogs on Saturday night.
The Saints previously enjoyed success with Paddy Ryder and Rowan Marshall as a ruck combination, and are clearly hoping the same would happen if they could pair Marshall with De Koning.

UNSIGNED LION IN RIVALS' SIGHTS
CLUBS are tracking Brisbane youngster Kai Lohmann as the forward remains unsigned at the midway point of his second season.
Lohmann is one of only two first-round picks from the 2021 draft ? along with No.13 pick Ben Hobbs at Essendon ? who has not penned a contract extension past their initial standard two-year deals.
Lohmann was drafted from the Greater Western Victoria Rebels at pick 20 in that year's draft but has played only two games since arriving at the Lions and none this season.
The crafty hybrid forward is competing with a stack of talent inside the premiership contender's front half, leading rivals to be closely monitoring his situation as a potential trade target.
The Western Bulldogs flagged interest in Lohmann last year during the Josh Dunkley trade talks, while North Melbourne and Hawthorn were also among the clubs who had been eyeing Lohmann at the draft before the Lions swooped on him. ? Callum Twomey
