Bye Bye Jack Higgins!

Our last 10 years of first rounders,
2010 Conca 6... gone
2011 Ellis 15....tick
2012 BigV... massive tick
2013 lennon...fail
2014 little Ellis....fail
2015 Rioli...Tick
2016 2nd rounder Bolton... massive tick
2017 Higgins....Seeya
2018 CD....... No games
2019 Dow.... 1 games (too early)
It's a good result. Add three premierships to that and hard to top!
 
Not too fussed tbh.

We wont really miss him on field, off field he was popular so he will be missed around the rooms but we've won 3 flags without him playing in any of em, and have him covered by others.

That #13 Guernsey dead set needs to be burned.

Im not going to lose any sleep over it ,

When you have a surplus of riches , I guess some might slip through the cracks,

Im still on a high from winning 3 premierships anyway , this isnt spoiling my day
Agree. I reckon we should have got more and I'm a little annoyed we've given the Saints a leg up 2 years in a row.

But *smile* it we've won 3 flags in 4 years so who can complain with that? Just want to smash the Saints next year that little bit more. Hopefully we play them on the G and not at Chernobyl.

Hope Grimey, Vlastuin and Bakes give him a game to remember, for all the wrong reasons, when we play them next year. Want to see him get a real torrid time.

I reckon that Higgins’ jokey stuff that is cute and indulged when inside the 4 walls will be ripe for the picking when he is a Saint.
 
Contracted, young first rounder going for not much.

Not happy with this but I also don’t see Higgins being quick enough to pull off what we *smile* did to *smile* Geelong.

And if we got someone in mind at 17 who CAN do that, I’m good.

I would have traded Higlet last year, but we couldn't because brain thing. Cost us Butler. So we stood by him and extended his contract. Now he wants to leave for more opportunity but only to one particular side, limiting our options and ultimately our return on investment.

I won't boo him but I won't tell anyone who does to shut up.

Always struck me as a strange selection for us. Didn't fit the mould of high pace, elite endurance.

Not man enough to fight for his spot, does not deserve to be at punt road, glad to see the back of him.

I saw Jack Ross training at Punt Road by himself earlier this week, dedicated young man, enough already not going anywhere, (i hope).
His time is coming, he is next in line ahead of Riley Hyphen and Dowy at the minute also was ahead of Higgins.

GWS should pay more attention as to why everyone wants to leave the joint.

AFL are still hating on the RFC after the Tigers broke their baby.

The lack of a penetrating kick as well as pace are 2 big strikes, so I tend to agree. A very smart hardworking player who will have a decent career, but doesn't stand out as someone who fits our style.

I also think he is the worst set shot I've ever seen.
