Bye Bye Jack Higgins!

[taraba]

Seems a world away from the happy go lucky kid who we all took to in 2018. Just doesn’t seem to be enjoying his footy and has lost that effervescent spark he once had. Is a million miles away from the popular kid who was telling jokes in huddles and challenging for a rising star award.

Who gives a *smile*?
*smile* him he jibb out because he knew he wouldnt break into our best 22.
Its a pity he didn't tell our recruiters how much he wanted to play for the Stkilda.

Saints have over payed for the wrong players.

They got away with it last year but its come home to hurt them this year.

Hannebury Jones Ryder was a handy get to tandem with Marshall but he's nearly finished and injury prone now.

Hill played what 11 good game ? How many has Crouch played?

Higgins and Butler are not lifting them to a flag.



They will pay for it too chewing up their cap with these blokes.

Was staggered at the time with the saints loading up.
They were and are light years from a flag.
Should of hit the draft.
Will be mid table for another 5 years.

Look at the dogs.
Snagged a flag from nowhere but have gone away and built a formidable list.
Next powerhouse IMO.

Without Wood their defence is fairly poor.

Cordy is a spud and Keath struggles a bit when one out. Wood covers off to help them both and intercept.

Bailey Dale has been a big lift to them going from half Forward to running off Half back, as has Libba in the middle.

We bashed them once we got them on our terms.

"I want out. I'm not getting enough senior games."

"Don't do that. You never know when you'll be needed."

"Nah, I still think that -"

"OK."

We don’t let go of players we really want to keep. The only exception being Ellis.

Can't win the flag with their defense. Its one of the worst in the league. Right now they are flat track bullies similar to Geesook in the 90s which netted them zero flags.

We did but their drafting has been bang on since the flag.
Naughton is the best key fwd in the comp IMO. Young and ready to explode. Add the rest of their young talent plus the bont who is what 25? And they are primed.
Will take some beating.

Spot on.
We pantsed them when we were struggling.

Yeah he would have easily this year. Looks like a champ against what Rioli and Castagna have produced this year

He’ll be playing in our midfield now and could make a case he belongs in our best 22 if he stayed.

Not sure we really wanted to keep Ellis

 

[Smoking Aces]

I think we did. He just got an offer to good to refuse. Had Rance pulled the pin a few months earlier we would have upped our offer.

Didn't need Ellis - but good on him for his Tiger career - and good luck to him at GC
Didn't need Higgins, Butler or Markov either.

I actually think Markov would’ve been handy this year. We’ve lacked toe at times.

 

[BillyJean17]

Signing king to a 3mn 750 a year contract is astonishing he ll be lucky to kick 30g this year , good luck to the kid, it just ain’t a premiership move . I thought lethers knew what he was doing

Do you think he wanted to stay , I don’t think so

Keeping him from being pinched.

Theyve got 2 Marquee players to go forward with...King and Marshall and wasted some serious cap space on others.

Not many melb based players <21 regularly getting a game leave clubs , didn’t they know that . They’re not GC or Freo that need to pay sec year players 600 a year to keep the wolves away
