Largely agree.

There's only a handful of things our club has stuffed up in recent years and the Butler trade was right up there.

The pathetic draft pick he landed us only made it worse. Smacked of hubris at the time.

Higgins was different because he actively tried to get out and made no secret about it.

That said ... I reckon either or both would fit in quite nicely about now.
Butler maybe but prefer to give development opportunity to others now.
Campbell, Clarke, Coulthard, Cumberland and Smith all look to have a future.

never forgave him in leaving. Save our money and picks for talls please.
I guess no one at the saints wants to hear him talk? this may be valid, after kicking a goal and running to the centre with his chest puffed out "look at me, Look at me"

Can't see it happening, burnt a lot of bridges in the COVID hub by all reports.

If we were trying to get a small out of Saints it would be Gresham as he's free. No way we trade draft picks to bring Higgins back after the way he left us. About the only ex-Tiger that I boo at the footy.

Yep forget about Higgins. Our focus should be on Gresham.

Worked out our culture and environment was actually pretty good? I don't think many of the boys respect him. Always friendly interactions with Butler after Aints games but everyone seems a bit frosty with Higgins (which I understand).

Did anyone notice Higlet’s body language in the lost final vs the Giants?

It was appalling.

I always wondered what the slows on him were after his bright start with us - now I’ve worked it out.

He’s a sook.
