Bye Bye Jack Higgins!

[zippadeee]

Nowhere near as good as last year. But he is only a kid

 

[No 4]

agree, needs a spell. Last game kept fumbling, this is unusual for Higgins. Needs to get the touch back, to be dangerous.

 

[year of the tiger]

Second year blues - reckon he needs a few games in the ressies to regain his touch

Will be interesting to see if the MC pull the trigger on Higlett this week or give him one more.

I'm thinking Garth also might get dropped as StKilda rely on Membrey, Parker, and Bruce who we can cover with Dave, Grimes, Tigga and Broad.

No real match up for Garthie unless they bring in another tall.

Marshall will be difficult to track around the ground for the Tigers.

With the number of players returning, he will: make way I expect

Is it just me or does it seem like he has only one style of kick? Everything seems to loop and hang in the air, even his easy short passes.

Definitely needs a spell in the 2nds for a period.

His kicking is a liability at the moment. I didn’t notice his poor field kicking last year (just his set shots). Looks to be too careful with his kicking. Anyway needs a spell in the VFL.

 

[craig]

Has struggled a bit and is worthy of a spell now for a week or 3 for a freshen up.

With stack now at HB, I would like to see Short play Higgins role as a link up player around wing/HF. Short is much quicker and a much better kick. His ability to hit our fwds and kick long range goals could be a real weapon.

 

[kiwitiger]

Looks like a kid that has lost his way a bit ,

maybe a little too much hype around his debut season was not good for him mentally ,

probably wouldve gone back earlier if it wasnt for the injuries .

 

[JimJessTorp]

On a brighter note for Jack (Higgins that is), Newscorpse are reporting that "Premiership winner Jack Higgins has been dropped after a lean month ", so well done Jack!

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Will be good for hin

 

[zippadeee]

Too slow for a small.
We add to the million failed first rounders. We should’ve traded the pick to get someone in like a extra mid or a defender. Like what hawthorn did to get Bygoungye Lake and lekkas

 

[Tigaman]

Has not looked the goods for some time maybe playing a different playing role because of injuries. He is going to have a few mates in magoos after emergencies named.

 

[Tigers of Old]

The fumbling has been chronic in recent weeks. Last year he was one touch on everything.
Is it confidence? Fatigue? Off field issues? Has he plateaued?
Whatever the reason's he's looked a shadow of the player we were so excited by last year.

A reminder not to over hype young players too quickly. (ie Stack, Balta, Baker etc)
The graph of development in kids is rarely a straight upward trajectory.
Hopefully Jack rebounds from this slump strongly & takes his game to another level..

 

[Mr Brightside]

I think Higgo has just gone through a bad patch, like all players do , couple of weeks in the magoos won’t hurt him, he’ll be back in a big way.

Lol you only watch it to see Peggy Bundy.

The young bloke in the show was up here last year filming a Ned Kelly movie, had selfies with 90% of Wang, apparently was a ripper fella, rode his pushy round town and did all his own grocery shopping

 

[tigerlove]

Is a classy player going through a rough patch. We forget sometimes he's only 20yo playing just his 2nd season of AFL footy.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Good reply in the VFL. Probably our 2nd best player.
