My new theory is that he can actually see extradimensionally. It's how he can both pick the space where there isn't any, and also sometimes pass to a player who isn't there.

It must be confusing to be able to see through the layers of space-time. No wonder he can pull off the almighty shank at times. He's passing to players who only have a probability of existing.

Lucky for us, he's spent years adapting to this, and now uses it as a force for good more often than not.
So he got the Eye of Agamotto from Dr Strange?

Higgins is unpredictability. When he has the ball near goals, both time and space take on new meanings.

See I'd be tempted to call him the Higgins boson. Tiny, but carries force.

Otherwise I'd go with the Higgins uncertainty principle, because it's impossible for the opposition to know both his position and velocity.

The Tigers are the Chaos Team of the competition.


Rance is the disruptor. Kick the ball to empty space and Rance will always be there. (Grimes is the new disruptor).

Martin bends space. He grabs the ball in heavy traffic and creates a cone of exclusion around him as he bounces off opponents.

Caddy is pure turbulence, splitting packs open, breaking up the defence.

Higgins is unpredictability. When he has the ball near goals, both time and space take on new meanings.

And Edwards is the Butterfly Effect. He gives an innocuous handpass in a pack, no more obvious than the flapping of a butterfly’s wings, it doubles and redoubles, passing through many hands before returning to him so he can pinpoint exactly the right target.

Hawthorn and Geelong won Premierships through order. The Tigers have embraced chaos.

McIntosh or Menadue for Schrödinger's cat?

Just checked AFL ratings. Shed gone to even a higher level. Ranked No 2 this year over the first 4 games and now into No 11 over past two seasons.

The move to half back now allows him more intercept possibilities and also easier balls running out of defence. A few years starring off half back and he may end up an all time great.

Definitely McIntosh. His kicking is both sublime and abominable at the same time.

You're selling him short. He won us the game after nearly losing it!

Really good to see the consistency in his game rise to a new level.

He’s been a consistent gun for a few years now!

After Saturday Shed should play back halfback for the rest of his career. Out Rance In Edwards. Overall impact zero

yeah that kick of his certainly would've passed the slit experiment. The ball floated like a particle AND a wave.

McIntosh kicks through his own personal refractive index, precisely picking out teammates where they aren't.
