The swines knew if they negated Higgo & Polec without Cunners influence, then they were in with a show.

Jy played a lone hand but Goldi was probably our second best mid. They kept it respectable.

He'd make a good astronaut.

Based purely on looks.

They’d need to redesign the helmet to fit his head.

How bad is his injury? Any update from Rhyces presser?

 

[SMaturin]

Battling.

 

[Val Keating]

What’s going on with Higgins? Reminds me of how he started last year. Just out of form or carrying something? Somethings NQR

 

[Pykie]

I wouldn’t be amazed if we saw a significant change in the midfield after he left.

Hes a gun player but I really think he doesn’t suit our side. We have too many defensive liabilities as it is and Higgins is just about the most unaccountable midfielder in the league.

He’s not a good combination with the rest of our midfield mix.

we can look amazing on our day and when the rest of the midfielders decide to put in and cover for some of his short comings, but like we’ve seen this year,when that doesn’t happen, things can get very ugly.

Between him and Cunnington, we may as well have two lawn chairs trying to win back the ball when the opposition has it.

 

[Val Keating]

Bit harsh Pykie.

Bit harsh Pykie.

Stinker take. Again.

Whilst no as harsh as Pykie is, I’m sick of his half arsed jogging in transition.

Eerily reminiscent of Dal in his final season with us.

Father Time catching up with him. He is just coasting

Is it Father Time OR coasting? Can’t be both. Reckon he misses Cunnington more then anyone...I hope.

Yep and a combination of probably carrying some injuries, probably required to play given the injury list.

Defiantly slowing down, contracted to 2021, if we are rebuilding, fair chance that’s it.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Hopefully LDU and Cunners can come into the side soon. Starting midfield of Simpkin, Luke and Cunners with LDU, Ziebell and Anderson to rotate. Put Shaun up forward to help our youngest group organise.

Centre: Dumont Cunnington Polec
Following: Goldstein Simpkin McDonald

Half forward: Higgins Larkey Thomas
Full forward: Taylor Brown Zurhaar

With Ziebell, Anderson and Davies-Uniacke starting on the bench.

Regardless, we cannot be reliant on him to be a catalyst anymore. Jy needs mates.

Higgo can be the cherry on top for the next 18-30 months.

Looks injured to me. Can’t run.

You’re probably right but there’s also the possibility he’s carrying an injury and playing through necessity.

Don’t think he’s just coasting.

I don't think he is coasting, and is sore. Nonetheless, he's coming to the end and performance may be slipping...

Could be.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Half back to prolong his career ala Matty Boyd? Easier to be defensively accountable in the backline than the midfield and he could set us up from down back.

Definitely merit in that. LDU coming back could release to do that

Higgo played half back for the dogs and was so ordinary they dropped him. Midfield or forward for mine.

 

[Rad Roo]

is a spud, should have let him go last year. Needs to be perma forward as a sharp shooter.
