North Melbourne open to trading Shaun Higgins, Ben Brown but Jared Polec likely to stay

North Melbourne has already delisted 11 players and put Ben Brown up for trade. Now another star might be on the way out. See where Shaun Higgins could be headed plus the latest on the future of Jared Polec and Todd Goldstein



North Melbourne is prepared to trade Shaun Higgins to Geelong on compassionate grounds, but is happy to keep contracted midfielder Jared Polec.
The Roos have delisted 11 players and will trade star forward Ben Brown amid general confusion about how they will even recruit enough players for a full list in 2021.

But the club’s list management group is brimming with positivity about attacking a draft that is full of mystery given so few Under-18 games, likely to take five selections including two first-rounders.

The Roos are also open to securing three or four more mature-aged players from rival AFL lists, having already secured GWS free agent Aidan Corr.

Ruckman Todd Goldstein is determined to see out his contract, having rebuffed Geelong’s interest last season.

But as the Herald Sun revealed last month, the Cats will again come at Higgins after pushing hard for the silky wingman last year.

The former Geelong Falcons junior star also has interest from St Kilda and now lives in bayside suburb Hampton. He has been told to explore a trade by the Roos if it helps his family circumstances.

Moving back to Geelong makes more sense from a family perspective as he and his wife have twins on the way and his extended family would provide support if they moved back to the area he grew up in.

If the Kangaroos can trade him to Geelong and turn a player who will be 33 in March into a draft pick that could play 100 games it makes good business sense.

North Melbourne could be interested in draft picks or even players from Geelong’s list, with Charlie Constable and Lachie Fogarty among the players currently out of favour at the Cats.

Polec has had only extremely limited interest from one interstate club and despite an indifferent season where he was dropped is more likely to remain on the club’s list.

The Roos are aware of his deficiencies as a player but at his best he remains a hard-running precise-kicking wingman, albeit one with limited physicality.


Despite speculation of payouts the club will retain Aaron Hall and Dom Tyson, a fine character and strong inside midfielder whose run of calf strains has limited him to three games in two seasons at Arden St.

The Roos remain interested in Essendon’s Adam Saad, who is yet to decide if he will leave Essendon.

If the Roos can take five draft picks, Corr and secure a handful of rival players in trades with lists shrinking, they will be able to stock a list of 38 or 40.

The club has a group of senior stars including Goldstein, Ben Cunnington, Robbie Tarrant and Jack Ziebell. And while many clubs rebuild from ground zero, the Roos have a promising bunch of under-22 players including Tarryn Thomas, Nick Larkey, Jy Simpkin, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Curtis Taylor and Cam Zurhaar.

Okay, he lives in Hampton, StKilda are interested.........but Geelong makes more sense...........

Does anyone have the slightest doubt that Ralph/The Hun sporting editor is pushing a pro-Geelong agenda?

How is there confusion about recruiting enough players? Doesn't he know what happens once the season finishes?

Does not compute. Nowhere near enough doom and gloom tanty throwing.

Higgins + 25 for 11.

Cliche but needs another later pick to make it happen. 3rd future round or some shit.

So essentially Higgins, 25 + 38-43 next year. It is pick 11 we are talking about.

Why wouldn't he choose StKilda?

I reckon their finals window for 2020-2021 is better than Geelong's.

I like the idea of Charlie Constable in the trade with Geelong if it happens. Def has a lot of upside to his game but starved of opportunities at the cats. We all know what a "Scott" is like when they Pidgeon hole a player for life....

Sounds like they are to ask twice two years in a row. I have no idea either, but never interrupt your opponent while they are making a mistake.
