Past #4: Shaun Higgins - Higgo traded to Geelong for 2020 #30 - 2x Syds/108 NM gms/96 NM gls - thx Higgo

[Devington]

What? He’s had an underwhelming career but Rohan has been very good for Geelong. 30 goals in 19 games so far this year.

His finals records however are completely and utterly dogshit.

 

[Marstermind]

Things not lookng good for Shaun. He has been dropped for this weeks game.

Was a brilliant player for us. We maturely traded him out to chase a flag. Now he finds himself not good enough to be in a side that's on the periphery of challenging. I hope Geelong don't win it. But if they do, I'd like Higgo to be in it.

 

[The chorus]

It’s not right how the cats have treated Higgins.
He’s made out to be some sort of average c grader which he isn’t.
I’m happy if he gives it away and goes into coaching. Bring him home

His best games for us were playing as a midfielder but Geelong seem to be playing him as a flanker

 

[King Corey]

Classy player, classy bloke. Echo tazaa sentiments hope he comes back in a development coach capacity or similar for us.

He doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s getting at Geelong. He should be starting not hanging around the fringes of the 22 like a bad rash.

I want Geelong to go out straight sets as a result. Insulting a champion.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Not playing on the ball has killed his game. Just shows that some players as good as they are cannot adjust to different positions. Makes me wonder what story Geelong sold him.

They offered him 2 years whereas we probably would have pushed him into retirement now

Plus the story they would have sold him was to play the Ablett role and have a chance at the flag

He’d be a good chance to come in for Parfitt next week, should be playing ahead of max Holmes also

I was impressed when he and a few other players would head north in the off-season and do extra training before preseason.
I think he has had a massive input into Jy Simpkin’s really impressive development this year.
Both he and the club handled his move last season with great professionalism.
Would love him back in a coachin/development role.

Incredible that a crab like Dalhaus has been getting games ahead of him at stages this year. Even Zach Guthrie was preferred over him last night.

They said he was managed last night so maybe his body is starting to let him down. He definitely has lost a little bit of top end speed.

Lazz was a good outcome in this trade.

If he doesnt play next week Id almost get in touch with his management about a potential spot on the rookie list with the idea he helps Patch out with the VFL team in a playing coaching role.

He kicked 39 goals for us in 2015 playing mainly forward, he is capable not playing on the ball. Unfortunately for him I think it is just that the game has gone past him.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Boy did we do well out of this. He's clearly lost his touch and wont have long left in geelong colours a year at best, meanwhile we got the lizard who is quick and an amazing kick, doesn't make many mistakes. Higgins truly is a north man

 

[Luke72]

I reckon it’s just working out the synergy with the guys around him, he is a quality player and I expect will look like it given a bit more time. He has still been getting a fair amount of the ball in the games I’ve seen.

 

[rickety]

Emergency :-(

 

[The Nostradamus]

Emergency :-(

Zuthrie and Holmes should not be playing ahead of him

 

[Passmore]

He’s finished.

 

[rickety]

He’s finished.

I like to imagine the coming from your pic around those words

 

[The Nostradamus]

He’s finished.

Has another year on contract

I know.

Holmes is quick and frankly they are a slow side.

He's 34 before next season starts. I reckon he's done.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Me too, unfortunately. Happened quicker than I expected.

I don't want Geelong to win this weekend, but if they do, it would be great if Higgo got to play in the GF.

 

[HakunaMatata]

Higgo was Geelong's best player in the second half and he only played one half of that half. One of the many terrible coaching decisions to play Holmes ahead of him from LOLChrisScott. All the best Higgo, You're a North man and always will be

He’s been off this year, but gee I know who I’d prefer in the forward pocket out of him and Rohan

Yeah, stand by this comment again tonight.
