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

[HakunaMatata]

Yeah, stand by this comment again tonight.

I thought Rohan had a great night. Nothing says big time player like 1 touch (a turnover)

Imagine recruiting someone with the profile of Higgo and not playing him for the exact purpose he was recruited for. His delivery stood out from the other hack it in the general direction Geelong mids. Chris Scott

The problem for Geelong is, nearly everyone in the 18 is a FA recruited for the moment and purpose. All there on the same promise.

Higgo suffered the old last in - first out rule.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Hang your boots up Higgins.

 

[Luke72]

I reckon we take him back, they can give us Higgo and a 2nd/3rd round pick and we take his contract.

Player coach in the VFL with the young guys

 

[tazaa]

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.

Mentioned this a couple of weeks ago.
The way Higgins prepared for and kept himself fit was first class.
Geelong ain’t winning s**t next year.
Bring him back and get him to help Patch in a mixed onfield/off field role.

The last bloke we had who went to Geelong but still loved North and came back, played in a premiership the year he came back.

I know part of the reason he left was to chase a flag but a large part of him moving was for family reasons. I don't think that will have changed soI doubt heis coming back.

will play round one for the 16th consecutive year.

Higgo has retired.

[amaz199]

Our Rolls Royce.


Thanks Higgo.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Played career best footy in North colours.

Was a pleasure to watch. All the best in your next step Higgo.

 

[Roo Beauty]

One of the best I’ve seen at his peak.

Rolled gold star. All the best Higgo.

 

[KangaFan35]

All the best in retirement Higgo, was a brilliant player for us and definitely one of the best players to pull on our jumper in recent times. A joy to watch.

 

[koshari]

was a great clubman for us, no regrets him trying for the ultimate prize,

 

[Twinkletoes]

Two time Syd winner who was all class. No doubt he’ll ramp up his property development gig but I’d love to see him impart his knowledge on the young North players in a development role too if possible.

Congrats on a great career Higgo.

[Billy Not Really]

By all rights he should be playing on GF day no matter what club he landed in, we all hoped it would be ours, but shame on Geelong for not really giving him the chance. He's been a star player ever since he came to NM and he'll always be a NM man.

Good bloke too, one of the few players I've met in person and he's got an incredible mind for the game.

Strikes me as someone who will go into coaching.

 

[My Left Foote]

Go well Higgo, a brilliant player, we were privileged to see you at your best!
