Have heard different accounts. Most of them say Higgins apparently had a sense of entitlement. A lot of players felt betrayed that the club stuck with him through his surgeries and rehab and then he cracked the shits that he wasn't getting game time (Due to a lack of defensive accountability) or had the desire to work towards winning a spot and took the easy way out.
Others accounts are he was irritating and goofed around so often that a lot of players thought he was either taking the piss or couldn't take anything too seriously.
If the top is true that is just ridiculous.
He was a first round draft pick ffs. Oh Richmond stuck by him while he had a year out? What heartful champions! After delisting the likes of Rance and Riewoldt at their first hurdle, they stuck by this guy and he showed them nothing in return!
Was it the likes of Prestia, Caddy, Lynch, Nankervis & Houli who disliked him for leaving despite the opportunities granted to him by his original club?
What absolute w***er nonsense that would only be said and believed by a one eyed Bigfooty poster.
And Higgins is my least favourite player in the comp, he’s a selfish player who acts like he’d rather kick 4 goals and lose than 1 & win. BUT Richmond fans who carry on about “we supported him” as if they took a punt on him like they did Stack and then he had 3 years out of the game…
