Player Watch #13: Jack Higgins

[Cdog71]

It's awesome he took a professional approach last year but not all serious with the game face stuck on.
Looks like a kid living his dream and just loves to play footy

I really enjoyed watching him, brought a smile to my dial

Turbo was pumped after the game

Why do people keep saying oppo supporters will hate him or comparing Jim to Ballantyne?

I’ve never heard of him being a pest or niggling other players, did he do that as a junior?

Every news report has been about how excited he is to play footy and how happy he was to be named.

He was always quiet and nowhere near a Ballantyne

Because people are so used to players acting like scripted robots that as soon as any player shows personality, they are assumed to be a flog who is full of themselves or whatever.

Everyone says they hate the lack of personality in the game, but when someone does show some they get hated for it.

back in the VFL this week, not in best 22 yet IMO, Caddy and Prestia to return

Harsh but accurate. Only if Prestia is good to go though.

 

[Tango67]

I think Broad, Prestia, Rioli and Caddy all come back in eventually so 4 go out...

Lloyd, Higgins and Short are the obvious outs with Conca and Graham nervous

Poor Higho needs an injury or poor form from butler or Costanza to keep his place

That's a bullshit photo.

Turbo has bigger calves.

Won't be dropped this week

 

[Ocker]

Snags is a ripper...let the boy play!

 

[TigerImposter]

If he gets dropped before Conca I will spew. He’s in to play Rioli’s role which Conca is not. Conca makes way with Lloyd for Prestia and Broad. Caddy may replace Townsend or most likely Lloyd if Prestia isn’t ready.
I think this kid had some mongrel in him and opposition fans will hate him.
The Toby Greene description was ideal and about time we had a campaigner in our side.

 

[bedford]

But he's not, don't try and make him in to something he's not.

 

[Bobby Sands]

......Conca and Graham nervous

I have it on good authority he has no idea what that emotion is.

 

[guruisatiger]

Enough Kebab talk guys.

Higgins.

booh booh hiss hiss

Turbo is a great nickname, but I fully support the change to Snags.

Neil Balme currently on SEN says he has no idea about it [emoji6] the sly fox

 

[Grockadoc]

Loving this kid already. Can see he loves the footy and LOVES the club already.
