Player Watch #13: Jack Higgins

[GordonStrangler]

No. This is from RFC site:

Out: Trent Cotchin (managed), Jack Higgins (omitted)

 

[Dr Awkward]

Cotchin is being rested and is marked as omitted

Nah Cotchin is marked as managed

Not when I looked, must have changed. Still don't think he warranted being dropped

Jack Higgins has struggled this year , But in saying this any games we get from him this year is a bonus and just getting games and will be alot better next year

Thought he was really good for the first few games but has dropped off

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Think he may struggle to be best 22 when our list is fully fit.

Got some A graders due back and think Stacky, Marlion, Aarts will cement their places in the team.

Snag and Rioli are the 2 who will need to improve or miss finals action

We probably have 26 or 27 to go into 22 spots and he would be around the marginal area but Higgins just looked a bit like he needed a spell the other night, didn’t look sharp. So the club has done the right thing to leave him out. He will be back.

 

[peternorth]

He was very unlucky to debut in 2018, play very well and we didnt win the flag.
Then last year very unlucky to obtain that horrible injury and miss out on the flag.
As others have said this year games are a bonus for him.

His girlfriend has been his rock all this time. May that long continue

It's the personality.

I'd bring him straight back in, would have him in the side over Rioli anyday. Lets not forget he's coming back from brain surgery. He will be a lot better after another preseason.

Can't help but think we would have done better in the middle with him

I’m just wondering what everyone projects Snags’ potential to be?

I personally see him long-term being a solid B-grade mid who can go forward and kick a sneaky goal.

How does everyone else see him long-term?

a more creative prestia. seems about on par with your assessment.

 

[db26]

Hopefully the rest did him well.Finds the footy just needs to slow down at times and make better decisions.

 

[Infamy]

He finally kicked a set shot goal!! Decent angle too

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Remember Snags first season?
He was so damaging, I hope he get's back to that level of enthusiasm again.
Im really proud of the kid and is tough as nails it's going to take time to get back to where he used to be.

Higgins was starting to string together a couple of really good games before he was rested/injured.

I’m not sure whether he’ll hold his spot once everyone returns but I’m still very confident in him becoming a very good player.

I may have misinterpreted this (apologies if I have), but Prestia is certainly in the A-grade category. He's been superb in almost all of our finals, and if it wasn't for GOATman, he would've gone close to the Gary Ayres award in 2017.

Prestia is an out and out gun, and if we get the same big game performances out of Higgins, we're laughing! For what it's worth, I think Higgins is going to be a super player for us.

Crash Higgins needs to wear a helmet. Twice I saw his head get knocked tonight...

 

[richoatthedisco]

Seeya next year, Higlet.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Seeya next year, Higlet.

Seriously?

Definitely adds more to the side than Rioli

Nope.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

All but 5 players from that game can be told that

Higgo was solid

 

[THE_GUN]

I thought he had a average game and just does not look himself this year, He clearly has not come back to last years standard and probably wont this year

Best to park him and have him get a good pre season and a fresh start next season
