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

[Twinkletoes]

But Higgins, whose latest contract expires next year, insists there is no regret associated with the Western Bulldogs' 2016 fairytale.


So his contract ends in 2018. Mods, could you please update the contracts thread.

Done

I don't care that he missed those ten shots at goal..
The fact he went back past 50 and slotted it through that ****** Oliver's face was bliss

Oh i reckon we gotta give it to Oliver. Hes a 19 year old that the whole team wae targeting. Thats unreal.

He's one of the few top 10 picks they've nailed imo, genuine gun already and still a teenager with s**t endurance.

Since they finally realised you need grunt as well as flash, they've turned it around a bit. Viney, Petracca, Oliver will be a good core to build around.

What did he actually do to Oliver? Watching all the highlights the commentary refers to Higgins starting it all, but at the first bounce all I saw was Vince giving Higgins a couple of cheap ones. All Oliver did all day was whack Goldy from behind and then run away

His kicking action looked different yesterday.

Dropped the ball from higher up.

 

[DarwinRoo]

1 tackle.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Busted his guts and we only really looked like a polished footy side when he or MacMillan had the ball in their hands.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

1 tackle.

Yeah.. how many tackles did you lay?

 

[DarwinRoo]

Yeah.. how many tackles did you lay?

0. If Cunnington can cop s**t for laying only one tackle so can Higgins.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Mate, I like you and I like your passion, but you are not doing your cred any favors if you are calling out Higgo.

 

[DarwinRoo]

He was puss last night.

 

[darko]

He was puss last night.

Probably in our top-5 last night.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Probably in our top-5 last night.

Not even ******* close.

 

[darko]

Not even ******* close.

Yeah you are clueless.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Yeah you are clueless.

He went missing and didn't stand up.

 

[darko]

He went missing and didn't stand up.

If Higgins was puss what was Goldstein?

 

[naturally north]

Hrovat, Wood, Garner, Goldy, Brown , Waite, Hansen, EVW and Turner....... I wish they all played as badly as Higgins.

 

[Boomerfan99]

He went missing and didn't stand up.

Love Higgo, but where does he go for 50% of the game?

Not being at the game, wasn't sure what position he was playing.

 

[Harris 10]

ok then, Higgins was the problem last night.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Is the criticism on Higgins in relation to a push to bring more lowly talented, hard working players who get us nowhere back to the club? Do we need to pick up more Steven Morris type players to the club so to shut the idiots who don't like seeing arrogant, talented metrosexuals in our side?

I love Sam Gibson (who was one of our best last night), but there's a strict limit on how many players like him a side can have. I don't want us to go back to having a core of plodders like we have done in the previous decade or so.

 

[tazaa]

Really? Higgins is the concern after last night?

 

[ferball]

He was puss last night.

Probably in our top-5 last night.

These two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

 

[Quivorir]

Taking the piss?

No. He is absolutely terrified to put his body on the line. You could see the fear in his face in the Melbourne game once he realised Bernie was going after him. Classy player when it's uncontested but is an absolute squib.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Set shot goal kicking is pitiful.
