[Roo Beauty]

Second round pick? Hahaha

Second round pick? Hahaha

What are you expecting?

He’s 32.

Hawthorn traded Mitchell and Lewis for much less.

I suspect he's thinking that Higgins is worth far more to us than a second round pick. At least, that's what I'm thinking.

But even debating a pick for Higgins gives oxygen to an article that should be ridiculed and immediately consigned to the virtual rubbish bin.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Trading Higgins would be moronic. One of the best leaders we've had at the club in the last 20 years. Sets the scene on and off the field. Also, he's a gun and we can't write off the chances of an flag while we've still got Tarrant, Goldy, Brown, Ziebell and Cunnington.

 

[Horizons_00]

He’s not going anywhere

$500k ??? lol!

"coming off back to back best and fairests"

"could be worth a second-round pick on the trade table"

wtf

 

[Tectonic]

You can keep the mercurial Shaun Higgins, *disclaimer I personally do NOT want the box

Yeah ... how about they get ****ed instead.

Seriously. This is the sort of disrespect you'd angle grind their fingers off for if you were in the mafia.

Has kicked 3/14 from 50 or beyond.

For an elite kick, he is s**t in front of goal.

Where does this mentality that AFL exists to suit the wishes of players arise from anyway?

The last I heard the AFL was a sport played by clubs.

 

[Val Keating]

Is there anything in this or are journalists just reporting on rumours from social media and making it news?

Hasn't kicked straight since 2016. Every year since its been more behinds than goals.

Tom Brown - in my opinion he wants to leave, he will go... WTF seriously and this is news worthy a media person giving his opinion then try to make it as a fact.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Managers hard at work this time of year.

Bottom line - Higgo has a contract for 2020. If he wants one until end 2023 does that work for North Melbourne? Missed a bit through injury but doesn’t feel like a Wells situation, just a bit of bad luck - and his form otherwise has been very good. I’d assume we would stretch the extra year if we have to.

 

[benbanjo]

Just front load the s**t out of his contract and give him the extra year at like $300k, not like we have anyone to pay next year anyway...

 

[Psicosis]

We won't get anything of value for him so he's not going anywhere.

Only way the club would entertain trading him if a high pick was involved, and no one is going to pay that for a 32 year old. He will be kept against his will.

Agree with that, except there could be absolutely no truth to the story. Tom Browne has zero credit.

 

[benbanjo]

If he goes to Collingwood.
Channel 7 commentary:
"he is currently the most skilled player in the competition, provides everything you want, i think he hanks in the top 5 players in the game currently"

 

[Event Horizon]

What are you expecting?

He’s 32.

Hawthorn traded Mitchell and Lewis for much less.

Neither of these two were anywhere near their best at that point. Higgins still in career best form arguably.

It's how the big dogs do it.

Gossip column trash dominates football discussion these days as we all know and it seems all you need to succeed is a good network of influential contacts and a very big mouth.

 

[ozzyoslo]

ok inner scrotes, is he staying or what?

 

[The Warlord]

Are folks only just waking up to the fact that contracts mean s**t all and that the players have a great deal more power than they used to have?

Did he ask them all what they thought of that?
