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

Maybe hard to name coaches.

I did hear Scotland had no idea whatsoever

Probably, we had the collingwood ratpac as our coaches

 

[Horizons_00]

I thought he did his knee?

 

[Zondor]

I thought he did his testicles :stern look

 

[north_lad]

Yea, hard to disagree however we are a tad thin on the ol soft cap and coaching support. We had a player that will be involved in footy post his career. Nevermind, he’s onto greener pastures anyway.. good luck to the deepest voice in footy

Macmillan and Hrovat both work at the club still

In admin roles.. the players would rarely see them

Macmillian was in the player huddle at 1/4 time and 3/4 time on Sunday. The players will see him daily.

That’ll do wonders, less Jamie Macmillan. Hope he is keeping his mouth shut and not tainting our young fellas

Whatever. I was just clarifying that your call about the players rarely seeing him was completely wrong.

Was in the video this week. Regularly is.

Not sure how he's tainting young players either, he was a young leader and highly respected and it certainly wasn't due to his (ok but not great) football ability.

out for between 4-8 weeks with his broken thumb. hmmm not great news for Shaun and no laughing matter. as we were not going to sign him for 2022, it does seem we made the correct call.

good job North

The only good thing about him being injured is that I don't have to see him play against us. Seeing him in the Geelong guernsey is tough enough. Wearing it against us was going to be hard to sit through.

250 on hold: Veteran Cat withdrawn with knee issue

Shaun Higgins has been withdrawn from Geelong's side to face Richmond on Sunday

Looks like his 250th could be against us

 

[wolvesRoos]

How has he gone this year. I know he has had some injuries and noticed he is sub for tonight. Hope he doesnt miss a shot at a flag

Serviceable at best.

Has been well below his best, has hit the cliff and gone over it a bit this year.

 

[Heaps of fun]

We did well to get a second rounder for him.

We did well to get a second rounder for him.

And we could be in the same boat with a few of our vets next year; the end can come suddenly. I remember Corey Jones signing his last contract for 2 years, and he hardly played, like he hit a wall. Makes our list management strategy this year ultra important, considering how reliant we are on key seniors

I could be wrong but I actually think he would play better if he was still with us. Looks far from settled at Geelong. Maybe not the best decision for his career even though personally I am sure he thought it was.

It’s not right how the cats have treated Higgins.
He’s made out to be some sort of average c grader which he isn’t.
I’m happy if he gives it away and goes into coaching. Bring him home

 

[Higgo2Froggy]

Love the bloke and have done pretty much since he first stepped foot into our club, so it's been pretty tough seeing him this year. Clearly isn't at the same level he was for us but at the same time, from an outsiders perspective, doesn't seem like he's been fully embraced down there - all for getting him back as a coach once he hangs them up (although I suspect he will go down the media route)

That said, if Lazzaro develops into even a solid roleplayer for us, the Higgins trade is going to look unreal for us

On the upside, if Dumont ends up at Geelong, you don't have to change your username.

 

[leighlee13]

Things not lookng good for Shaun. He has been dropped for this weeks game.

 

[sruss]

He’s been off this year, but gee I know who I’d prefer in the forward pocket out of him and Rohan

 

[hotchilli]

Best guess is that he ends up as the sub again.

 

[Roo Beauty]

What? He’s had an underwhelming career but Rohan has been very good for Geelong. 30 goals in 19 games so far this year.
