Higgins will be 33 at the start of the HA season next year and has possible gone on a year to many now. Careful consideration required with this one.

Gunston used properly at Pies would be damagiing IMO if they get him.

GO Catters

Hawks getting into merge territory again.

Getting charged is a pretty big thing for sexual assault. It generally means they have something which will stick because it can be so much of a he said she said situation.

And yet we all saw the Richmond and Melbourne players touching inappropriately

GO Catters

Used properly?
He's a gun and always has been since he was at Adelaide.
Look at how terrible Hawthorn were this year and he still managed 2 goals per game.

He'd boot 50 goals at Collingwood with their midfield.

Well that depends on whether you believe they were victims or consenting adults with agency.

Careful consideration?
Should be no consideration IMO. Is cooked, will be chasing a flag so not somebody I'd expect to do the hard work and is over rated in general anyway.
Hard pass IMO.

Well if the catch is 'he wants a contract longer than 1 year' then its a no for mine also. Id offer him a year, but two is madness at his age.

Clarko had him playing across CHB for a stretch with Mcevoy back there.
thats what im referring to.

And yes, he boot 50 at Pies with their mids. My point exactly.

Hence the "if used properly"

GO Catters

More like Joe's just blocked Tom Browne's number on his phone.

Wouldn't be the first person to block Tom Browne.

Only seems like yesterday being in the MCG carpark 2008 GF ...listening to a radio discussion on who will go #1 pick ..him or NicNat...

 

[Turbocat]

true to form ..Haw do this as well as anyone.... now someone will give them so good picks ..and they pick up some kids who become champs while whoever picks up these guys get 25 games and they retire and slowly leak back to Waverley

I was thinking the same, it seems like only yesterday he was drafted as the number one pick. Then his early struggles at the Dees, the criticism and pressure with being the number one pick, and being compared to Nic Nat regularly. But when it's all said and done, 174-games is 174-games. Never reached the heights predicted of him, but that's a good career and when he played well, he was a very good contributor for the Dees..

Sorry all I read was **** and swimming

Gunston to the Pies? If there was one thing that could make me like him less....

 

[frggr]

Very unbelievable - never would have thought he was that kind of guy. Massive shame if true.

I've heard that he's quite a sleaze - the news didn't come as a big shock to me

Why are we never linked to players in positions we actually need?

[BotsMaster]

Wow and it was just earlier this year I had to ask where he was as there was no news on him.

Looking back on his career I do wonder how he became no 1 draft pick.

Do you want to believe Tom Browne & his idea of what's happening with Gunston's future
