He won't cost nothing though. North people reckon he's worth a first, realistically he's worth a late second/early third just based on his age.People making out like 31 is bordering dinosaur age... hes still a good player, prob the best Nth have (ok ok Cunnington is alright for a plodder but thats it). If he costs you nothing gee id be all over him.

It's a no from me
Late second is about right.
I think the perspective from Geelong is that they're in the premiership window, and Higgins could be an icing on the cake. Not sure there's any substance to this rumour,
Cats not too bad at the G in the past year,scoring is a bit of an issue but that structure and systems based...He’s come out on TV saying Fake News!
The only thing that makes me think twice on it though is... Higgins is a stand out performer when he plays at the MCG!
Really for Cats its irrelevant if player swap is for pick 30-40 or 60-70 they should just be focusing in on a player/s who can perform at the MCG and throwing everything at them.
It’s useless talking about premiership windows being open to pounce through.... when the fly wire screen ie. fronting up at the G is yet to be removed.

Pick 70 to 80. That's all Mitchell and Lewis were worth.
In all seriousness, if a decorated player such as Higgins chooses to leave. Surely NM just accommodate the move.

Ahh yes the game where the umpire robbed you of the 2019 premiershiphmmm didn't this plodder monster your entire midfield a couple of weeks ago in one quarter?

Playing at the same level as 2018. Injury cost him back to back AA's. He's a jet.
1 of his games this year lasted 3 minutes.I think 2018 was still clearly his best individual season overall:

I think Higgins has had a pretty decent career, and probably still has 1-2 years left. Even with the injuries, if you know going in that you're going to get 200+ games of pretty good quality out of a guy that's a #11 pick in the National Draft (drafted when he was still 17, too, back when you could still do that), you'd probably take it.
People might say "well, he didn't reach his potential because of injuries", but he had a pretty solid run in some key formative years of his career (played of a possible 74 of a possible 94 games between 2009-2012, ages 21-24) where he kind of sat around the same level and didn't really take that proverbial "next step".

Take that out and he averages 30.
Ultimate professional that could play at a high level for a while yet.
I have never seen a Roo poster post that. Madness if that is true.Fair enough, yes, without that game, he played 16, averaging 30.19 disposals and a Champion Data Player Ranking Score of 100.13, a lot closer to his 2018 output. Games missed still a concern.
Also, what happened to the North supporters earlier in the year that wanted Higgins out of the side, almost acting like his play was some sort of liability? Just a vocal few on here?

You don't give away a top 20 pick for a player in their 30s.If North could get a top 20 pick I think they'd consider it.
Is this a joke?North want Constable for Higgins.
