Apparently we're one of 4 teams that have expressed interest in him. Does he still have a role to play or has AFL passed him by?

"SHAUN Higgins has become one of the most sought-after players in 2014's dwindling free agency pool, with at least four clubs circling the classy Western Bulldog.

AFL.com.au understands North Melbourne, Carlton, Richmond and Greater Western Sydney have expressed their interest in Higgins, who has put off contract talks with the Western Bulldogs until the end of this season.

No thanks. The most over rated player I've seen in years, regardless of injuries he has never shown anything to be rated as high as he has been.

Surely we've learnt by now
 
I could imagine Higgins , Pettard and Knights running laps together for another 3 years in the rehab group only to over take a fit Matt Thomas who is doing some sprint training before meeting up with Disco Roach to learn some technique in the hope of learning to kick over a jam tin.

Next year is going to be more of the same I reckon. I hope the coaching staff don't let the players get ahead if themselves again and forget to train in the pre season. We've turned the corner after impressive wins over St Kilda and Brisbane , a depleted Port and West Coast in terrential downfall so we don't want to let this Stella form slip.

The only way I could possibly see this working is if Knights retires.. then it would maybe and I mean a big maybe worth a punt on tampon Higgins
 
If Carlton are after him let him go there , Carlton where the only other ones interested in Thomas. Maybe we could do a deal with Carlton . If we jump off Higgins so they could get him then they'll give us Jeff Gartlett for Hampson and Thomas and we'll even throw in Nahas and McGuane but not our third rounder cause they already got our second rounder last year for Hampson.

He should have been a really good player Higgins.
Injuries and some off field issues I'm led to believe have hampered him greatly.
Not for me thanks.
 
Not for me either - if there are other interested clubs, chances are his salary demands will go up.

I might have considered him as a mature age rookie if on minimum wage but even then, I wouldn't be too keen.
 
Higgins actually divides opinions on the Dogs board, too.

Some think he should be retained, others think he's our next Jordan McMahon :eek:.

If I was Hardwick, I wouldn't be keen on getting him.
