Wiggins!!

[Smell The Glove]

He is playing for his AFL career, and producing good footy. Not sensational, but good.

Good hands, sure disposal, average kick on goal, but has been dobbing them this year at crucial times.......and his handpass to Stevo in the goal sq (which Stevo snapped for a behind) was first class.

Puts his body on the line, and at worst, is a good role model interms of hardness for the younger brigade.

Will survive the end of year cull on present form.

Puts a lot of pressure on some others though:
We need at least 4 spots.

2 are taken by Ackland and Saddo.

The other 2?

Most would have had Wiggo in there, but not now. Bannister has probably dodged a bullet too.
Its harsh in his second year, but Benjamin needs to puts some runs on the board for the Ants in the second half of their season or could be in trouble IMO.

Luke Blackwell is next in line for the chop- just doesnt cut it. Aisake and Jackson have probably one more season each to prove and cement themselves. Then its probably one of Hartlett, Wiggins and Edwards to go. ATM, I'd say Hartlett (Has Edwards has come on enough as a second forward though? And Wiggins probably will survive- the man is Lazarus along with Jordan Bannister. I never would have imagined the two of them lasting into 2009 (or 2008 for that matter). God knows if either are getting a game in 2010 we still have some work to do.

I have been supporting Wiggo for a while. I always have plenty of time for a player that gives 110% all the time and I think he has improved over the past couple of years. I don't know what the future will hold for him but I think if he maintains his form for the majority of the rest of the season, he will be with us in 2009. (I think his contract runs out at the end of the year, but I think a 1 or 2 year deal would be appropriate.)

Currently on 94 games. I would love to see him get to the ton.

5.1 for the year so far. Impressive.

I would love to see him get a 100 games, plays his heart everytime he is selected.

May have some good offsprng seeing he is married to olympic diver Lourdy Wiggins (nee Tourkay).

Also from a neutral supporters point of view I myself am very surprised he was retained at seasons end last year but the last couple of game he has shown something.

Yeah there were probably a lot of Blues supporters calling for him to get the chop last year as well. He was a fair way down the line on my list of players to get the chop. It is good for the team if he can force his way into the team. He tells some of the other players like Walker, Houlihan and Bannister that they are going to have to earn their spot back in the team.
