All you people who jumped on Higgins this week, that 58 is on your head!

Hang your heads in shame!

Still the 100 average for us blokes that had him from the start ;)
Exactly.  Very happy to have a fwd avg 100.   unfortunately got goldy looking overpriced with preuss running around stealing his points.

You can blame me........

I am renowned in my league for putting a curse on players that I bring in. They always spud it up first week. Happens so consistently that my mates actually get angry when I trade in players they've already got. I've even seen them take the C/VC off them because I've traded them in! :P

I blame the coach for not telling him to pull his finger out.  It appeared to me that Higgins simply was not part of yesterday's game plan, his job was to run around in small circles hoping that occasionally the ball would fall into his hands.

I never realised how much of a downhill skier he is until I stupidly traded him in. Just doesn't want to go in hard, doesn't tackle. He'll be like a Stanton, can score huge on his day but is so outside he needs a jacket.

Haha look at his stats mate. He wins contested ball. Round 1 25 touches, 14 contested, 11 clearances. Round 2 27 touches, 6 contested, 3 clearances, 2 goals. The problem with him on the weekend was simply his efficiency. If it was near 80% where he usually plays at, he would've scored 75-80.

Yep, no need to panic. Will be a good pick in the long run.

Seems to be playing mostly forward the past 2 weeks. Why the role change? He was awesome playing mostly in the midfield...

Because he's as soft as butter and doesn't go in hard. He's a wingman, half forward flanker at best and hence, not a top 6 forward

Is it worth trading Higgins to Macrae next week?

Have $100,000 in the kitty.

Looks like Higgins midfield role is no more.  :'(

You chose him so you have to back him in

Way too early for sideways/luxury trades

I've got Heater who I want to trade to Adams, but just can't do it. We gotta back our keepers in and focus on upgrading the team

Whats the point in backing him in if he has lost his midfield role now though?  :-\ :-\

May aswell trade him to a keep while I can.
