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.

Who says he has lost the role?

Trade him away then, but don't complain when you run out of trades way too early or can't complete your team :P

People have been saying that he's been playing mainly forward the last 2 weeks hence the sub par scores.

The first 2 weeks he was playing pure mid hence the 100 + scores.

I'm loving having Higgins in my team.

Great POD and scoring awesome due to playing as a pure mid.

Was a no brainer choice to start with for IMO.  8)
:P

Hah!

Yeah that's when Higgins was playing as a pure mid.  :P

He is playing more forward now which is why I want to trade him out as his scores are now sucking!

He isn't playing more forward. Did any of you actually watch the game?

He started in the middle at the first bounce of the game and spent the WHOLE LAST QUARTER in there too. He's part of the Ziebell Swallow Cunnington Dumont mix. He was unlucky a few times with a ball bouncing the wrong way etc and probably shoulda had 2/3 goals. Was down on clearances this week, Cunnington had a blinder and that's where a lot of Higgins ball went (he usually doesn't play so well)

Once again too, his kicking efficiency was down. Unlike him. Gotta back him in at this stage.

I am super confident he'll still finish top 10.

Also, just cos he had two shots on goal in the last quarter deep in the forward line, does not mean he was playing forward at the time. Was playing as a pure midfielder 100%.

I admit I haven't watched him the last 2 weeks, just going by what others have been saying and they said that Higgins was playing forward.

Thanks for clearing it all up Wato. :)

One of those late goals spiked his score and he burnt a teammate in the square on another set shot.

Spot on! His last two shots on goal in the last quarter were due to hard gut running, not role changes.

I am reknown to be ruthless over the years with my trading. LOL!

Having said that I have been a bit more calm over the last year or 2.  ;D

Trading him in three weeks ago is fast becoming my worst decision of the season. >:(

Well that's one thing I did right. Trade Pickett to Houston when he was on the bubble. I'll take his 78 as my emergency. ;D

Anyone who traded Higgins in deserves this.. if you started with him fair enough, but if you traded him in.. do you not know who is Higgins is.. this was bound to happen  ::)
