Bully's love child lol..

read how he goes in the last game before rd 1.Personally I won't be re-arranging my side to try to squeeze him in.

;D If Missy lasts 9 rounds then Bully will be happy, it will not be a long term bromance.

There's "if", and there's "when". When do you think this will happen? Not this year Bully!

You just wait for Missy in Action!

Totally love that pun!

don't know about the 3rd, but I reckon I've seen him twice in the last qtr.. reckon he will be getting the vest both ways during the season..

Solid call, HT!

No its not IMO. Perhaps a chance of the sub in the first game or two - but not a prime sub candidate for the rest of the season. Doesn't suit his game style and we have Gia who has clearly been mooted as the main Sub candidate as he is phased out this year. We also have about 20 kids to get games into that are much more likely to be sub than Higgins.

Hey twinkle, twinkle, you little star,

Thoughts on MacRae?

Sabretooth Tigers

A fit Higgins has potential to burn. But this Higgins has fitness and longevity to prove. Would dearly love to see him make it, and hope he does. Not for me though. Cheers.    :(

HotTiges

Old twinky boy! Good call on Gia forgot about old Salt and Pepper..still think Higg will have a few stints as sub or be subbed especially when he inevitably breaks down or back from injury again.

Hey twinkle, twinkle, you little star,

Thoughts on MacRae?

Reckon he'll be a star but a big ask to turn elite in second year - which he'd almost need to to justify his price over a rookie. But I do think he'll play almost every game fit, and reckon he will average over 80. Wouldn't be crazy and I've considered it. But I do also have Griff and Libba  :D

Im not sure what he averaged last year unsubbed but I reckon it wasnt far off 80 - he did have a 101 and a 99.
I though he looked very green last year too - grown a couple of cm and added 10kg - very neat by foot - very good chance to avg 90 IMO
But it is just mid priced madness


As far as Missy goes - Macca did mention him when talking about adding polish to the team and he is likely to play down back. Still not sure he makes rd1 team although we are last cab off the rank

A sweeper's role would be very SC friendly, I'd back him in for 80+ if that proves to be the case.

Dayze

He has made his way for the first time this preseason into my draft.
Cannot believe it.

With murphy out for a bit that half back role could b very lucrative.
Will b watchin missy like a hawk next game.

GM

Higgins at his price and with limited fwd rooks should be a lock
if named RD1.

GCSkiwi

It's looking more and more like Pav -> Higgins if my rookies don't get up round 1. Free up 200k and make some upgrades

According to Jay Clark on twitter has been playing off half back in the practice match against Carlton at Visy Park today. 30 disposals by 3/4 time. Has to be in consideration for F5/F6 spot

Higgins is pissing me off. His body is weaker than piss, but he scores so well when it holds up.
