Shaun Higgins

[Footyrulz]

I don't quite understand why everyone is so against Higgins.

He's actually only had 1 year in which he's missed more than 5 games.

If he can play 10 and be traded during the byes, that's all we need.

And he's averaged at least 75 in all those years as well which makes him a bargain at 250k.

Actually I think he's had like 4 years were he's missed more than 5 games. I am still considering him though.

This is going to piss me off! Have had him locked in my side forever while everyone else has left him! Now watch everyone jump on...

He's missed 5, 6, 4 and 3, then 19 last year. So not too bad.

I think you're only talking the last 5 years then? He played 4 games in 2008, and 5 games in 2006, due to injury. I know that's a while ago, but his body hasn't exactly become stronger.

Yep i was talking about the last 5 years. I think before that is too long ago.

If he plays 15 games, happy days! Question is when he plays them, and if hes playing round 1!

I read somewhere that between 09-12, he played 1 less game than Buddy. Yet we don't have Buddy on never again lists.

Higgins has been locked into my team since I heard he was fit and firing.

70 odd SC points in 53% game time in nab 2, and now 33 disposals in what is essentially a home and away game for no points, with the best 22 available playing in nearly every game- LOCK!!!!!

If people don't select him, lucky for those of us who do, cos we'll be the ones getting 75-85 for a player priced at half that and make $150k+

On today's effort I've put him in for the first time since prices came out, and he's staying. Todays games have brought on a few changes and clarified the ruck situation a little as well. Team finished pending selections. Cheers all and just 1 off the ton Shorty.    ;D

2008 - 2013

Missy 77 games - 13 per year
Buddy 114 games - 19 per year


2009 - 2012

Missy 70
Buddy 73

2014

Anyone's guess.

As for the never again thing with Buddy -

2008 - 2013 average for Buddy 107 / 88 / 107 / 111 / 116 / 90  -  not many forwards match that
2008 - 2013 average for Missy 42 / 89 / 78 / 83 / 79/ 59 - not that good really

so you would have to be pretty stubborn, arrogant, belligerent, pigheaded, stubborn and stupid to put Buddy on your never again list, whereas Missy is - well - pretty average so you're not going to hurt yourself too much by ignoring him.

A rival team with Missy won't worry you too much as opposed to a team with Buddy who will hurt you more often.

They will both be popular.
