Higlet shoukld be ok but they will take it easy with him.
Don't underestimate how much of a lift that appearance and run during the training with Trossman would've given the team.
He's a pest but they all love him.
Yep the RFC is a different entity and the club many others are trying to emulate but you cannot manufacture what has happened organically at the RFC..

Hardwick flags round one return for 'inspirational' Higgins
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has flagged a possible round one return next year for “inspirational” small forward Jack Higgins.
What a vile, insensitive and non Richmond thing to say. I’ve seen some ordinary posts on here in my time but you take the cake with this heartless rubbish.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
He's not best 22 when his brain is haemorrhaging. But go back to that prelim loss and he was one of the few who stood up that night.
Round one seems optimistic but I'm sure it will be based on the best medical advice. We can afford to be cautious. Football is secondary.
I don't want him to push himself too quickly as his long term health is far more important that an early return to footy. Will be great to see him back but only when medico terms and conditions are met which is something we can rely on with Richmond
Anyone see this? The host says it but Jack repeats he was close to passing away during surgery...or passing out?
I'm sure I read something in the last few days where the doctor was extremely pleased with the outcome of the operation, and his projected recovery time had been reduced dramatically.
Edit: here it is.

Thought i would post this video to cheer us up a little in relation to young Higgo.
I was there when he debuted.
Wasnt he happy with his first goal.
You realize the kid has immense talent when you watch the video.
You realize something must have been wrong (looking back) how he was playing.
The kid is infectious.
In the huddle what a lovely shot of Dusty looking at him telling his team mates a joke.
The kid has courage.
The kid can seriously play.
How ABOUT his acceptance speech for GOTY in 2018?
Enjoy watching this . It will bring a smile on your face.

Lots of positive stuff here but I reckon outside of this too many have forgotten too quickly what an impact this kid had. As a rookie he forced his way into a premiership team and was brilliant! I cannot wait until he's back.
Great call TBH.
Yep he is a pure footballer who stood up on a huge stage in very trying circumstances.
He is progressing very well and im looking forward to CCJ tapping it down Jacks throat for a decade.
So is Jack.
Wouldn’t that depend on how he is playing at the time , was best 22 in 2018 when we were top of the ladder and on a record breaking winning streak at the g.
Bingo. Toohey's said something that I fully agree with around Jack becoming fumblely and double grabbing the ball this year, after all has been revealed, I'm pretty confident his condition affected his performance. At his best, he is best 22 without doubt.
Really excited to see him back out there for the lift it will give the group emotionally as opposed to what he produces on the ground. I think right now our club's footballing performance is lifted by increasing the emotional bonds the players have. It's always been true that the more you care about your teammates the better you perform but it's never been more true then Richmond right now.
Easily best 22 at his best. What he produced in his first year of AFL footy was supreme for a youngster. He'll be back.
