Gee thats not saying much.
Big V and Grimes were our 2 best.
The rest should've stayed at home
Apart from 1 or 2 of them i thought they were a bit ordinary & gave up easy goals. They probably looked like they were okay because early the ball was down there so much.
Played well again I thought. Has slotted in much better than hoped or expected. A rare highlight.
Exactly right.
Was a one touch player early on and then got fumbly.
Will get better and better
Na, that would be Short or Oleg.Straight swap for Menadue spook?
I love Higgo. Love his heart, his footy brain, but our pressure drops when he's in because he struggles to get there. And he cannot *smile* ing kick.
I'm being a bit cheeky here, but Higgo's last game last year was our last loss. Since he's been back we haven't won. His last five games have been four losses and a draw. Before anyone jumps on me, I'm not blaming him for the losses - we were undermanned in the three last year and many other things are wrong at present. But 12 touches v Collingwood, 8 from marks. For a small. 4 ground level touches. Yes, it was his first game. Yes, it was great just to see him out there. But I texted Big Jack over a year ago, before the brain bleed was diagnosed: "Should we trade Higlet?" It would be tough. Ruthless.
Maybe he's a mid. But 1 clearance for the year so far (he's playing forward). 1 goal. Fewer goals per game than any of Rioli, George, Butts or Shai at the same stage.
But it's more the balance of the side. Not enough heat on the oppo.

Some valid points spooker. However for a small forward Higgo's numbers are more than solid for a guy making his way back.
Looks like a world beater next to what Rioli has put out since lock down.
He stays in for now.

The Prince is struggling, fo' sho'. So's George. And Lablett. Gives credence to the word that we've been putting a lot of miles into legs. They're heavy now, so that they may be lethal later.
Higgo can get a kick, and at the moment Dan can't. But ball use is also at opposite ends of the spectrum, Daniel going at 92% for the year, Higlet 55%. The Prince is our #1 heat man, Higgo somewhere above Short but below Jack (R, that is).
