Bye Bye Jack Higgins!

Higlet should only be dropped for another small manic forward. Stangle, Bolton or Rioli when he’s ready. It’s as much for learning and developing the next batch as it is for team balance.
 
Early days I know, but is anyone else concerned by his set shot kicking for goal?

Misses by a long way most of the time.
 
Mops I've been saying it for weeks that he can't kick over a jam tin. The coaches need to work on it with him as he is a worse set shot than George.
 
Might be playing VFL next week replaced by Tyson who on form needs to be rewarded.

No disgrace for the Higlet but time to go back and work on some facets
 
Has been out of his depth for a month now.
Don’t get how he is in front of Stengle?
Dimma must look at draft positions rather than form.
 
He's getting to the right spot, needs more luck. Keeper for next week even though he didn't do much this week.

Yep. The more games in 1sts, the better for him.
 
Reward good form in the twos not gift games because Hardwicks kids are fans.
 
Playing like a kid who’s only played a handful of games.
His doing okay ;)

Having watched the 2s a lot lately I don't think there is an obvious replacement for Higgins. Stengle would be the obvious and I wouldn't be against it but Stengle still has these habits of ball watching every now and then. I just don't think Stengle will provide much more than Higgins is giving atm although he'd undoubtedly be more exciting to watch when he does get in the play. I reckon Higgins a straight swap for Stengle next week, one for the sake of Dreamtime and two to give him some further important game experience at AFL level. It's such a shame that Bolton (now injured) hasn't fired up this year and not really in any deserving contention for a spot. Hopefully he has a better back half of the season.
 
Needs to go back to the VFL and develop his game. His paddling at AFL level at the moment.
 
Like what he brings keep playing him will only get better
Just a few composure mistakes that will come

It learns to shoot straight. Come back into the 1s when you can kick a goal from 20m-30m out.


Kicked a nice one from 50 today!! Just didn't register on the scoreboard
 
wrapped he kicked one from 50.
