Bye Bye Jack Higgins!

25 touches. A midfielder through and through. With our injuries he’ll keep getting a chance.

Yep he doesn’t hold back - what a great first season he is having - the last first year player to do as well for us was Rioli I reckon

Rising star?



Possibly, broken into a premiership team & equited himself pretty well.

But who knows what their criteria is.

Some interstate kid who had 12 touches and kicked two goals will get it. Cant have the premiers and ladder leader with rising stars too
 
I was concerned we were carrying him in the side when he was playing in the forward line.

Absolutely bloody love how he's going as a mid. Fish to water type stuff.
 
Going well and when he get his handling right will be a permanent fixture in midfield. Tracking very nicely and even more so when you realise he is a first year player
 
Most complete, football savvy game so far. He's arrived. Higgo, Higlet, The Professor. He's the real deal. We are so lucky!
 
I likened him to Boomer a bit after the first couple of times I saw him, I sold him short his a hell of a lot harder at the footy then Boomer, absolute genuine boneafide midfielder.

Like Chimp he is very good overhead.
 
Lost a bit of respect for Higgins when he told BT he drops at Dusty Divot instead of Tilted Towers.
 
anyone notice BT seeking him out in the rooms to take advantage of his media currency, found him and started taking advantage,

and Dave Asbury leans over and goes

'tell him to *smile* off and do his own work Higlet"

and Higlet looks at Dave, and looks at BT and essentially goes

"*smile* off and do your own work"

it was an outstanding passage of play by Dave :clap

25 disposals through the middle from Higlet in game 10 is extraordinary.

weve got another 200 gamer.

I missed the BT thing but you're on the money, Easy. 200 gamer. As he matures a bit he'll cause a lot a headaches for the opposition.

Only knock on him is his kicking (set shots for goal and some disposals when under pressure). I have confidence that over the summer they'll work hard on his set shots, and the general disposal stuff will naturally get better as he matures/calms. He's a hyper kid at the moment.

Gotta love what he brings to the group.
