Bye Bye Jack Higgins!

The only good thing about that show ..both in the personality and football sense IS Daisy Pearce!

Totally agree. Stupid, dumb and embarrassing questions. Trying their best to extricate as much as they can from a young guy who's got 'that funny voice'. A bit the same on what the media tried to do with Dusty in his earlier quieter years when he was too shy to speak publicly.

How about getting some real hosts!
He did ok. They're largely the same set of questions they ask all their guests. One of the most lightweight footy shows out there.
 
Missed on the rising star, Adam Cerra who should have got it a month ago received it.
 
When i saw Ashbury tell him to hand the mike back to Taylor. I was rapt.
The media are waiting for cracks to appear and are laughing along at the moment.
But as soon we lose, the will use everything against us. Laughing during a game. Pranks before the game. Joke time in the middle of the game.
He needs to pull his head now and concentrate on his game.
I was rapt to Asbury slap him into place.

Didn’t see it as a slap Zips. More like a senior family member protecting a young ‘un. The start of 3Q joke was an internal thing and was always going to be stopped when it started getting flogged to death by the media.

I agree on this one. Looks like a bit of a larrikin Higgins but needs to keep a lower profile until he earns it. Was impressed how Astbury handled that.

All a bit like Lloyd at the start of the season saying we looked too happy and having fun which was a sure sign we weren't taking things seriously and would go the way of the Doggies.

Higlet is too young to know what's going on and wouldn't think to push back a 'star' like Taylor. Dave was just the big brother stepping in and showing him how to handle that sort of situation.

Yep i loved it too zips.

I hope Astbury was just treating Taylor like the smuck that he is.
 
Jack doesn't seek the attention. He's getting it. And his, I'll call it, impulsive and unfiltered communication manner thrills idiots like Taylor.

"He's so fresh, open, honest, a character; he enjoys himself like we all did before we became God's Gifts to sport and entertainment... Isn't it wonderful?"

Oh yeah. Wait til he hits a rough patch. They'll come down on him very hard.
So *smile* transparent.

He doesn't need "slapping down." ( Don't think thats what Dave was doing.)He does need helpful people around him though.

I think he was uncomfortable at the end of that stalking Brian. He didn't know how to get out of it.

Btw Anyone notice Alex say "thanks Bruce"?

Then compounded his ineptitude by seeking a word with 'Reece Conca', and walking up to Nick Vlastuin, and saying Hi Reece.

I think he said "thanks, Briss" as in Bristle.

That's the problem for Higlet, just a barely noticed role player. Job's made easy by being in the reigning premiership side sitting on top of the ladder. Take no account of the fact the kid has been good enough to firstly break into the side ( with the least amount of injury issues ) but also hold onto his spot when more mature players have been pushing for selection.

Poor bugger will be lucky to get a nomination n barely get a sniff in the voting. That Colonwood kid would be right up the top of the voting charts at the moment.

Wasn't nominated again.

Fremantle got another one. Cerra.

To be fair to Cerra, how'd he not get the nomination VS Adelaide a few weeks back. 30 touches, 4 tackles in a game they won by 3 points!
