Bye Bye Jack Higgins!

Was Abletts mark over Gary Pert a mark?, let alone mark of the year, then became the mark of the decade

Jack's goal will be on every highlight real for the next 100 years.
 
We're probably going to need him to play more midfield with no Prestia, Conca or Graham. Don't think there's much at VFL level, beyond the usual suspects who have flattered to deceive at AFL level.

He's risen to every challenge that's been thrown his way so far. Keep grabbing that midfield responsibility with both hands Turbo.
 
Of course it's goal of the year. Never seen anything like it in all my years. Pure genius.
14 of 20 possessions were contested. 2nd most clearances behind Prestia. Lead the team at stoppages. 2 goals.
How good can this kid be?
 
Loved KB the player, but has acted like a dead set flog since getting the sack as coach. Wants nothing to do with the club, then acts like a one eyed supporter, then undermines current players. Just shut up old man.

I agree that his midfield work is coming along nicely. I think we’ll see him line up at the first centre
Bounce against Geelong with Martin and Cotch I’m Prestia’s absence.

Ratings for his show must be down.

wow
 
It is amazing that after the beauty of last year, that we pick up this kid who complements everything about the new Richmond.
Be yourself, enjoy your footy, work hard, excting and attacking, have fun, and love your team-mates.
I am sure there are many outsiders that are most envious..

theres definitely a template for A Richmond Man.

the S.A u18 Capt - Luke Valente - this year seems pure Richmond Man.

It would be cool if we won the premiership after every S.A u18 Capt we recruited.

Yeah I reckon he fits the mound. And the need.

With Graham & Prestia out, we really are light on for extractors.

Release “The Miles.”

Surely the SA clubs wouldn't make the same mistake as they did in overlooking Graham?

They aren’t sexy types, not trendy, just workman.

Worpel is this years version. Just win footy in tight so the disposal efficiency drops.

All of a sudden, there are “kicking issues”. And most of these types aren’t athletically gifted.

Put those things together and the player drops like a stone.

we're off topic, but you'de reckon we'd be in the ballpark for Valente around pick 20?

Graham AND CCJ were SA capt's right? Valente would make a three-peat?
 
Jack is getting a lot of good media this week. Let's hope his game isnt negatively impacted.

Said it before the personality is overshadowing the production.

Performance wise he is a top 5 pick this year. Numbers stack up against any mid taken in last years draft.

Absolute steal. And I had questions over if he could be a mid. Dead wrong & Bully was right the production was there.

Classic new Richmond thinking, embrace what players can do.

Interestingly, only 5 of us gave Higlet a vote.

and 60% of Higlet vote givers are punters

I guess we tend to be more alert to eye-catching moments than more most :don't know

Graham was definitely SA captain but not sure on CCJ.

just googled, and yeah, weve drafted the last two SA u18 captains.

So Valente would make a 3-peat.
