Definitely struggling, I’ll go against the grain and keep playing him, his atleast having a crack unlike others

I'd want him in the 1sts too. Club knows best.
Maybe he's got a habit of the nerves coz I remember him joking with Rio by showing the trembling of both hands after he kicked that 'throw' ;D goal against the Chokers last season.
Reckon the public spat with the old PT has got to him.
He's better than what he's dishing up. Hopefully gets through this form slump.
Finding form in the 2nd half of the year could be a big bonus.

Its pretty fundamental TT.
its not a rest, but a reset.
the 2nds game is slower and easier.
A 1st player gets more ball and has more time to use it.
they remember how they play and confidence returns.

Hard to drop a guy when you have 6 of your top 10 on the injury list. Thats the issue - we dont have the luxury to drop players on form when injuries just keep growing.
And before you say it - yes, i agree - Boltoin should have played over him, in retrospective theory. In saying that - i would have played Higgins over Butler if that was the case

Yeah but without the crowd pressure and scrutiny that comes with it and also a slower paced game - they can try different things and freshen up more mentally I guess.
I don't think its doing him any favours by playing him. His confidence is shot and getting worse by the game.Mr Brightside said:
Solid point b4p , Rioli in the same boat, however there just the types I’d keep playing, hopefully it will only be a bit of 5 minute brilliance and they’ll be back. In saying that if we get a few back I think Higgins will get a run in the magoosbowden4president said:
He was putrid against Adelaide and average for the last few weeks, but I think people have short memories on here.
Round 1 against Carlton: 17 touches and 3 goals.
Round 3 against GWS: 21 touches and a goal.
Round 5 against Sydney: 25 touches and 5 tackles.
Round 6 against Melbourne: 25 touches and 6 tackles.
Granted those games are a while a ago, and he's clearly badly out of form (and being asked to do too much for a 19 year old), but he can clearly play. Certainly not the write off some on here have made out.

The same could be said for many of our players at the moment. With so much talent, experience n leadership missing from the team this year. Heaps more pressure is feeding downward to players that are more normally solid contributors n role players or simply not very experienced and they are struggling to cope with the constant load.St Kevin said:
Probably the only player in the entire team who hasn't experienced a flat period n seen their form taper off at some time is young Stacka n he's just out there playing party games n having some fun.
