Reported on Talking Footy that he could be on the move. North offering 1 year and is looking for 2 year deal.

Would you?

How old is he?

Same draft as Jones so probably around 31 and yes we should take him, dangerous forward and mid.

I’m a yes, brilliant outside player with great skills. 


5 years ago yes, one of my fav players. Now, maybe. An upgrade on Lewis and Jones? 

Too old, quite possibly. We can’t keep being a nursing home for a year too long.

What makes him a ‘dangerous forward’? He’s kicked 7 goals this season. 

He’s having a good season but at his age a one year contract makes sense, two years may be a little risky.

He is a smart player and good decision maker, he has kicked fewer goals this season as he has predominantly played midfield. A player who has the ability to kick 39 goals in a season would fit that description.

Even if he gave us nothing in the second season (depending on his salary). I would prefer that to having someone like Stretch clogging up our list.

Yes


Players with his level of skill, awareness and decision making always stay in the game longer. 

I'm up for upgrading our list and at this stage, age shouldn't be a [censored] factor if the player in question has a blend of attributes that we're crying out for. 

We're second [censored] bottom on the ladder. 

No doubt the cushies on here will churn out the usual, "nah but we need to give games to player x, y and z". (Meanwhile another year goes down the gurgler).

Fair points. 

I think the best parts of Higgins won't fade with time, he's a beautiful kick, a good leader, and very smart. i'd feel  much better with him on a wing than i do with Jones out there.

To clarify this, he is contracted for 2020 and looking for a 2 year extension on top of this. I just lost any interest.

Found it strange that North would only offer 1, but now it makes sense.

I wouldn’t mind him coming, very good player and doesn’t look like slowing down any time soon. Fox Sports reporting Geelong have emerged as a potential front runner to get him. Seriously, is there anyone not linked to that club?

And how the hell can they fit him into their salary cap?!

100% yes, he would transition beautifully to an outside player with great skills.

3 years for a player that would enter next season at 32?

Just now, Watts the matter said:

yeah 3 years is a lot, no doubt about that.. would offer 2 with a 3rd as an option but put it this way, someone will likely offer him 3 years, and they could get 2 pretty good years out of him. 

I guess it depends on what he costs and how we would get him.


Yes, but no problem if we let him slide by. In recent years we have recruited Daniel Cross and Jordan Lewis. Both of these have been very positive recruits, so another of the same quality might be required seeing that Lewis is retiring.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
