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?

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
