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.


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.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
