Higgins is looking to leave Richmond. Saints, Pies, North and us reportedly keen. He has good kicking skills, good footy IQ and decent pace. Could be a good midfield and forward rotation for us.

No inside info at this stage, but watch this space.

    As a junior Champion data ranked him the highest scoring player ever (144 ranking points on average a match). From trade radio just now. I would be willing to give up a future first for him (ouch i know in a strong draft) as he was a first round pick and nothing shows he is slowing down.

    It's a big Yes from me. Working in tandem with Pickett in the forward line under Ben Brown and the Weid would be a huge improvement on this year.

    He literally has dedicated his working life to football, would be good to have that kind of guy in the club let alone for his footy skills.

    Taylor loves him in his draft year.

    I would be going very hard for Higgins. Pickett and Higgins at the feet of Brown and Weideman could be a fantastic combination. Desperately need another pressure player

    My son mentioned earlier today (a couple of hours ago) that he heard (or read?) something which I think he said was from Fox Sports, that he has already nominated a club, but which club that is, is yet to be announced.

    I’d be going strong in looking at landing Higgins.  I think Higgins knows he’s unlikely to get air time in the Tigers right now.
     

    Exactly the smart player we need to create and kick goals. He’d be an excellent small forward alongside Pickett and as a crumbing forward.  He walks into our best 22. 
     

    I can’t see him at the Saints. Gresham and Butler are already their small forwards. They are adding Crouch to their midfield so it’s already crowded.  
     

    Dees make sense for Higgins.

    want him and richmond are sensible wouldn't cost more than a 3rd rounder, maybe a pick we get in for any of our departees depending when they all fall... somewhere between 45-70 or even 4th round-third round swapsies

    Silly boy - apparently is going to nominate St Kilda.

    How can St.Kilda be in for him? Brad Crouch etc... they've loaded up on every Tom, [censored] and Harry and still have cash to burn.

    Smells of the Carlton's down their at RSEA park.

    It does raise eyebrows but Carlisle coming off a monster contract must help.

    Hope we are into him as he along with Brown and Smith will improve our chances next season big time. Also he can run through the mid field using his pace and skills to our advantage. Be very nice indeed to get all three.

    St Kilda bound by the looks of it.

    Next.

    Is this actually confirmed anywhere?

    According to this article he's looking at "Melbourne-based rivals". Can't find anything which says he's nominated St Kilda?

    A few journos on Twitter speculating that the Saints are in the lead for his services, but certainly nothing confirmed as yet.

    Big yes from me.

    Medium forward types we have : Fritsch, Melksham, Hannan , Spargo, ANB, AVB, Jones, Sparrow, Baker, Hunt

    I could easily get rid rid of 4 of them to add to Bennell, Dunkley and Corey Wagner.

    Basically, I'm trying to say that we have room for his type.

    He was a die-hard Saints supporter pre-draft apparently which is where a lot of this speculation is coming from. Was likely the first club he personally went looking for.

    That’s what I thought it must be. It’s hard to compete with that unless you pay massive overs. Which given his injury is a bit of a risk.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
