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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
