Jack Higgins

[ace]

Higgins hasn't requested a trade and according to Gags the club WON'T be trading it's 2020 first round pick, our next pick is around 60 so
it would have to involve a future pick if this potential trade ever becomes a reality.

HIggins has requested a trade to St Kilda says agent Paul Connors.

How good is he?

He is phenomenal. Natural footballer. Says everything about the Tiges he can’t get a look in there.

Have we acknowledged his output over the past three years?
2018 16 games
2019 9 games
2020 5 games.

Lower output each of those years.

Brain injuries and calf issue aside...is he that better than Lonie?

[magnifisaint]

He's miles better than Lonie. Lonie wouldn't get a game at Richmond.

Not sure where you go those numbers from.

He played 20 games in 18, 13 in 19 and 10 in 20.

SAINT-LEE reported hearing on the radio a potential deal of #17 to Adelaide for #20 & #23 and a player.

That is a deal that gets the Higgins trade done.

Say #17 & Dunstan and a 3rd rounder next year for Adelaide's #23 & #20 & a 4th rounder next year from Adelaide.

Then #20 for Higgins and #23 to the draft.

100% correct

Yep

Goals not games.

Sorry folks

But something to notice too, perhaps?

My boo boo!

But something to recognize, nine the less?

100% correct

That’s my point.
He isn’t getting a game at Richmond either.

Well, I know which Jack will be wearing #13 next year at the Saints and it won’t be Lonie.

If we pull this off , coupled with Crouch this will be an excellent outcome . All season clubs have been able to send their best small defender to Butler, knowing that Lonie, Kent and Hind were unlikely to really hurt them ( acknowledging Lonie had some good games here and there, and Hind one cracker ). Now with Crouch in, Gresham can play more forward again- so we would have 3 small forwards in Gresham , Butler and Higgins all requiring attention and 2 of them in Gresham and Higgins able to rotate into the midfield .

Thanks ace, now to get the deal done.

can anyone remember when players were so eager to come to our club ?

G train, Hamill and Lawrence era I reckon. Been a while lol

yeah but seems to be even more attractive now

[DJ Higgins]

Don't trade away next years second round pick as we may need it is Ben King wants to come home. Jack Higgins is good but due to injuries he cant get games anymore plus he may have already peaked. What I mean by that is that he was always training, eating, learning since he was at High school. He will be handy but not worth selling the farm for. Plus if he stays for another year at Tigerland he will be cheap as chips next year

Would be nice to see a real A grader nominate us. That would really get the place buzzing. Or Ben King. Place would go into meltdown.

There was quite a few in that period ... Callaghan; Powell; H Black; Voss; L Penny

Jack Higgins is only a couple of cms taller than Lonie and doesn't average as many goals as Lonie - but in the finals, where you need a stronger body, I'd prefer Higgins.
Lonie was a non-entity vs Richmond in the tough final.

Higgins is not going to average more than say a goal a game, as a small forward.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Today we have Gary Buchenara telling the world that the Saints should pay up big for Higgins or the Tigers should refuse to deal.

This follows an article last week saying the Saints should pay up big for Crouch or the Crows should refuse to deal.

Do other clubs score this sort of press in trade week?

[SaintPav]

Buchenara is a has been and the analysis is shite. A bit like the p brain and waste of space analysis over in Trump land.

[older saint]

swap first round picks and attach next years 2nd for their 3rd? Not sure how the points work out

Same bloke had Tim English as an A grade player

Not sure about. We had a swag back then.

Ie Also Penny, Powell, Voss.

Capuano did not work out.

But we were certainly a club that attracted players of other clubs for a bit back then.

[SAINT-LEE]

There's no doubt a healthy Higgins would develop into a tidy Milne type. If we get him Ill be praying he stays healthy.
