    I can see you at your work desk with a feather and ink pen struggling away at the task. My emotion towards this is one mixed with happiness and pity.

    I'm certainly not tired of hearing about how great a season Shaun Higgins is going to have. Looking forward to January next year already.

    I was pretty happy with my effort. Pity t didn't lead anywhere.

    l disagree. Cross is a graeat player but sometimes hard decision's need to be made to build the team for the future. If you look at all the clubs that have reached the ultimate prize they will not hesitate to move on a fading star.

    Higgins will always look good in the drills they do in pre season. He is lost in the intensity of a game when required to 'crack in" and get his hands dirty. We won't miss Shaun.

    I did say I understand why it happens, but I am old fashioned enough to think that AFL is a lesser game because of it

    Not old fashioned at all. Slightly romantic perhaps......
