Bulldog hoping for an injury-free season

BRENT DIAMOND - February 7, 2010

Western Bulldogs' star midfielder Shaun Higgins hopes an injury-free season can finally take his game to a new level after a frustrating run since making his debut in 2006.

Higgins, who turns 22 next month, dislocated an elbow in his first season, had shoulder surgery in his second, an ankle reconstruction in his fourth and last year was grounded for six weeks with groin and hamstring injuries.

He hopes the next three or four years will be the making of his career after rejecting a lucrative offer from the Gold Coast last year.

Theres only one Shauny Higgins.....only one Shauny Hiiiiiiiggins.

He would be in my top 2 players I wouldn't ever want to get rid of..I thought he was very sharp yesterday and prob had most disposals with the majority being effective..It's scary hes not even 22..

He plays midfield yet he kicks plenty of goals aswell..theres not many other players like him.

No he is an absolute gem didn't get down yesterday but thought he really showed a ton of leadership last year and as you say Alexxx he isnt even 22 with him and Cal Ward in the mix for the next ten years I am very happy.

Actually I hought he was BOG for the day, but I was more interested in some of the other young recruits.

Liam Jones I thought had a great game so did Roghhead.
Bt Honestly I thought the whole crew put in a stellar effort.
I was very impressed with Josh Hill. I believe he has realised were he wen't wrong and is ready to step up just like Jarrod H did last year. We may see some good things from Josh this year Hopefully a tad up the ground likeHalf Fwd Flank
