Not fair game but they would be easier to hit as they wouldn't run as quick.

Outstanding!

Re: Following our ex's...................

I'm with you. Like Wallace & Nathan B, I'm sure in years to come many might thaw their frustration. But that's many more years for me to get close.

After a certain win last year I felt cleansed of most of the bitterness I hold from the past. 1997, 2009 and Ryan Griffen were top of my list. That pain was worth it to experience the best day this Buldog fan had ever experienced.

For me, 1997 & 2008-2010 went away. But while he's still playing, at least, I'm not ready to forgive him.

Well it's not like a love him and wish him success. His time with us, in my eyes is gone. He's just a nothing now, a nobody player on another team.

More than anything, like Geelong people were like when Leigh Colbert walked out, I hope he retires without a premiership. Just like Leigh Colbert.

Don't worry, that won't be for long.

Re: Following our ex's...................

The debate about whether we should've tried harder to secure Jong or Hrovat, got made a little easier today. And Higgins, your arrogance to turn your back on a teammate for a certain goal and then missing, in a 3 point game... Thanks.

Re: Following our ex's...................

I'd have Higgins any day of the week over Jong.

As for him turning his back, I think the impact was a bit over stated, players close ground really quickly these days and any short pass over the top may have resulted in the receiving player being pushed wide to receive it by the time Higgins actually got back to dispose of it anyway.

He did it twice, he burned Swallow in exactly the same way in the first half as well.

Give me Jongy any other day of the week. I reckon Ling is far more likely to retire as a premiership player and apart from the out and out superstars that is by far the biggest mark of a successful career.

Higgins is a pretty good player with an inflated opinion of his own ability. Jong is becoming a good player who has always had a deflated opinion of his own ability.

But it's not Higgins & Jong, it's Higgins or Webb and Jong or Hrovat. Higgins would be cream, but I'm very optimistic about Webb in the role at the top level.

Granted I've always rated his type more so than others have, he plays one of the hardest one or two positions in the modern game, and does it bloody well.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Don't miss Hrovat one bit. Thought he'd be good for North, but he's always rushed & prone to shanking it badly. Not the type you want deep in the trenches in September.

Which Higgins? The BMac half back flanker, that wouldn't run both ways and got dropped, or the mid sized forward?

The mid sized forward, clearly. It's a non issue, but I always thought he'd flourish under Bevo in the role.

Me too. I think his preseason training and news reports of same could've been outstanding under Bevo. As for today, I'm surprised a missed almost certain goals with his kicking. Happy, but surprised.
