    Re: Shaun Higgins to wait until post-season before deciding future

    I talk to terry Wallace a little and he tends to think Higgins will go, not sure if its just his feeling or he has some sort of info.
    With maxwell retiring and collingwood maybe needing some experience down back I wonder if that's a possibility.

        Will be interesting to see where he plays for the remainder of the year.

        If he is leaving, I would proudly support the decision to play him in the 2's, and I would make it public in the hope that it doesn't damage the compensation too much (ie. if he's playing VFL because he was 'dropped' for form reasons, value goes down. if he's playing VFL because we knew he was leaving, he holds some value IMO).

            Carlton interested in Western Bulldogs’ Shaun Higgins, Jarryn Geary targeted by Geelong

            Carlton is believed to be very interested in Shaun Higgins while Melbourne and Geelong could also look at adding him to their lists. The talented but injury-prone midfielder could look for greener pastures as he never truly reached his full potential at Whitten Oval. Despite the Bulldogs’ exciting crop of midfielders, Matthew Boyd still has plenty of offer and should play on in 2015 while Dale Morris is a rock in the club’s defence and is reportedly very close to signing on the dotted line. Daniel Giansiracusa is set to hang up the boots and pick up the clipboard as part of the Bulldogs coaching staff.

                Competition is key to driving his price up. Bid away if he doesn't want to stay.

                    Carlton still in denial on the need to rebuild.

                        Carlton are out of control when it comes to rebuilding, though picking up Shaun would be a good move for them IMO.

                        Any team in the league could easily fit Shaun into their best 22. Just because we are taking a certain path with how we want to manage our list - and I do think Higgins will be a part of the long term plan if he stays - it doesn't ultimately mean he's not useful to us and any other team.

                        I don't really think he's a half back, and I don't think any reasonable person could think he's not an AFL first team player. We either have a long term plan for him, or he's done and dusted with us.

                        He should be in our starting 22 each week.

                                Redpath played as a deep tall forward. Austin towelled up Goddard.

                                What do either of them have to do with Higgins not playing?
                                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                                    I would play him in the ones if he is leaving. I don't care whether he takes up a spot for the last half dozen games he needs to show case what he can do for his next club. He needs to be on strict instructions to be playing his best footy - it's the least he can do for the club that has been very patient with him through a number of injuries.

                                    Personally I don't think he'll leave. He is a playing who will play in our next window and the club has been very good with him for a long time. It's time for him to pay back some of that faith.

                                                Hardwick was on one of the Sunday footy shows and one of the panel members suggested Richmond were into Higgo in a big way. It seemed clear from Hardwick's reaction, without saying a word, that it may be the case.

                                                Let the bidding war begin, if so...
