Sam Edmund added that Higgins' heart is in joining St Kilda but the issue is he is contracted to Richmond. Tigers want maximum compensation as they believe Higgins upside is huge.

BT, a caller to SEN suggested your trade scenario: Higgins +  pick 40 for the Saints' pick 17. Sam Edmund said that looked from the outside doable.

Only worth doing if we think Higgins has less upside than this year's #17 draft prospect.

I love it when contracted players ‘hearts’ lay elsewhere.
Mate, you’ve been unavailable for selection for more than 12-months, we still gave you opportunities soon after your return, you didn’t deliver... get better and opportunities will come.

Higgins + 19

For

15 + 2021 2nd (approx 33 based on 2020 finish).

Don't want anything less than mid 2nd.
Thats a good scenario. We always look to accomodate our players and that is a fair and importantly doable scenario imo

Three flags in 4 yrs its probably time to start getting people out of their comfort zones.

Ross Lyon has urged Higgins to remain at Richmond.

Directing his comments on camera to Higgins, Lyon said: "Richmond has nutured you." He would be telling Higgins to stay at a good club like Richmond, prove yourself and work your way back into the 22.

Wossy espousing loyalty, there is a certain irony in that :)

Sounds fair to me....

I must admit I’m not a Higgins fan but my mate is who knows footy pretty well.

I just don’t think he is suited to our style of play.

Draft points wise that trade would be too cheap.

Pick 17 (1025 pts) - Pick 36 (502 pts) = 523 pts

That's equivalent in draft points to us receiving pick 35. Too low for Higgins.


Better for us to trade Higgins + Suns' future 3rd for St Kilda's pick 17.

Assuming Gold Coast finish bottom 6 next year, then their future 3rd which we now hold would be approximately pick 42-45 = 350-400 pts.

Pick 17 (1025) - F3 (350-400) = 625-675 pts

That's the points equivalent to the Saints handing us pick 28-30 which is the minimum selling price for Higgins IMO.

Effectively, Higgins & Markov for the Saints' 1st rounder (pick 17).

Your one Andyy is doing the rounds again:

Pick 21 & Higgins for Pick 17 & the Saints' future 2nd rounder.

Not happy with that straight swap for 17 that's it our first round not involved if anything they get a 3rd pick.

I don't care that they want to use their first round pick or told Crows they wouldn't use it for Crouch. He was out of contracted
Pick 17 for Higgo (take it or FO)...

BF rumour the deal is done.

2021 2nd rounder + sweeteners (pick swaps probably, points for MRJ).
