Cost the Saints the game with 1.6 missing several sitters from set shots including one from 35 out straight in front with 1min to go. 

Played very well but his kicking is ordinary.  Lacking confidence.

No wonder we got rid of him, we got Castanga for that

I don't know why people are surprised

His set shot goal kicking has always been average at best

He was up there as the Saints' best player again tonight but once again he missed another chance in the last quarter to kill off and win the game.

Jack is a dog for leaving us and deserves the saints. I am hoping some of our other currently listed players are watching Brando, Butts and Higgo while thinking carefully about their next move

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

David King believes Saints gun Jack Higgins was dropped for the team’s crucial clash with Sydney because too often “Jack plays on Jack’s terms.”

St Kilda omitted Higgins, who’s the club’s second leading goalkicking this season with 19 majors, in a bold selection statement after its shock 35-point loss to Essendon last week.

It comes after Higgins was touted as an All-Australian contender earlier this season with 14 goals through the opening six rounds, while he’s since kicked five majors from as many games.

Well Higgins walked out on us on his terms so some may say no real surprise.

I can't remember the reasons but we possibly should've kept him. 

Anyone remember why he left?

Was it money or was it Dimma?

Some players just feel entitled.
If he was loyal and patient he'd be getting regular games in the seniors but I think he just couldn't handle not getting regular games in a Premiership dynasty team.  :facepalm
