Jack Higgins nominates Saints

[shrodes]

Wonder how much we'll need to pay for him

[St Loxton]

Good get if it works out.
Probably Lonie move to dogs imminent.

[damienc]

Excellent news.

[fugazi]

Wow, almost thought he'd decided to stay put.

Good work.

Future second?

[Saintmatt]

[fugazi]

Exchange first rounders with Tigers and future 3rd?

[diddley]

On BF the talk is that Richmond has already knocked back a future second.

He is referring to personality, Gresham has always been half assed with the song. Wilke gave it his all but Higgins has that cheeky nature required to honour Milney

The benefit with Higgins is he can rotate into the midfield.

[SAINT-LEE]

We are taking a very serious risk with a young man who's incurable condition could never reoccur or he could literally have a brain bleed so severe and swift he dies on field.

I dont reckon its worth it.

I don't quite understand this. Higgins has returned and played X number of games for the best team in the comp after his episode. I am sure the medical team, a team who has and is monitoring McCartin & Roberton. I've total faith in Higgins doctors & our doctors.

I think he can only improve us. He has plenty to prove.

Oh when the saints

[SaintPav]

Nice highlights

[Goose is king]

Looks like he kicks a lot of St Kilda style goals

[Enrico_Misso]

Hopefully he will bring that ability to break the rules and get away with it as per his "throwing the ball round the post" goal!

I don't want anyone to think I don't like the lad. He has talent.

He also has a genetic condition called Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), also known as cerebral bleed, is a type of intracranial bleed that occurs within the brain tissue or ventricles. Basically his blood vessels can weaken and burst, causing localised bleeding in his brain. Symptoms range from blurry vision and migraines to the rare - death. This will not go away. Its incurable but also may never reoccur in this severity again. It also can not be predicted like someone with diabetes can test blood sugars.

He had become quite wonky, missing targets by hand and foot as well as consuming a lot of analgesics. The club doctors pulled him aside only for him to admit it had been occurring for weeks. He went for a scan and the brain bleed was found resulting in two major surgeries.
He did recover which is awesome. Next time he might not.
This is the thing, its more than a calculated risk, it is known he gets brain bleeds and could permanently affect his life.

Is the affected by playing football.

I mean obviously a head knock is one thing but is the condition aggravated by intensive exercise?

Is it something that he perhaps had to get better at managing or does he essentially live with it and it happens when he does?
