A vital cog in the Bulldogs forward line, Shaun Higgins finally surpassed the 100 game milestone in round 14 2012 against Essendon. The highly touted utility is also capable of playing through the midfield and providing run and carry out of defence when required. Higgins was picked up in the 2005 AFL National Draft with the Bulldogs first round selection (pick 11 overall).
Playing out 19 games for the season, the 24 year old was a consistent contributor to the scoreboard bagging goals on 13 occasions. Despite playing only one extra game on last year, Higgins managed to kick ten more majors to place third in the Club’s goal kicking. A hamstring injury briefly interrupted his season but he returned in round 21 to play out the year.
The skilful utility played 18 games for an average of 21 disposals, including a career-high 32 disposals and nine marks against the Suns in round three. Finished top 10 in the best and fairest and, with 87 games under his belt, will look to take another step forward this season.
