Western Bulldogs' star midfielder Shaun Higgins hopes an injury-free season can finally take his game to a new level after a frustrating run since making his debut in 2006.
Higgins, who turns 22 next month, dislocated an elbow in his first season, had shoulder surgery in his second, an ankle reconstruction in his fourth and last year was grounded for six weeks with groin and hamstring injuries.
He hopes the next three or four years will be the making of his career after rejecting a lucrative offer from the Gold Coast last year.
