[The Nostradamus]

As the driver of the biggie bus

This game has now turned more exciting

Jump on board folks before we fill up

 

[apollo_creed]

Not expecting much from someone who wasn’t wanted at Richmond and hasn’t necessarily been impressive thus far in the reserves. But clubs can get things wrong and players can surprise so here’s hoping.

 

[Masked Avenger]

Good luck to Biggie. Given his athletic profile - enjoy his upside and excuse his mistakes. Whatever he does, it will be more impactful than a half a dozen of his senior teammates.

 

[WesternRoo]

If he can be third up and nullify the influence of Hawkins and Cameron, He has done his job.

 

[Roostorm]

Best of luck to Bigoa ….what a story… here’s to a magnificent career.
( side note..how pumped was Charlie…love it)

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Get it Biggie.

 

[Roosurgence]

Loved his game, he tired towards the end.

What he did show is that the backline doesn’t need Aiden Corr.

I could happily watch Comben, Dawson and Biggie over that wage thief Corr getting more games. Before anyone brings up the lack of experience, you only need to look at Corr letting his opponent lead up into space early in the game and pointing at everyone else to take the player to know that Corr’s experience is overshadowed by being a brain dead spud.

We also will have Logue to add to that mix.

I liked Biggies game today. He is still raw but there is a lot to work with. Should hold his plce for next week.

Thought he played well early on few nice one on ones.
Intercept marking is there too.
Tired late but never stopped competing

 

[dirtybird]

A baptism of fire for Biggie today and he worked hard all day.
He'll be better for the run.

 

[Albert Parker]

Poor bloke not got a hair messin, head slappin' call to mum debut vid ?

Tough.

Go Biggie GO !

Only a club debut, rather than an AFL debut. His Mum and family attended the game and a presentation was done prior.

I've seen him a few times in the reserves.

He has attributes. Hope he stays in

He surely is in front of that mega potato Corr?

 

[Ischenko]

Persist. Nice mark, good kick, goes hard. Footy nous so so but I’d love to see him in a side with a midfield that applies pressure and with Logue and Dawson taking the two talks so he can peel off and intercept. You’d imagine the coaches would be happy with his game.

Far from our worst today. Deserves a few more games at least.

Was in our bests easily.

Considering the amount and ease the ball was going inside that F50 he was very good.

His positioning was great. Something his more experienced teammates could learn from.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Really liked his game today. Need to get him in the gym to fill out a bit more but defs has some handy attributes

 

[CURVE]

One howler, but otherwise thought he was very good. I hope he stays in and Corr is replace by Dawson, although that will leave us with three very inexperienced talls in our defensive end.

 

[SMaturin]

Gets to the drop really well. Has good closing speed. Will fill out very well.

I like it.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Was impressive, hope he stays in. Better than Corr

Corr is only experienced in games played, but when it comes to football nous he is no better than a kid with less than 10 games.

I would argue that the backline as a whole would function a lot better without his idiotic positioning and brain fades.

Watch early in the first quarter when he just lets his opponent lead up into space unopposed and starts pointing at everyone as if they should have taken his opponent.

The bloke provides nothing but confusion and the quicker he is out of there the better.

 

[Possession]

Stays. Embryo backline forming with him and Chom. Corr should be out for Dawson but I doubt that happens.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Liked his couple of contested marks, and he used his closing speed to nullify a few contests. He got caught in no man’s land a few times on Cameron, but other than that he played pretty well.

Makes good decisions ball in hand too which is nice!

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Did OK for his 2nd game. Sure he missed a couple of kicks, but plenty of upside and worth persisting with.

 

[King Corey]

Have liked him from his preseason form on. Rangy, agile and competitive. Hits low bullet passes.

Hopefully just a victim of Richmond's depth. Would get amusing but not amusing if he has a better NMFC career than the other Richmond's d guy we coughed a F2 for.
