Project player - 2-3 seasons in the making. 10,000 AFL hopefuls can put together a 60 second clip of highlights, lots of hard work for him to do before we get too excited.

Yep, Biggy is a pseudo Rookie pick, our tall back needs pick with X but still a long shot, (better than wasting a pick on an average Joe).

Looks to be about where Chol was about 3 years ago. Will take a lot of patience and luck to make it. Still think Chol is a long shot

Agree. His biggest issue is the lack of fierce desire to want that ball not matter what. If he could address that somehow then he could be anything. Some personalities just aren't like that and it's hard to change them.

Outside family, there are few things I can confidently say I am 100 percent certain of. One of those is that there will be an African superstar of the AFL. Sudanese currently the fave.

We can see that Chol has all the tools, and wonder what he could be if he put it all together. But he seems a bit...lackadaisical. Who knows with this kid, but if a single immigrant mother of 8 isn't a background for determination and drive, I'll go he. And he's even more physically gifted than Chol. Physically, he's ahead of 99% of AFL footballers. With hard work, belief, drive, confidence, and great coaching, who knows.

He could not be coming into a better environment to give him the best chance of making it. The culture of the club, the Aboriginal band of brothers that has adopted Chol, will make him feel at home. And he gets to learn from Justin Leppitsch, Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt. It's there if he wants it.

Read his sister's bio. Assuming they have the same Dad, their father started and led the South Sudan Liberation Army. The bloodlines would suggest some pretty determined mindset and focus.

Edit: Looks like it's not the same Dad seeing he died in 1996 and Biggus was born in 2001

Think it was actually the People’s Front of Judea.
