Welcome Bigoa Nyuon
- Thread starter Berwick boy
- Start date
Good luck to the guy and hope he makes it at the Roos as he was only treading water way down the list at Richmond. Still have my doubts about him though
His uncle played a few games with the Saints so maybe that helped a bit in decision making but from what I know his preference was to stay a tiger
Biggy was pick 54 in 2019, we delisted him in Oct 2021 then rookied him in Nov 2021
Pick 65 is fair value

I'm shocked pick 65. That's unreal.
A pick beyond 40 its when our blokes let there hair down and draft quality.
I'm spewing Nth didn't offer us a Rookie pick..
That's where our blokes find premiership stars.
It was AFL lovechild, Norf, who are left with only Corr as their No. 1 KPD. So they were desperate. And they're just loaded with draft picks from AFL dotage, one way or another.
So should have demanded and got more; at least equal to pick 54 IMO. Maybe kept him on a base 1 year renewed contract as depth too to use as greater bargaining chip. Have to remember, Young promising yes, but Balta may still be switched forward, Miller same and chop-out ruck, Grimes is declining. But, happy to trade him out for a decent/better offer. Have to remember, kept him on our list for years putting development into him. Says little good about us that then we only value him as pick 65 after all that.
Norf would have happily delivered this given their dire lack of KPDs. Why do them any favours!? Getting a ton from Uncle Gil.
We have become a soft touch AFL club these days.

Nah, we got a pick for a player we would probably delist, or North could take in the PSD.. thats a win.
as for the rest, i reckon every club in the league would have kept a few athletic talls for a few years in the hope it clicks, and then delisted them when they dont. what would we have done after we kept for another year and he still couldnt get a game? demand a higher pick cos he has been on our list longer?
Guess Biggie gets to renew acquaintances with Cujo playing magoos for #Lolnorf.
I tend to turn into something between Dodoro and Mackie when it comes to rating and valuing RFC players ... because most of the AFL world seems to chronically under-rate them.
You may be right but I didn't think Biggie was without hope myself. His delist is possibly about freeing up salary for additions/extensions and because we might appear to have enough options in tall backs with Young progressing plus Miller. It still sees like getting next-to-nothing back on our 2/3 year investment in $$, coaching and developing, experience.
So I hope Norf don't turn him into a player ... let's see. Happy to get Kosi though - worth a try.
Don’t buy into the sunk cost phallacy. Rare to see a leopard change its spots. (Biggy)
Just noticed X announce it. He's also moved to lolnorf. It's all exciting how we also see players get announced for debut but becomes a bit embarrassing for him and his family when it doesn't last long especially for just 1 game only.
Look on the bright side, he will have equalled his games tally at Richmond in 4 years, where it's only taken him 4 rounds at Norf
Biggie had a few lapses in the third quarter. Three big turnovers and one poor spoil.
He worked hard overall and several times spoiled the ball into the stands. That's where you're supposed to spoil it. His ball use was good. I think he bungled when he got tired.
Thursfield has taken him over to Norfs. Maybe he recruited him to RFC.
I like Biggie. Hopefully he can go on with it.

Probably the best footy he played with our VFL side was when he had to play in the ruck where he used his natural spring really well. Personally I reckon Mutaz has shown more as a key defender in the VFL than Biggie ever did
