Player Watch #28: Bigoa Nyuon

[The Nostradamus]

He was limping in the first. Not sure if he's playing at 100%.

Yeah thought it was just a corky

Which might have been a bad one that restricted movement then on

 

[Psi-Roos]

Did we recruit recruit him because we need backman of size and he IS listed as a backman and his name sounds like Big One?

I remember playing for Dingley Under 17s in a game against Cranbourne in the old SWGFL. We were a bad team and I was a bad player given a job that was above my capacity. At some point in the game I got a knock on my thigh which hurt but I made a point of limping around for a while maybe hoping that I'd be taken off, or at least hoping that someone would buy it as a reason I was getting pantsed. Neither happened.

North Melbourne is Dingley U17s 1988. Biggie is me.

 

[RightWingRoo]

He was decent against the Cats, not sure what the hell happened today.
Has to be up there with some of the worst individual games played by a North player.

 

[Harris 10]

it was as if he’d never played the game before.
The amount of WTF moments he gave us was nearly the same as our turnovers.

 

[berniemccarthy]

He does not watch the ball. He watches his opponent. Therefore he can never affect the play positively and will always be behind his opponent. Horrific today.

To be fair the guy is 3 games into his career. A big task for any new player!

Yep, saw the exact same thing. I think it was in the last quarter. Ball was kicked to Chol on our fwd flank, Biggie was 5 or so meters away. Biggie never looked at the ball once, just watched Chol the whole time and in the end, Chol took a rather uncontested mark. That's just really bad football.

 

[Augustine]

Hmm I don't think he was too bad. I think we had ten worse players out there.

Yes, looked to be playing injured. Get off this two game player’s back

 

[Zondor]

I’m breathing easy knowing that Biggy is on our list. This helped me immensely when I recently suffered a punctured lung. :stern look

 

[koshari]

Obviously affected his brain

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Made Chol look like Wayne Carey.

That probably had something to do with our midfield being pantsed all day.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

He either refused to, or was incapable of putting pressure on his man. Yeah he got a knock early but I don’t give a crap. If you’re on the ground then you play for keeps. Continued half hearted efforts allowing his man to run off him like he wasn’t even out there. Had no idea what was happening with his man in the vicinity or what he should be doing. Completely clueless.

I’m rarely this harsh or ruthless about a player, especially after only their 2nd or 3rd game for the club but he should NEVER wear our colours again. Brady you’re a shocker!!!

Why wasn’t he subbed in the 2nd?

 

[Reagan Smash]

When you neglect the list you end up going to the dump and picking up useless scraps

 

[Jimmac31]

Looked lost. But he also didn't make up for that with any sort of effort. Dawson (if fit) or Pink has to replace. Then eventually Logue.

As someone else mentioned, he has a good reach and I really like his field kicking. I argue we should have thrown Biggie forward instead of Chom. Get him to focus on the ball and not the player.

 

[Mixed Results]

The scheme does him no favours and I like him more than Pink.

I think you have to persist with him until Kallan Dawson is back. There's no point between switching back and forth between Pink and Nyuon every other week.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

I am seriously afraid to check the Aidan Coor thread based on what I'm seeing here in this player thread. I suspect there will be some seriously heavy comments over there.

Time to do a poll....
Who would you have in the side atm....Biggie or Corr.
No other choices or comments are accepted..

Where does it say we have to play three key defenders? I'd get Archer in and let McDonald play tall. Not perfect least we wouldn't be a footballer down on the field to start the game.

 

[Its a Process]

Agree.

Archer and/or Hardeman to release Sheez.

I really like this idea, and will now be disappointed with any other outcome.

 

[Heaps of fun]

At least two of Archer, Hardeman and Bergman should be play irrespective of form. There's an argument for all three. Would get Sheezel out of defence and Fisher and Biggy out of the team. Maybe play George too so Scott can go back to the wing. It's just a horrendous situation.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I really like this idea, and will now be disappointed with any other outcome.

I guess the issue is Comben gets less freedom but, in his words, he believes his role is to line up on the #1 forward to begin with. I'd trust Archer to block for Comben over Biggy, Fisher, Scott or any other reject that lines up in our back six.

 

[Tiberius]

I agree with this. Biggie's height is almost irrelevant going off yesterday because he never actually competes with his opponent one on one in a marking contest or initiates any kind of body contact. He didn't block, push or scrimmage. He's usually zoning off 5 metres away. His most eye catching moments are when he comes third man over the top of a contest to spoil, which only happens when opponents have failed to spot his man in 5 metres of space. His lack of defensive pressure or physical contact was glaring yeterday.
