Right now at afl level Biggs 2 wood 7
I reckon that's about fair on Wood. I don't know if Biggs should be so low though. Maybe a 4. He showed some things. I agree with you that Wood isn't quite AA yet. He was huge against Freo though.
 
Biggs will be ok, especially when he builds up a bit of cohesion with the other defenders. A good defence works together and that rarely just happens from the get go. With Boyd being in and out, Morris injured, Roberts and Biggs being fresh on the scene and Webb missing the chemistry wasn't there yet.

Good sides have a settled back six and having Ruff moved in and out of the ruck has compounded the above issues.
 
I thought he was OK and definitely not among our worst. Sure he missed targets but so did others who are normally great kicks (Murph coughed up a goal that way, for instance).

It's hard to judge a player on a day like that because everyone's game looks bad when your side is not getting enough of the ball and when players aren't working hard enough to feed and protect each other and to spread when you've got the ball in hand.

By all means let's give him a couple more games. We've got to find out what he's capable of. Little will be achieved by immediately dropping him to the VFL. All it will do is destroy his confidence. It is different if you get 3-4 games and fail to deliver. Then you understand and expect to be dropped.

I thought he didn't show much and his disposal was poor but it was only one game so he should get the benefit of the doubt. What did surprise me was how skinny he was after so many years in the system. Must be an elite runner.

Yes he seems a wee little man.

Biggs lack of composure in space was Tutt like. Compare him to Webb who slotted in straight away and showed great composure and execution.

As others have said, just have to give Biggs a few games and see how he goes. Recycled players rarely work out so odds aren't great for Biggs, but hopes are high I guess.
 
He works hard a few times he ran 100+ meters getting to several contests without getting a disposal
 
No point beating around the bush he was crap on Sunday. Made poor decisions with ball in hand, his one true one out moment as a defender he was embarrassed by Hogan (no hanging offence). All the run and carry he showed in the VFL for whatever reason was non - existent, seemed in too much of a hurry to get rid of the pill.

He is better than that. Think like Hrovat a few weeks ago, he was just so amped to be in the side that they got a bit overwhelmed and tried too hard rather than playing their natural game.

He will improve no doubt.
