Toast The Shrine of Shiggsy AKA Keith's Cage

[ScragCity]

Thursday morning at Whitten Oval

Players are waiting to hear their name called for senior selection.

“Picken...Bontempelli...Morris...”

The usual suspects are called first, as always. Then the other guys, the guys who were hoping to get a game but weren't quite sure.

“Webb...Hrovat...Cordy...”

21 players named so far. Who will be the last? Will it be Adcock? Will it be Bailey Dale?

“Biggs.”

The room is silent. The players look around, perplexed by what they just heard. “Who?” they silently mouth to each other. A blond-haired man with smooth features steps forward. With a perfectly sculpted jawline he looks around the room, confident...almost smug. A barely distinguishable, blonde moustach adorns his upper lip, adding to his charm. Every person in the room melts at his beauty, yet they still do not know who he is. Finally, Stringer cannot contain himself. “Who is this man, Coach?” he demands of Beveridge.

“This man plays in our back line. Most of you do not know him. Most posters on BigFooty neglect to place him in their theoretical best 22. When he retires there will be no songs written about this man. He will never win a Brownlow medal, nor a Norm Smith, nor will he place in the top 10 in our best and fairest. For he is the hero that Footscray deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we will forget him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He is a Silent Guardian. A Watchful Protector. A Blonde Knight.”

Best fanfic of 2k16.

Cops a lot of criticism for his clangers, but that's part of the deal with how we want him to play. Over time with more experience & game sense, those will reduce when he knows what will & won't work and what he can & can't do with the footy.

Long live Biggsy Smalls

Shouldn't these things be in the dog tags thread

I wiped one solitary tear from my cheek.

He's still 20-25 in my books. Balance being the key.

 

[Eastdog]

He is an important part of our side. Played well last week.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Much better than your whipping boy thread.

 

[TMoney22]

Watch how many times he gets us out of trouble by finding a dinky short pass or running to space to provide an option. Integral to our backline.

 

[Igloo]

 

[Golden_6]

Definitely feel he is our most underrated player. With all the chaos and the injuries surrounding him, he has essentially been the only mainstay and consistently puts in his good performances every single week.

 

[Bulldogs_6]

Pretty flat that you lost the Libba avatar, Scrag. But this makes up for it.

Damn I thought this was a thread on a prospective sitcom starring Paul Wight...

How about a buddy film starring Paul and Shane? Now that's a photoshop I'd like to see.

His biggest asset is that he is always there - always there as an outlet for a teammate under pressure, always there running trying to break a line, (almost) always there to get a spoil in.

That said, i can't work out if he is a net good kick or net bad kick??

I already beat you to it

Of course, we could have board wide Biggs appreciation.

By our supporters?

Dale is still our most underrated. He's a superstar.

 

[Easton Thighs]

Ima big fan of his. Love it when he sneaks up for a goal.

"Blond hair flopping", as John Arlott said about Jeff Thomson.

Can't see him as the muscle-bound super hero above, though. He has more style than that.

Well, he hasn't broken down yet.
