Welcome!

 

[Football Tragic]

Big boy. Says key position utility but where has he played most of his footy - forward or back?

We've cut alot of teams lunches this draft it would seem - three Academy bids

If that’s true he recorded the identical 20meter sprint time that Philp did who Carlton drafted and had everyone jizz over his pace.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Atleast 5th or 6th in line for ruck, crazy how strong that area is now after years of just Maric

 

[joelsyt]

Looks like we’ve definitely drafted for the future with this years draftees.

Fox listed him as general defender

Welcome to Tigerland Biggy

 

[fargothegreat]

I think he'll be a key defender for us. Too short to play ruck, and we have heaps already

 

[Bojangles17]

Like the other draftees I expect will be put away for at least 12m at vfl , we already have a decent queue of young talent on the cusp of the senior side , suits just fine to have youngsters start in vfl from ground zero

 

[Black Saab]

Welcome Bigoa, you're about to do what many of us can only dream of, play for Richmond. Enjoy it and go well.

I went to high school with two of his brothers. One of his brothers is the former Essendon player Gach Nyuon. He comes from a family of absolute giants, don’t be shocked if he still grows a couple of more cms.

Heard him on SEN last week. Lovely kid. Obviously has the physical attributes, hope he makes it.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Love a project player
Give him 2 - 3 seasons in the vfl and see what we have exciting prospect

Biggyyyyyyy

 

[Bojangles17]

Got some raw talent for sure , reckon he’s a yard quicker and more of a leap than cholly , nice kick of the footy , great hanger he took in the sq too. Is a long term investment

From the article:

Biggie is almost two metres tall but he smashed the 20m sprint at the Victorian state draft combine, clocking the fastest time of all of this year's potential draftees.

An incredible athlete, he's proved very good at reading the play and projects as a dangerous, tall and fast intercepting defender who can pinch-hit in the ruck – not unlike his AFL inspiration Aliir.

Wow! Some real potential here.

Welcome Biggie!
