I agree Biggs looked like in fit into the back line nicely, but his disposal is shocking, I hope it is something he can work on!Originally Posted by 707

Reid was injured and Longmire said he and Bird did a good job to stay out there.
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
24 disposals and 6 tackles for Biggs in his first seniors game in a year. I'll take that any day. 21 disposals and 10 tackles from Lloyd too btw.
Decent performance from the team with the early injuries. They half put the cue in the rack but kept going hard enough to register a big winning margin. I was hoping for a Richmond loss tonight so they won't turn up in the last round, but that's looking like a tough match now. Probably a good finals hit out for us though.
Today's a draft of your epitaph
Don't know what game you were at mate but I thought Bigsie's disposal was sweet. a couple out of 24 possies off a HB fell short, so bloody what! He gave some of the sweetest passes and some really beautiful HB. I think you were at a game in an alternative universe!!!!
Biggs & Lloyd were sensational in that they took the play on and developed the play all day. Same of course for Lukie Parker. These players made the play with Macca. This bodes very well for our side going forward. I loved Horse when asked about Biggsie, he had this huge smile on his face and said "Biggsie is becoming a late season specialist'. DUH! I wonder why John!
Crackedactor I think we had a couple of problems injury wise today. But young players came in and played their role & for a player like Shane Biggs, that is still on the Rookie List, to come in and get 24 possies and be named in the best players, possibly getting a Brownlow vote is really incredible. Lloydy was wonderful too. He might not get 30 possies but he doesn't need thirty to hurt you. If this kid gets 21 like today he hurts you because 90% of his disposals are going to be positive.

Yeah Jake Lloyd
Trouble with that is Tim doesn't ruck and isn't capable of rucking. If Reid goes out then either Toby or Sammy N come in.
Poor Armstrong had played a full game in the reserves earlier in the day and he came in as sub because Pendlebury got injured in the warm up. And then Reid was injured right at the start so he ended up playing another 4 quarters!!
Yeah, I've been cheering Richmond on so the last game has some intensity to it.
and so Richmond can finish 9th .......................again
I think Richmond will be pumped for the last game against us. They should win next week against the Saints so we will need to be on our best.
I am kind of happy that the Tigers won.
I want the Swans to feel that they are a real threat.
Not just a "last game of the season, in good form" threat, but a "this team is in killer form and unless we play at our best we will genuinely lose" threat.
Hate the Richmond games - probably my biggest bogie team.
The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.
Apparently Armstrong played 8 quarters yesterday. A full VFL game and backed up for the Reid in the pies last night.
Biggs looked like he had played every game this year.
Was composed and disposal was mostly OK.
It's not very often we get young players that just slot into the team so well.
Especially in the back half where they work so well together.
Pyke is getting back into some form.
Dropped a few marks he would normally have swallowed.
