Biggie Nyuon off to North for pick 65 [merged]

[taztiger4]

The interesting thing is Biggie has nominated for the National draft whereas Cumberland hasn't (I'm presuming Noah will nominate for the rookie draft). So Biggie could be drafted and poached by another club in the National draft.

Can you just nominate for the rookie draft? not sure you can.

This is what the AFL draft nomination booklet says:

Q: If I did not nominate for the NAB AFL Draft, can I then nominate for the NAB AFL Pre-Season and/or Rookie Draft?

A: No, because part of the eligibility criteria for the NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft and/or Rookie Draft is that a player must have been eligible for, but not selected at, the NAB AFL Draft. The only exception is a player who has been delisted from the Primary List by an AFL club, who can stipulate if their nomination form is to be held over for the Pre-Season Draft.

Unlike Biggie, Cumberland didn't nominate for the national draft. So I presume he stipulated that his nomination be held over to the PSD/rookie drafts.

That explains it, thanks

Cant wait to see him in action. Good luck mate!

Edit: vid hit in the feels. Some onion cutting here.

[lamington]

If the tigers get up I hope the boys don’t pinch him in the dick

[the claw]

Deserves the chance from what i can gather hes been solid in the two,s.

I see Sonsie had another lazy 30 with reports of good ball use and still no game.

Working on Sonsie's defensive game apparently. Hopefully not a swap to hbf

Big moment from Biggy

When Josh Gibcus was ruled out on Thursday after entering health and safety protocols, the general consensus was off-season signing Robbie Tarrant would return to Richmond's back six. Instead of the veteran, Damien Hardwick turned to a rookie who had never played a game. Bigoa Nyuon didn’t let him down. The 20-year-old, who was born in Kenya into a South Sudanese family displaced by war, wasn't overawed by the level. Gibcus is expected to return next weekend, but with Noah Balta hurting his hamstring, Nyuon should hold his place in the back six.

I don’t think he holds his spot. Doesn’t look ready yet. Can’t remember but don’t think he took a single contested or intercept mark and was beaten 1v1 most times. Maybe was just first game nerves but I’d be playing Miller ahead of him.

[one-eyed]

Dimma said he will play next week with Balta out.

[MintOnLamb]

Will be better for the run
