Jeez how's the leap? Haha

I know the Bullants aren't a good side but those were some great defensive marks. Shame there wasn't more footage of his ruck work.

Surprised he wasn't in the conversation to play back.

[lamington]

with broad out surely they might roll the dice on him? can take a contested mark in defensive 50 which to me is a savagely underrated stat.

Tigers tall being monitored

Bigoa “Biggy” Nyuon’s move into the ruck this season for Richmond’s reserves has caught the eye of rival clubs looking for versatile talls.

Nyuon has largely played as a key defender while on the Tigers’ AFL list, including in his sole senior game last year, but did spend time as a ruckman in his junior days and stands 197 centimetres tall.

The 21-year-old recorded 22 hit-outs in limited game time on Sunday against Gold Coast’s Ned Moyle – the VFL’s best ruckman – in his return from an ankle setback. He also recorded a combined nine intercept marks and had 30 hit-outs in each of the opening two rounds.

Nyuon is out of contract at season’s end.

Can Biggie play forward ?.

[Simonator]

Surely if he was any good he'd be playing at AFL level seeing as how desperate for talent we are

[pmac21]

Play him this week. 

[Broadsword]

Play him this week.

Yeah tbh as a supporter I'm losing interest in seeing the old heroes get battered. They're not dim sims (even if they're playing like it).

I'd be much more interested if we played the kids and had something interesting and promising to watch the games for.

Biggie was injured before returning to the VFL last week.

I would think Bigoas upside would be far greater than Soldo, so why don’t we play him??
Don’t tell me we are back to the Bos club days??

[georgies31]

I think his gone.

NORTH ASSESSES TALLS MARKET

NORTH Melbourne has met with Richmond youngster Bigoa Nyuon as the Kangaroos assess the talls market.

Nyuon, who has played one AFL game when he made his debut in 2022, is out of contract at the Tigers and has spoken to the Roos.

The Kangaroos have been exploring the options available in the talls department, with Nyuon one of the possible versatile talls available.

The 22-year-old was originally a member of St Kilda's Next Generation Academy but was drafted by the Tigers in 2019.

Nyuon, having been previously delisted by the Tigers, could move as an unrestricted free agent.
