Shane Biggs is a Bulldog

[Remi Moses]

He played early in the season I think .
Did a few nice things if I recall.
Someone get on the blower to Dodoro at Essendon, as that's how you conduct trades.
It's not a hostage negotiation

He reminds me of Crossy with his steady hands.

That's not a bad comparison. Gee if he was somewhere near his level it would be a great win

[stefoid]

Has played in more AFL finals than 95% of our list.

No idea about this one, can't see I've ever seen the bloke play before.

Played the last 3 rounds.

In round 22 he played as a tagger on player #16 and kept him very quiet.

I remember thinking he looked ok against us. And recall him getting a fair bit of the footy in the finals last year. He wore number 46 - so stood out a bit.

Might add a bit of run to half back or a wing - which we lack.

Welcome aboard Biggsy.

Check the highlights package on the club website. The first tackle is particularly enjoyable now!

Nice work to get this done, Biggs looked solid this year in his few games.

[F'scary]

This is good because now we have Biggs, Boyd, and big Boyd.

We've got our own Killer Bees!!!

[Ozza]

I know everybody looks good in a highlights package....but he can certainly kick the footy.

[BulldogBelle]

That's a great nil all result for pick purposes, and we get a semi-seasoned player.

Welcome 'Ronnie'!

Love it!

Apart from Billy Stretch, his AFL highlights package was very average. Really puzzled me, that one. His best of, on teh dee's site, is much stronger. #puzzled

I don't think you can get worse the Zaines when the website put it up. Two or three of the kicks went OOBOTFull

Just some of the descriptions of him from Sydney fans blatantly stolen from a certain other forum:

In the reserves he postly played as a half back flanker, the team generated a lot of our rebound through him as you can see in his Rebound 50s stats. I guess you could call him our Malceski of the reserves team. In our seniors this year, he played some tagging roles which was a little surprising, and did well, including a good job on Griffen when we played you guys.

He's supposedly renowned for his kicking skills, although I think this facet of his game has been overrated just a tad. Don't get me wrong he can hit targets but I think it drops significantly if he's under pressure. He's a very outside player, lots of handball receives, won't go diving into to too many packs.

He's a keeper. Really surprised he's going as we're losing Mal. Good kick, gets a lot of it, can shut someone down. PLayed finals last year and was really good. PLayed run with roles at the end of this year and shut down some ball magnets

I am upset to see him go as on the Swans board I was calling for him to play all year in 2014 as I really thought he was going to slot in the side easily when either Shaw or Malceski left. Every game he played in the seniors he looked like he belonged out there and in the 2013 finals series he was actually one of our best players.

[LostDoggy]

Certainly had a very impressive year in the NEAFL.

Obviously it's not as strong as the VFL, but still pretty impressive numbers.

In 17 Games he averaged

- 31 disposals (22 kicks)
- 5 marks
- 6 rebound 50's
- 4 inside 50's

Shows he loves the ball in his hands. We are desperate for a half back flanker who can find the ball atleast 20 times a game and use it well.

Darley has the using it well covered, I'm just not sure he has the confidence to leave his man when required to get more of the ball. Still early days though.
