    Its his greatest asset in my opinion. He gets to the right spots at the right time and can be really damaging when its forward of centre.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

      Certainly has come a long way since his first game in that stinker against Melbourne last year
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        From memory that was his first AFL game for over 2 years so it's no surprise he was rusty after such a long spell.

          Nah, he played the last 3 rounds of the home and away season for Sydney in 2014 and debuted for us in round 7 2015. It was just his 7th game though.

              Imagine the game where our recruiters thought they could develop him into more than just the bit part player he was at Sydney.

                  The three you are thinking of in 2013 includes a semi final (21 disposals) and Prelim (15).

                    So he was at Sydney in 2014 and didn't play a game?
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        Re: Shane Biggs is a Bulldog

                        Is it possible that he played the last three games in both 2013 and 2014?

                            Has been playing very well this year, but now with Bob's injury his importance to our backline, particularly creatively, has just increased twofold.

                              With Murph's injury he stops going under the radar and becomes a Murphy replacement of sorts. He is likely to get more attention now whereas previously teams have focused on shutting down Murph and JJ which allowed Biggs to slip under their guard.

                              Big test for him.
                              I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                                I've been very impressed with his performances this year after initially thinking he might just be outside of our best 22.

                                Is there any chance we are underrating him? I thought he was great yesterday
