I love it how one of his best moments was the bump on Biglands that these days would get him suspended for 6 weeks. AFL has gotten soft, Bryon was a tough nut, I loved watching him play
@Julie Clemens He was definitely expecting it, Biglands lined Pickett up, and Pickett lined Biglands up. They were both going for the bump, Pickett came off better. In the first shot of the bump (1:05) you can see when Biglands changes his mind from going for the ball (his teammate was closer) to shepherding Pickett.
Am i the only one that wants port to go back to their 04 Guernsey? Particularly the 2014 version as it seemed more refined. Bit over the V, too Victorian imo.
is it just me or does the "live" footage of Biglands getting KO'd look like Biglands made the b-line for pickett, not the other way round? he runs for the ball, sees his team mate about to get it, then changes direction and charges straight at him...
thats how footy was played man - if you can't get to the ball you do what you can to assist your team mates and attempt to sheppard. So yep, Biglands went at Pickett but unfortunately for him he became another victim of Pickett's perfect timing.
@@ajwebsdane i know, i love it and wished the game was still like it, but everyone seems to be saying, and still says, Pickett sniped him when he clearly didn't
@@cantworkitout absolutely agree with you Baz. Personally I'm sick to death of the term "sniper" in this context. So many people can't seem to get their heads around that there is no such thing as a "sniper" within 5m of the contest/ball. If its 50m from the ball then that would be a "sniper". the term sniper has nothing to do with if someone can see it coming!
I liked it when peter b. was backing up pickett over biglands farewell game, he cracked overrated n injury ridden goodwin upside of his head. then started shapen up to him. "Ive been told by alot of nungas that the burgoyne brothers r pretty skitz, n dont f around"
Pretty handy at picking off a bloke who has eyes for the footy first and is vulnerable. Not super keen on putting his head over the pill to actually win the ball if has to be vulnerable to the hit.
True he wasn't a fan off putting himself in a vulnerable position... he was intelligent like that. Did you see the free kick he won against Voss? the one where he was going for the ball and Voss got him high. Also watch the Biglands bump again. Biglands saw his teammate was going to get the ball first and went for the shepherd, Pickett saw him coming and they both went the bump. Pickett had better timing. Pickett went hard for the ball, but he didn't dive in headfirst, when doing so would just get him knocked out.
@@fwefwegrgregre3581 Is this seriously still a debate? Biglands was running back straight at Pickett and went for the bump. They both clashed and one came out better than the other. Fair bump.
I played a lot of my junior footy with Bryon and know how much he loved kicking that footy. However, he also liked the drink and visiting the men's sauna which was his downfall. As combining the two didn't work out too well for the little Gromit!
One of greatest power players of all-time !
@Carlin’s ScooterFILMS omg really

@JG-bw6luBut don't they roll around like little bit(hes after getting ankle tapped. And the oscar goes to all the soccer players.
Byron was the reason why the AFL softened the rules on bumping.

I was watching the ball and then all of a sudden a crows player just disappears from view. Rewind, oh wait he just got laid flat and ethered by Bryon

@@perfectlyinsane1376 exactly.. He went for the shepherd and got owned by a guy half his size.. Embarrassing

@Hi Henry I've never watched soccer so I don't know
Still my favourite player of all time.
He’s a dog!!!!

James Pate the V stands for vaginas
James Pate your not the only one I agree with you
@@thecricketgang7213 i honestly hate the the new V top, go back to the classic jersey that won us prems
I think someone needs to address the fact that nobody should ever call their son Rhett. Or their daughter for that matter. I mean, really.
Byron was very special, talented, hard and could change games. One of my favourite players to watch, pure entertainment. Thank you Byron

Was thinking same thing u can see him accelerate towards him...but just got knocked the f out

"Ive been told by alot of nungas that the burgoyne brothers r pretty skitz, n dont f around"
That bump though
Ahhh. Choppy. Back when footy was a contact sport. They essentially changed the rules to eliminate him from the sport.
Champion
Would still be suspended if he was playing today. Gun player
Have a look at Pickett's leg where are those days
Why did Port change their jumper?
Absolute gun.
fix that description, as a serious organisation the least you can do is get the grammar correct.
Biglands wasn’t big enough to survive the bump
Who?

Gun!!
He's good, but he's no Dave Granger
He gave a lot of people TBI. Tried to intentionally hurt people. Grub.
You mean tried to intentionally PROTECT HIS TEAM MATES within the rules of the game at the time
@Julie Clemens lol just like when Biglands INTENTIONALLY lined him up and got flattened with a perfectly executed fair bump. Like that you mean ?
