Season in short
Shane Biggs picked up right where he left off last season in 2016, going on to be one of four Bulldogs to play all 26 game this season after playing the final eight in 2015.
Reliable, hardworking backman who according to Champion Data played in defence 94% of the time but picked up almost 70% of his possessions in the middle of the ground as a key member of the Dogs’ rebound machine. Finished second at the Club in metres gained with 9,806.
His smother on the mark in the final quarter of the Grand Final followed by second, third and fourth efforts that led to a Liam Picken goal was a purists highlight.
The stat that mattered
Recorded career highs in average disposals, contested possessions, metres gained, marks and intercept possessions.
What they said
“I try not to set too many goals, just go day by day but to just play consistent and stay in the team was something.
“I finished the second half of the year last year, and I was really looking forward to trying to cement a spot I guess. Just be able to keep up with it fitness wise, and my body held up ok.”
Gram of the year
Good at football. Good at drawing.
