Byron Pickett roflpwns Rhett Biglands

[@dodgy.socket]

If you don't want to get hit, don't shepherd. If you don't want to get knocked out, don't try to shepherd against Byron Pickett. And I love the way the mini-ambo driver goes belting through the spoon drain as he goes up the ramp.

[@resethd9362]

hands down one of my favourite bumps in AFL and i'm a crow supporter,

[@samuelcox30]

Everything Walls says is wrong in this video haha...."he didn't see him coming"...he clearly did as he went straight for him, just wasn't ready for the pain train that was Pickett!

[@richard0shay718]

Samuel Cox yep he lines pickett up Locks eyes and go's in with a brace for impact....but didnt realise byron seen him comin n baited him till the last second then pivoted in, this is byron special move and has done it numerous times when guys would line him up from the side. If u slow it down, u can see the moment when biglands realises hes fucked when byron see him. He shits himself just before impact. Lmfao great farewell game for biglands, went out with abang. Good o dayz

[@Skindoggiedog]

Pretty much everything Walls has ever said in his life has been wrong. No biggie.

[@AlonsoRules]

Biglands changed direction and got poleaxed

Soccer is the greatest and by far the most important sport on Earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Soccer is the universal language that every nation on this planet loves. Afl is massive in 4 out of 6 Australian states. Still and always will be a minority sport in Qld and NSW. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 and every suburb will love soccer and every suburb will have its own soccer club cdjx

[@trainco1643]

@UCH-FZlNTybgLVPNX7dn8a4w soccer is a little girl’s game played by mummy’s boys that are too scared to play a real man’s sport. A Byron Pickett bump would probably kill a soccer player, or they would be spending the rest of their life eating out of a tube. And go get a life and do something productive with your life instead of spamming every single Aussie rules video with this same comment with your 5 new accounts you loser.

[@scoldedcat]

Picket was just a very tough player.... that's the way it is. He never raised his elbow or took a cheap shot. I loved watching him. He also had those electric skills that are common to the Aboriginal boys. Good stuff, Byron !

[@dragon2712]

No one could lay a bump like Byron. Had to have one of the strongest core bodies in his time.

[@TheARobb21]

Definitely. He got weeks for bumps that were legal, simply because of his reputation. One of the best enforcers in the game, and he was one of the smallest blokes on the field. Saw him at the servo couple of days ago, glad to see the man has slimmed down a lot.

[@The_Bit_Player]

Pickett never complained when he got hit. But when Pickett hits somebody, the entire AFL starts crying. Byron Pickett is easily the hardest man ever to play the game. Respect.

[@TheScooterboy11]

With this hit biglands got hit right in the head

[@damiankolman2004]

Stupidest comment ever... so many more hard players in the afl then him

[@sandonhenderson9044]

Damian kolman I think you should go back to the era that byron pickett played footy in and take a good hard think about what afl player went in harder at the ball then him? He was easily the hardest AFL player of all time. Need people like him to clean up soft cocks in game that act for frees and ruin our sport.

[@leonpowe4916]

Glenn Archer probably tops him just by a nose. But Choppy was definitely a hard nut.

[@torgyanom]

I was watching this game, biglands was the one who ran in for the bump, it was hilarious. Also I go for Adelaide, fair awesome contest.

[@nathrogers7]

I have been waiting for this video for so long this is the biggest hit in any sport anywhere. Show me another video where an 80 kg bloke irons out a 105 kg when they're both going at each either fair and square. Awesome!!!!

[@danvanism]

watching this never gets old

[@my_adventures67]

AFL has been softer since Byron Pickett bumps like this were banned.

[@wvvw4036]

Conor Hodgson And also there's not any players suing the AFL for being complacent with head injuries these days, either.

[@markmezz5448]

in fact if you watch the video properly biglands clearly deviates and tries to clean up choppy...big mistake

[@EeyorePigletBff]

its nice to see a throwback and see the boys with hair again

[@Brownie5262]

This is why I loved Byron, it's funny how 3-4 years later Ziebell copped 4 weeks for something similar.

[@yellowmegavidz]

Biglands even braced himslef at the last second. Byron's just too tough.

[@slimeperview]

Pickett could execute a lethal & fair (at the time) bump to perfection. Hard as nails for smaller bloke & won a Norm Smith & a couple of flags with North & Port. Great Player! However, after this incident the crows went on to win easily, Pickett was hardly sighted & Biglands came back on.

[@arcrides6841]

Hard as nails for any size bloke. More like a block of bricks

[@danielsarn3823]

Biglands put his mouthguard in then immediately took it back out lmfao he had no idea what day of the week it was.

[@darthpunk5455]

also the fact rhett went looking for the bump. hahahahahahahahahaha

[@luvskippy]

Not many in AFL walked away from a bump by Choppy

[@luvskippy]

absolute CHAMPION on baller.

[@peterbartel861]

racist pig

​@@peterbartel861wtf are you on about im Aboriginal and nothing racist was said here wtf😂

[@Rusty_Gold85]

I wouldnt mind any of the power players from that year in my platoon in the trenches.tough as nails.

[@AlonsoRules]

If that happened now it would be 6 minimum

[@johnamarantidis6096]

Yeah, Biglands would have got 6 for knocking himself out

[@chrisserong4966]

@@johnamarantidis6096Exactly. Big lands made a B line for Pickett. Umpires got one right. Play on

[@tommywm24]

It's okay...Byron got hit pretty hard with his drink driving offences.

[@Happy-Harris]

"Knocked the stuffing out of him" Love it.

[@tribey]

Exactly. Just an amazing hit.

[@darthpunk5455]

i've watched this so many times without appreciating the hilarity of the title.

[@porkchop500]

great hit - byron was one of the best at shirtfronts

[@BigSauce7]

at 2:08 you can clearly see biglands lining up the hit, thats a clean bump

[@rxonez1]

If you throw a punch you don't play for 3 weeks per punch. Unlike league, these players have brains, and use them most of the time.

[@radgeboy]

pickett was a master of the bump!

[@midslam]

One of THE GREATEST HITS you will ever see in our game.

[@Ankshus]

biglands was lining up pickett, he saw it comin and reacted, fair bump

[@APH1991]

It's like throwing 2 exercise balls at each other. Wish there was another Byron Pickett.

[@32macca32]

Boom, what a wicked hit, the awsomeness of pickett! Good Footy!

[@SpiroGTS350]

Port fans are proud of Picketts bump Crows fans are proud of the final result Adelaide 18.15 123 to Port 5.10 40 Crows win the only showdown final to date by a record showdown margin

[@Carrots44]

Was this the showdown final?

[@SpiroGTS350]

Yes

[@Mirtazapinator]

shut up. I'm here for Byron. comment on video only.... now go away

[@sausagesandwich9501]

yeah and you went real far that year didn't you....

[@wvvw4036]

Spiro Not the record margin anymore

[@Jimmy911ism]

Exactly. Biglands was laying a shepherd in the form of a bump, which is effective in helping you protect yourself and in stopping the oncoming player, but he didn't get side on quick enough. Pickett should have got not guilty at the tribunal.

[@mmoch]

Love it. Should be more of it.

[@Cam888999]

Please explain to me how Pickett "roflpwned" Biglands? He bumped him fairly and squarely.

[@zooyork384]

cos' Biglands is a ruckman and lost.

[@GEEFLEXZ]

Byron was jumping at Patrick Swayze cos he wanted to do the Dirty Dancing lift.

[@jockmctodger]

Hell yes Choppy! Champion player & hard as nails!

[@scoldedcat]

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Byrons first law of motion......

[@MrBandogs]

Poetry in motion

[@FazGaming]

man he was a brutal sniper

[@dragon2712]

classic hip and shoulder, back when players could do it right.

My favourite moment in AFL.

It's hard to believe but this game actually had three of the most despised umpires in modern history! Wow!

[@chrisfi3d]

Goldspink wasnt there

[@Ankshus]

Biglands tried to line him up, and got what he deserved.

[@holdmyballsforasec]

Good Old Chopy

[@dabooda49]

Wish these were still in footy

[@ripitup32]

big rhetty just bit off more than he could chew there

[@17ricey]

if anyone should be charged, it should be biglands for going for the late sheppard. he tried to take out the hardest man in AFL and came off second best. well done pickett. that's the kind of footy i like to see.

[@piccolol1]

Shit happens when youve got a name like rhett

[@newts8]

he has ran past the ball once or twice to take out an opponent, still loved watching him play all the same

[@aurelianii9001]

Biglands is about 6 foot 8 and a full foot taller than Pickett and still got fkn poleaxed into the 5th dimension.

[@kinga23metro]

agreed, you can see he just starts to drop his shoulder

[@bkozican1]

A fair bump for sure. Biglands knew Pickett was coming, He should of known dont mess with him in that department. The well respected Adelaide players were like "well we gotta stick up for a team mate bout fair bump"

[@footyforlife13]

I find it funny because Rhett Biglands went for the shepherd so he bought the hit on himself

[@FatherJoel]

Apparently Biglands was mouthing off before the game saying he was going to line up Pickett. You can see at 0:05 he tries to do just that. Took his eyes off the ball and came off second best. Didn't realise who he was messing with.

[@whatlez]

And Byron takes out another one haha

[@Bergwick]

Great bump

[@SilverByrne]

come back when you've made a solid AFL career including a premiership.

[@keveydaking]

Best video title ever

[@bones111987]

this kind of stuff is what makes AFL the greatest sport in the world, pickett claims another scalp

[@donherley1811]

Biglands was just trotting along. He really should have had intent with the imminent contact with Byron. Byron Pickett was old school and very talented. I was always a fan.

[@arcrides6841]

He wasn't trotting he was sprinting and bracing himself but looks like he hit a bull 🐂

[@__proteam]

what was biglands thinking trying to put on a front on sheppard?

[@millerface7650]

CHOPPY Game changer

[@chepachii]

Funny thing is when you see Byron in person he doesn't look that big a guy,

[@beng7788]

scott thompsons with hair wtf

[@liddz434]

How can you call that dirty? Biglands put his guard up and came out second best... and by second best I mean AB-SOL-UTELY fuckin cleaned up!

[@WillyWanka]

I'm 6'4 100kg. I played footy with a guy around this time who was 6'5 105kg and he said Rhett Biglands was the biggest unit he'd ever seen in the flesh. Pickett folded him like he was nothing.

[@Digimahn]

He got owned! Perfectly legal. Byron was kool from the pushing and shoving (that's all the players can do) coz they would get fined big time for that (what crap!). No biff too... Loved Byron for thos hits, made AFL interesting to watch. In the NRL, that would have started a punch up!

[@WWERunningWild]

use to support port when i was 7, this is why.

[@bkozican]

Biglands saw him coming but only tracked from 20mtrs away...Whilst Pickett tracked him from the goal square! The AFL could do with someone like Byron right now

[@petetran1096]

as byron pickett claims another victim in afl footy..... this time, you've gotta say very fairly. legal bump, byron's signature.

[@Guled89]

Robert Wells is a clown. Rhett Biglands was well aware of Pickett's presence and he did brace himself for the bump. Pickett was following the ball and in the corner of his eye he saw Biglands coming towards him. Within a few steps, he accelerated and cleaned him out fairly. Best hit I have ever seen.

[@Monfries96]

Back when Pearce was number 41 and decent

[@MadRon101]

Goodnight Princess.

[@lukepittle8961]

It’s crazy to hear how this was a great play by Pickett. These days he’d get 8 weeks

[@THICCTHICCTHICC]

Nah, it was a fair hit near the ball. Probably wouldn't get anything even now

[@sellis3915]

Then you should play a non-contact sport. Football is a lion's den. Enter at your own risk. Not for the faint hearted.

[@lukepittle8961]

@@sellis3915 I agree for the record mate, I’m huge on protecting yourself and biglands didnt. These days everyone leads with their heads and those who opt to even brace get weeks, it’s a disgrace

[@mrbtapir]

Right, you can see it in start of the video when he spies Pickett and changes direction straight for him. His own fault really.

[@StuPV]

It wasnt head height, and if you watch biglands he braces for the bump so it was obviously intentional contact from both parties and byron just hit him harder

[@Aussieboy8]

biglands ran straight past it and trued to annihilate pickett, roflpwns definately describes the vid lol

[@wansbmg]

nice bump

[@gusmif]

Jeez, ya gotta miss ol' Choppy

[@nikcena23]

GO POWER

[@jmanpecka]

gotta bring this back into the game

[@donaldroberts9295]

You can see quite clearly that Biglands deviated to try and stop Byron and he owned by him.

[@arrell]

Gosh, we hardly see big bumps any more.

[@megafide]

Great Video!!!

[@Pawluk44]

There can never be another Pickett. These days he would get 20 games for a hit like that. AFL is soft these days

[@Jachrael]

@pisstakecc Wikipedia - Controversy: In 1999, Pickett crashed into Hawthorn's Brendan Krummel while his head was down to get the ball. In the bump, Pickett broke Krummel's nose, he was concussed and had short-term amnesia. He was doing it long before Port recruited him.

[@yamskee01]

say what ya want but bigglands should have backed down and remind me how tall is rhett to byron

hahaha what was the end score to this game?
