Kieren Briggs is not in the A tier of AFL ruckman, even though he is capable of big numbers on his day. GWS is a side not predicated on stoppage scores, with their fame based on the tsunami plays rebounding from half back. Briggs would not be on big coin, and you need those sort of players in your best 23 to leave cap room for the stars. His role is to not get beaten too badly, especially around the ground. His opponent today in Marc Pittonet is a better tap ruckman than him, and he will earn his pay packet if he can prevent a big run on of Blue goals from the centre.
