In the 1999 season he was equal 3rd in the Magarey Medal, played for South Australia against Victoria on the MCG and made The Advertiser SANFL team of the Year.
As Biglands dived forward, his teammate Nathan Van Berlo dived heavily into his left leg snapping Biglands' left leg about 30 degrees causing him to clutch the knee and tearing the ACL inside his knee; he limped off and attempted to come back, but was to no avail.
Since 2006 he has been a youth ambassador for "The Conservation Volunteers of Australia" and "Can Do for Kids" which is a charity helping children with visual and hearing impairments.
In 2011, Biglands was named as first Ruck in The Eagles AFL team of two decades alongside the likes of Scott Camporeale and Mathew Pavlich.
In 2015, he worked for Triple M, co-hosting their Sunday Dead Set Legends program with former power Captain Dom Cassisi.
