When Ray Biffo came over from North Launceston to be our deefender - No 29!

He wore #40 in his first season and #19 thereafter.

Biffin by name, Biffin' by occupation as Lou Richards (IIRC) once observed.

    More Ray Biffin fun facts:

    1 - He holds the record for the most games by any player in the #19 at Melbourne.

    2 - One day at Moorabbin when it was blowing a gale to one end, Biff spent the entire game at one end of the ground. He played full back when we were defending against the wind and full forward when we were kicking with it.

    3 - Although best remembered as a defender, he won Melbourne's goalkicking in 1976 with 47 majors.

    4 - He represented Tasmania in first-class cricket.

    Disco by the length of the Flemington

    He can play back whenever. He knows that role by heart.

    Our D is solid with or without him provided T-Mac comes back in. Not sure why he was dropped in the first place. For one match as a managed option i get. But not permanently as Simon has done. Another one of his perplexing decisions that ends up biting us on the arzzz.

    We simply can't / don't kick enough goals given the amount of entries we have.

    While Disco won't be the panacea to our woes, every little bit helps.

    Petty and T-Mac (for Lever) will easily cover off down back. At least for the rest of this season anyways. Alternatively Lever for Petty. Whichever works on the day with match ups between those two (Lever or Petty, not both). T-Mac should be a permanent fixture in this team bar the odd 'managed' game.

    Start blooding Adams or at least seeing what he brings for Petty before year's end.

    No brainer.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
