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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
