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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
