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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania.
