Yes - great call ..... I was only around 5 years old when he retired so my memory is very vague - and the D's were pretty ordinary in his last few seasons 66 to 69....But he barely missed a game through his career, true champion - Biffin was one of my Hero's as a kid thus I put him at full back in my team

I think I would favor N.Daniher ....just ahead of Northey - Also - I think G Lovett maybe lacked a little in pure class BUT his four Qrt fitness was very high class - his pace wasn't the greatest but he seemed to maintain it through the whole match. As most of the others were slowing down he never seemed to drop off......from my observations of that era. P.S. I also rated B.Lovett very highly - he had great vision, and was a very unselfish player

I think Ray Biffin was a very good defender (also played forward at times) - I'd put him ahead of Hughes and S.Smith - extremely competitive ....(possibly a bit beyond the rules at times

B - A.Johnson, R.Biffin, S.Wight H.B - S.Febey, G.Hardeman, M.Whelan C - R.Flower (C) , G.Wells, S.Alves H.F - D.Schwartz, G.Lyon (V.C), A.Yze F - J.Farmer, D.Neitz (D.V.C), A.Jakovich R - J.Stynes, T.Viney, N.Jones Inter. - G.Baker, S.Tingay, Gerald Healy, G. Lovett Emg. - L.Fowler, R.Robertson, B.Lovett, J.McDonald, +++++++ (Near misses) - A.Davey, B.Green, T.Johnstone, A.Obst, A.Ingerson, C.Ditterich, A.Leoncelli , D.Hughes Not sure how this team would gel together as far as personalities and positional aspects go .......by it would be great to find out Sorry, I've cheated by naming so many emergencies. I have watched and supported the D's passionately since very early 70's. My team is somewhat emotion based and I have probably favored the heart over the head with some selections. Left out 3 Brownlow medalists - Moore, Wilson and Woewodin. I really struggled with Alves or Tingay on the wing (maybe Stingers missed games through injuries cost him the spot). Of the current crop only Jones - but I think Oliver and Gawn could maybe find a spot in the future ....and possibly Petracca if he can show continued improvement and consistency AND hopefully some others?? Hogan, J.Viney, N.Jetta.....Leaver?? *Honorable mention for D.Bennett - averaged 2.76 goals per game - and probably the best kick I've seen at the D's
