Who is Craig Biddiscombe?

Craig Biddiscombe is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong and Richmond in the Australian Football League.

Biddiscombe came to Geelong from Traralgon and was drafted from the Gippsland Power. He went at pick 59 in the 1993 National Draft and would be used by Geelong as a midfielder.

In 1995, his debut season, Biddiscombe made two appearances, in rounds 20 and 21, but he didn't take part in Geelong's finals campaign. The following year he earned a Rising Star nomination for his performance against Fitzroy at Western Oval, in what was his seventh league game. He was never able to cement his spot in the Geelong side and after the 1998 AFL season was traded to Richmond. In order to secure his services, Richmond gave Geelong pick eight in the 1998 National Draft, which was on-traded to the Sydney Swans, who used it to select Jude Bolton.

His first season at Richmond was ruined by hamstring injuries and he managed just four senior appearances. In 2000 however he played 19 of a possible 22 games, as a half-back, and won Richmond's "Best Clubman" award. He appeared in the first 10 rounds of the 2001 season but then injured his knee and didn't feature again for the rest of the year. The rest of his time with Richmond was spent mostly in the reserves and he was delisted at the end of 2003.
