Stats
Bio
Recruited from Cheltenham, Francis Biehl arrived at South Melbourne during a period of significant strength for the club. Born in Clifton Hill, the 20-year-old earned his opportunity midway through the 1910 season, breaking into a formidable lineup that would eventually go on to contest that year's Grand Final. Biehl held his spot for three consecutive matches in June and managed to hit the scoreboard with a goal, but he found it difficult to secure a permanent residency in a squad stacked with premiership-calibre talent. While his senior VFL career was limited to a brief mid-season cameo, his tenure at the Lake Oval allowed him to represent the famous red and white during one of their most competitive eras.
