Any idea how long Todd is contracted to the Dawks? He is one person we definately need back Home.

I am not suprised that Hawthorn have once again become mean & nasty again. It's also the way Todd played.

A true Hard Nut. The MFC needs Viney teaching our midfield

    The sooner he comes back to the club in any capacity the better. You are right WYL the hawks ahve become one of the toughest teams and im sure most of it would be put down to Viney

    I was staggered at the Hawks Toughness last Saturday. That is what we have to aim for. Don't forget Clarkson & Viney played together for two years at the MFC. Both were Tough.

    Priority Jimmy-Get Todd Back Home, Can we use our no. 1 Draft Pick!!!!!

    Heard a comment on Saturday that many of the hard nut Hawk mids were drafted while Brereton was in charge of Football dept - and he insisted on toughness being a criteria.

    They certainly play with mongrel. Will be interesting to see if they control it against the cats. Last year they totally lost it against the kangas in the final they lost; 3? reports.

    Rubbish. They've been building this side of their game ever since the line in the sand game against Essendon a few years ago when Brereton fired them up in the rooms at half time. Vandenberg was a dud but he instilled this ethos as captain. Clarkson is a tough bugger as is Hardwicke. Viney is another part of the puzzle, but you do the others a disservice to give him the bulk of the credit.

    They won't give a stuff about getting reported on Saturday-I am tipping a very Brutal Game. If the Cats win Back to Back they will sure earn it. Luke Hodge set an example last week. Blood will be spilt just like the Classic of '89. (The Greatest game of Pure Aussie Rules i have ever witnessed) I Hope all of the MFC watch it closely.

    not just viney- clarkson and hardwick were both tough nuts in their days

    i wouldve chosen hardwick after bailey as the new melbourne coach

    but agreed- get viney back to the club..his son might be playing there in 7 years or so

    Viney has been with the Hawks since the beginning of (the woeful) 2004 yes?

    No.

    Clarkson was appointed at the end of 2004.

    Me too. Apart from skill and talent (sic), MFC needs steel and hardness.

    No.

    Clarkson was appointed at the end of 2004.

    Funnily enough I wasn't trying to imply 2004 was Viney's fault, but that he has had control over the transition period.

    While over-playing his role has occurred, so has under-playing.

  • Quote

    Hawks are the bench mark now! Hardwick is a coach in waiting. Viney should be acquired by us immediately. Good mates with Clarko and would be sure he would want to go back to back with the Hawks. He will come back, just a matter of when!

    He's still a massive unit, how'd you like to arm wrestle with him?

    Hey Stynesy just get in his ear please "Todd come home soon" like a mantra. Viney is needed as much as our number one draft pick.

    OUT: Williams?

    In: VINEY

    It could see us with momentum and crack the 30,000 barrier for members in 2009.

    OUT: Williams

    That will do for a start. Backs have come on, forwards shown a bit with little opportunity, rucks have come on.

    Mids? Ratsh*t. WILLIAMS OUT. :angry:

    Actually, the more I think about it, the more convinced I am. Crap delivery to forwards. No defensive pressure on opposition mids delivery. Every time our backs get it out, it comes back faster.

    Our midfield is largely non-functional. Williams must go.

  • Quote

    Ahh yes, I remember the days of the bullocking number 12 wrestling the ball from a pack of mere mortals, leaving broken limbs and destruction in his wake.

    Please come back toddy, we need your brutal, barbarianism ways in our wayward centre unit. Maybe you could mould a young brock, jones or moloney into a

    younger version of you and transform our midfield into a much feared, bone crunching, machine much like yourself. Maybe Todd, with the help of stinger, could

    inform our young men on how to aquire some half decent pipes like the ones they used to parade around back in the day.

    Did i miss Clarko forgetting to thank Todd? I'm sure he thank everyone else. Can someone confirm....

    We all want Todd back! Campaign we should!

    Agree. This thread suffers from a bad case of hype.

    Agree. High^5. Fresh coat of paint and a bit of mongrel. I'd like the midfield to return to the vein of form when Ratten was assistant.

    Say what you like RR Todd Viney is needed back at Melbourne-I wanted him back way before the 2008 GF. We are soft.

    When we sack Bailey so probably at the end of 2009.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
