It is a great coup for the Demons and it is good to see that it is finally WE who are poaching from other clubs.

And re Jack: if the kid is half as tough and honest as his father then we have a great player in the making. Hopefully he kicks better than his old man :blink::)

Let's get one thing straight from the outset. Jack Viney is not half as tough as his father. Based on what I've heard he's tougher.

Well that's it then.

Let's put him on the next flight to Shanghai and put him in the 22 to play Brizvegas in the place of Kyle Cheney.

It is amazing the bond that seems to be with the players that played together through the late 80's and the 90's. They have all come back to the club and seem to be working together to achieve the premiership that we all want.

If i was Cale Morton i would be getting very worried. At the rate that we are getting players from the late 80's back to the club, it wouldn't surprise me to see one Robbie Flower running round the 'G, down the members wing come round 1 next season!!!

YOU BLOODY RIPPER.

That is great news. Always loved Todd and hated to see him at the Hawks and Crows. Will bring huge amounts of knowledge to the club.

This reeks of Stynes and Cam S getting into his ear. Great work whoever was responsible

Looks like I am buying my membership early this year to tell them "well done" on the coup.

And the final bonus we might get some inside word on how to win in SA. Would be bloody nice to win over there next season.

Go YOU BLOODY DEMONS

This is unbelievable!

What an absolute masterstroke, and a magnificent example of terrific management from Jim, Schwabby and the club.

And what a coup to have a Melbourne legend back with the experience he has gained over the past years in such a key role.

We have some brilliant people running this club at the minute.........great work MFC, great work!!!!!!!

Add a Fitz in there and I think that could be a nice little poll to set up, just for the sake of it.

Best hold off until after the draft, could well be a further addition with Jack Darling.

I'm a bit disappointed how the media are portraying Todd's return to the club. I would expect the majority of media to have some sort of understanding as to a past players relationship with his old club.

In Todd's case, he returns to the club & attends numerous funtions, did so while at Hawthorn & Adelaide. Does his passion for his club not have enough to it, to see that his son would want to carry that legacy forward?

Does having him as coach really make the much difference? It could back fire and the kid might not want to go where his dad is!!

Always has to be another angle.

Sensational news! We're getting serious now.

The press angle is being driven by Adelaide whinging. I have some sympathy for them re F-S they were clearly dudded on Bryce Gibbs whose father played something like 250 SANFL games but still didn't qualify on some dubious time-based technicality. Carlton scooped up Gibbs and Marc Murphy. There's evidence at Brisbane, Collingwood and Geelong that F-S can make a big impact on a flag.

Let's not worry too much about the media. We are Melbourne & we know what is going on. Todd has returned home to not only visit, but to seriously help the MFC become the Power club of the AFL. Bring it on.

Forgetting about Jack for a second, i reckon this is a fantastic get for the club. He is one of my favourite all time players, loved the way he went about his football and was a great, albeit short lived captain. Whilst i'm not 100% on his role, it sounds like young player development is one of our major focuses at the club, and understandably so.

Apart from the fact that Jack sounds like a fantastic prospect, bearing in mind he is only 16, it's a real feel good story for the club with the son of such a well respected club great joining us in what we hope will be a successful period for the Dees. I hope he can forge a name for himself in his own right, i'm sure his dad will be giving him a few pointers along the way!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
