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!

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
