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!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
