Mike Sheahan slips in a one-two jab combination:

Viney, 45, has been an assistant coach at Hawthorn, including the premiership year of 2008, and Adelaide since coaching Moama in the Murray Football League for two years.

Lyon - his former teammate, captain and great friend - is his new boss. While the relationship soured some time ago, Viney said there were no lingering issues. "It's just like it was when we see each other now."

Anyone know what Iron Mike is alluding to?

    Who knows. Not a bad article other than that last jab. Unnecessary and unfortunate finish IMO.

    Highlights much of what's been lacking in the last 15 years or so, with a few exceptions like Neitz, at this club.

    Pitty Todd doesn't want to continue on. I think he under sells himself here. With the right support staff and a senior quality mentor over his shoulder, i think Todd would make a good fit for us and turn us into a toughened/hardened professional outfit.

    Was Mike referring to when Viney left the club to do tennis coaching? I don't know.

    A polite Mike would have elaborated.

    Nice article. I know Mike means hardness etc when he refers to Viney being blue collar, but it does read strangely about a guy who went to one of adelaide's best private schools!

    Oh and should say all the best today Todd. I'd love to see you do really well in these next few games even if you have no intention of becoming a senior coach. Good luck!

    I've just watched Todd's press conference from tuesday, and based on that, and if the team shows some better than good signs over the next 5 weeks, I would bet my cat's eyes he'll be our coach next year. His comments about not continuing beyond his 'tenure' for the rest of the season were completely unconvincing. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but it could be imagined they brought him to the club this year as a little intro to the players and the environment should things go pear shaped. He has had excellent coaching development as an assistant, he played with precisely the mentality we all feel is lacking at the club, and now is one step closer to what I think is his ultimate post playing goal.......watch this space, but I for one am very hopeful for Todd's coaching prospects.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
