Does any one knows the truth of the feud between Gary and Todd?

  • Quote

    Long time ago, Garry one of Todd's best mates at the club, Todd decides to up and leave the game to be a tennis coach on the eve of the new season, without a word of warning to Garry (or anyone else at the club).

    Ancient history, time has well and truly healed all of those old wounds.

    What feud?

    And if Glenn Archer and Wayne Carey can get over theirs which was presumably more recent, surely any feud between Lyon and Viney can be overcome. In fact, I'll take a punt that there isn't and never was one.

    Yeah, it was only a nose slightly put out of joint, but they got over it pretty quickly.

    None of the previously posted rubbish that now seems to be deleted.

    Long before Todd briefly left the MFC to coach the 'poo, he was providing tennis tuition to young Demons supporters with stars in their eyes.

    I know this because I was one of them (along with Demonland's Andy)

    Todd advertised his services in what was then the club newspaper, and for a cool $80 an hour IIRC, you could have teenis lessons with the gun Melbourne midfielder.

    It was a small if extravagant price to pay to hang out with Todd..

    I certainly don't remember any of the tennis tips he might have passed on, but I do remember him lecturing us about the dangers of drinking and driving, as it was not long after the death of Darren Millane.

    / end glory story about how I was one of the first people to be coached by Todd Viney / B)

    Good contribution. Did you have a hit against Flip (Philloupoussis ?) at all ? Or is that the 'pooh?'

    IIRC Viney and Flip hooked up for a period of time.

    That's the "poo" HT.

    Fila-POO-sis (phonetically, of course)

    The Poo was such an icon for the kiddies wasn't he...

    Where does this rubbish come from? Do people have nothing better to do than make up stuff?

    Try reading the thread. Everything in it seems pretty accurate to me. Is it really a surprise that if Viney walked out Lyon would be [censored] off. Can you imagine Green would be happy if Moloney went and coached Bernard Tomic?

    You missed a couple of bullsiht posts that got deleted, saying there's a feud between them now.

    Which is unsubstantiated. Funnily enough the Op'er hasn't really expanded....

    What's the Poo up to these days?

    Makes guest appearances on South Park under the psuedonym "Mr Hanky"

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
