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"

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
