Todd Viney video interview - draft combine

Todd Viney is a survivor, if anything, not sure why, last old boy standing.

If I recall he has been a player, Development coach, Assistant coach, Senior coach, Recruiting Manager.

I will leave it at that.

    I love the Viney - no BS approach.

    Seems pretty confident we will be holding on to Sylvia's compensation pick (by not picking anyone up in Free agency)

    Would quite like to have a pick in the 20's either for trade or drafting a good mid.

    If you knew who was actually in the Old Boys Club you would not be so smug.

    Viney fell out with the oh-so-evil Lyon-Stynes-CC-Schwab Nexus and left the club for Hawthorn as a heralded Assistant Coach (if there can be such a thing), and then poached back to Adelaide before we got him back to run the Development and Player Strategy a couple years back.

    At some point we are going to have to stop culling and start building and while there may be a hatred of everything related to the MFC at this club it doesn't mean you get to just lump Viney in there without more evidence than vague illusions of his various roles.

    Didn't he also coach Leyton Hewitt at one time?

    Not sure he fell out with the Lyon Stynes CC Schwab nexus? His profile says he left MFC in 2000 to coach Moama, then the Hawks etc. I don't think the CC, CS conspiracy was around in 2000.I am all for looking for culprits and conspiracies but Todd is not in the firing line. I don't see him or Greg Healy as part of the old firm problem that has all but destroyed this club.

    Viney was the smart one because he distant himself from the boys club and acted in a professional manner in which is the reason why he is still at the club.

    I was being facetious about the Evil Nexus...

    My point is that just because someone has ties to the club, does not mean that they are not capable and/or not desired at the club.

    It doesn't exist..?

    I'm still having images of Schwab wearing an eyepatch and stroking a cat...

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
