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...

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
