I'd be interested in that, too.  I think with Goodwin, Mahoney and Pert still there, that is a good nucleus to present to players.  They could also put forward that, as a club, 2019 was totally unacceptable and we knew that changes needed to be made.  We need changes both on and off the field, and we are doing that.

Then again, I could be talking out of my back pocket as I have no real idea what goes on behind closed doors.  I know McCartney was offered a deal to stay but wanted to move on to new things, but the others might have been a mutual thing to help refresh the club as a whole.

And Richo has a reputation of getting on with players and being good at player development.

    Mike Sheahan just said on SEN, Todd Viney is leaving Demons

    The interesting part of that will be, if he stays in footy, or has got an opportunity in another field.I am guessing the latter.

    I'm also hopeful that we add Yze to the coaching mix as well.  While we're hoping for a few wins in terms of the players we bring in, I think our biggest change for 2020 may be what happens off the field.

    Funny thing is, Garry seemed very surprised. He said he'd have to call his mate after the show was finished.

    No more nepotism, and possibly junior Viney is being shopped around ??‍♂️

    Season 2019 was simply out of the box.

    Possibly worse than 1997, 2003 and 2007-2013.

     

    Worse than 1997 and 1999, about onpar with 2003, but not anywhere near as bad as 2008, 2009, second half of 2012, 2013 or 2014.

    Thanks for your service Todd. You have been part of taking us from a basket case to a club capable of on-field success

    Loves the club, his house is often littered with young demons looking for a feed

    I agree it is good timing to part

    Respectfully put DD. Well said and I agree.

    So where have you got your hands?

    Is this confirmed yet, or implied?

    You better wait and see Satyr, just like all of us.

    There has been no indication that it ever was a conflict of interest.  You would like to think that Todd is professional enough to not allow that to happen.  I'd wager that, if it did, then Peter Jackson would have stepped in to remove him from the role a long time ago.

    Either way, we will agree to disagree on that point.  One thing we do agree on is that it's a positive move for the club.  Todd has been there long enough.  Time for some fresh faces.

    Even if there wasn't, and there would be few that would know outside the four walls, if it looks and feels like a conflict of interest it might have caused unrest amongst a few troops WB.  Maybe more than a few.

    PJ clearly stated he was there to handle everything non-FD and he was leaving all calls regarding the FD/footy related to Roos.  Either way however, the Viney connection was ticked off well before now.

    Having said that, has anyone that's played for a club/team here ever seen any conflict of interest when a player's dad/mum is involved at an official level?  I certainly haven't!  :pj:

    I would have thought that, had it been a major issue before, it would have been stopped long before now.  Viney was there when Paul Roos was coach and it didn't seem to worry him too much.  I just don't think the conflict of interest was close to being anything more than a minor issue at best.

    I think this is the example which shows there was NO conflict of interest. It is well known that Jack and Ollie were great mates, yet the decision was to recruit Toumpas who was disappointing.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
