I loved them both but Todd is one of our all time greats.........!!

 

Todd was everything that has been said - a tough, determined leader who made up for his average skills by above average efforts.

Aaron was none of the above. He was just the perfect footballer with poise. vision, class and the ability to lift or swing a game and could, with his twinkle toes and smarts, come close to what only Robbie had done before.

Aaron for me.

Viney had a far more accomplished career, but I liked Davey more. He was a joy to watch, always provided excitement both offensively and defensively. He changed the way the game was played when he burst onto the scene in the mid 2000s.


Again, 2 very different players & voting will come down to more of a preference, however, no comparison when comparing Viney's impact over a sustained period of time, his leadership & as Lord Travis said, accomplishments.

Hard to go past Todd, a legend of the club. 

Flash no slouch himself though! Flash could (and I think should) lay claim to revolutionising the position of small forward where it was previously almost accepted that an off day for a small forward would mean they have no impact at all and that was that. The forward pressure Aaron brought to us was something not seen before and his first 5 steps were the fastest I've ever seen from any Melbourne player. Best part was, other clubs were afraid of what he could do! I just love that moment in his second game where he got the ball, stopped, the tigers players hung off from him because they thought he would be too agile, and he ended up splitting them in two!

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
