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!

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
