Todd Viney Appointed at North Melbourne

[Demonstone 22,481]

Todd Viney has been appointed to the position of Football Manager at North Melbourne Football Club.

I presume this is very much at Clarkson's behest.

How's the sub-editor in you going AS?

[Chook 15,012]

Clarko gets his man. Boy the Roos are going to be set off field in the coaching department.

[rpfc 28,383]

He replaced Daniel McPherson who they poached from us less than a year ago…

I hope Todd knows this is a 5+ year job he has signed himself up for.

[Sir Why You Little 37,030]

I hope he is on Top $$

It won’t be easy

[layzie 33,793]

I'd say he needed some convincing. Highly doubtful he'd give up the farm life for anything other than Clarko and a decent offer. All the best to them. Massive job ahead.

Was a great pick up by us to poach him from them! All the best Todd!

IF any of their better players do decide to leave he will put in a good word for us

He'll be right.

He's done it all before with a team that was in similar position to a recent premiership team.

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

They played two seasons together with us including the 1997 wooden spoon season and 1996. We were quite ordinary then. They go back a long way including some rough times before success.

I'd rather see him at nth than Essendon.

Clarkson obviously views Viney very highly but I wonder how he'll go doing an office job & being away from the farm.

Will be interesting to see what happens 

[DubDee 25,830]

T Viney. Probably an underrated part of our success. Good on him. No greater compliment than Clarko going hard to get you. 

thanks for everything Todd. Babysitting half the squad over the journey

Didn’t he lure Bernie Vince to us? Which kick started the whole thing?

Have a soft spot for Bernie Vince. Our first proper trade in yonks and won a B&F.

look QBD - as you know, Murdoch has sacked all the sub-editor so as he can record another billion-dollar profit.

so I missed a letter in "they"!

you give me goals off the boat (get it - I know it's meant to be boot) of Max and I will shut up!

I loved Brasso so much. Set us up for a tilt in 1987/88. Loved Swooper as well.

well QBD buy a copy of Ian Munro's MFC book: and send Swooper a copy - Swoop runs a pub down Geelong way?
