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.

thanks DS ... i think the were at HFC?

 

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


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.

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

Could work the other way too

I hope he is on Top $$

It won’t be easy

He'll be right.

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

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 


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.

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

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
