[Crimson Azure]

Mfc.

 

[d33my]

do you have a source?

 

[bighughie]

It's nothing as far as I can tell. No news items or even tweets.

 

[Crusty Demon]

If true, would be a massive get! Not only do we get Todd as an assistant coach(who by all reports is a wonderful coach), we pretty much will lock down his son Jack as a father/son. Huge news for the MFC if true....

Allow me to play:

Or was it because Jack wants to go to Adelaide but does not want to play under his father?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Or Adelaide has told Todd he will not be our next senior coach and he's walked?

Look, I'm all for kids making their own decisions, but if Jack wants to play AFL football, he should do it at Melbourne.

I agree 100% & I can say this without any bias at all.

Todd Viney said, “I’m really ecstatic to be returning to the Club at such an exciting time. Jim, the board, and everybody at the Club have done an amazing job in revitalising it over the last couple of years. I look forward to assisting the Club to move forward in its quest to deliver the Melbourne members, supporters and past players a thirteenth premiership, and to consistently challenge for AFL premierships over a sustained period of time”.

**** YES! Welcome home Todd!

This is exactly what people were talking about a month or two ago when the Crows were looking to use a loop hole in the draft to get him.

He is 16 now so he should be moving with his family & will complete his schooling in Melbourne which will give Jack time to adjust to life in Melbourne before he is of draft age.

 

[d33my]

Which club do you think Jack will play for over here? I presume the whole family is moving...

**** me this is freaking awesome news!!! Welcome back Todd
