Bona fide legend. Undeniably great. And this is from a Claremont supporter who watched his team get beaten in Grand Finals by Todd coached sides three times. Genuinely saddened to hear of his passing. Vale.

The game will always be there, whether you're dead or not. Todd knew that but he made the most of it. Only people can dream of his career. Vale and respect
