Viney is named in Melbourne’s Team of the Century, and is a member of the Club’s Hall of Fame.

After Dean Bailey was sacked, the Melbourne Football Club announced that Viney would be caretaker coach for the remainder of 2011. Viney was not retained as senior coach for the 2012 season, due to the appointment of Mark Neeld as Melbourne coach, however he remained with the club as the General Manager of Player Personnel.

Former teammate Alastair Clarkson recruited Viney as an assistant coach at Hawthorn from 2005 to the end of 2008, including their 2008 premiership season. He then moved to the Adelaide Crows from 2009 to 2010. Viney resigned from his role at the conclusion of the 2010 season, and signed with Melbourne to be in charge of Melbourne's player development program. With Viney's move back to the Demons, Adelaide conceded Viney's talented son, Jack, to the Demons, under the father-son rule.

In 2000, he joined the Melbourne coaching panel as a midfield coach. Viney then moved to Echuca coaching country club Moama.

He finished equal fifth in the 1998 Brownlow Medal and twice won Melbourne's Best and fairest. Viney captained the Demons in 1998 and 1999 and earned All Australian selection that year. He announced his retirement before the end of the 1999 season due to nerve and hamstring related injuries. His brother Jay also played with Melbourne.

After 9 seasons with the Demons, he decided to retire from football in order to become the fitness coach and hitting partner of the young tennis star Mark Philippoussis. However, Todd's standing with Mark's father/manager/coach Nick Philippoussis was very strained (as many people had warned him), and he soon resumed his football career with the Demons, midway through the 1996 season.

As a youngster, Viney was a talented tennis player and held an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder from 1983 to 1984. But at 18 decided to switch and pursue a footballing career.
