Last played for Oregon Tech in 03/04 it seems. 9.9 PPG and 6.0 APG, plus 3.3 SPG in 27 MPG.

Damn, he's a hard guy to find a photo of. Here he is after Oregon Tech won the 2004 NAIA Division II National Title (on the left):

I remember him, bloody quick, quite muscular but short. Can leap like anything too. Player for Sturt as junior? Norwood too?

Good to see Todd back. Super player with a huge heart.

One hand on the trophy now!!

Yea nah hutch is a huge pickup for the flames. The only person or thing I ever saw beat him was actually a personless white shirt. To this day I am sure that shirt still haunts him.

can any real Norwood people out there (Lommax???) confirm he is playing this Sat night

Not sure. He has been living in Melbourne but rumour has it he was trying to come back and play for Norwood. Hopefully it is true the team has been hanging out for a decent point guard since mellow retired.

It wasnt my intention to have a go directly at Webber. I just think Todd will add alot to that team and the point guard is probably the most important position on the court in my opinion.

Is this guy a potential Sixers player if he is as good as everyone is saying?

Probably a bit harsh but that is basketball. Webber is only young and will probably learn alot from Todd.

you guys ever heard of Christian Bell? IMO he is one of the best PG's going around today, sounds like they're sleeping on him at norwood.

IMO opinion Belly is more of a SG than a PG. He can shoot well and create for his team mates with penetration.

Bell couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag. Can anyone out there believe this guy actually hit the court in NBL!? Seems a long way off for someone playing less then half a game in ABL only a couple of seasons later...

As for the subject at hand, great news for the Flames to have Todd back. He should prove a great pick up and strengthen the side whether it be in addition to or ahead of Webber.

Webber has shown his versatility this year and is averaging almost 10 boards a game and something like 7 assists. That would be double what norwoods slow forward averaged last year. Webber will share minutes at 1/2/3 spot and the flames will win the title. The new breed of flame is here and I like it!

Give it a rest boys. Todd is a good addition to the team, and will bring them leadership that they haven't had in the past or otherwise they would have been more successful. Webber and Bell are not good leaders. It's proven.

so when is Matthews playing

forget webber ,forget bell, the hutch man blows them out of the water.watch and learn boys.

lommax have u forgotten paul whitford?

Paul Whitford = class act, on and off the court.

Havent forgotten Paul Whitford. He was a SG too and Moses has summed him up to a Tee.

I got confirmation that Todd will be in town for this weekends game.

I have been told that the flames are looking at flying him in from Melbourne each week?

webber must of improved since i last saw him at training, maybe he'll be put into his rightful place, the bench, bell runs rings around him, todd will kill this season

So how did Matthews play on the weekend?

Statistically very similar to Andrew Webber funnily enough!

Matthews: 13, 4 and 8 for 33.5 HSA.
Webber: 11, 3 and 8 for 32.5 HSA.

let me assure you that Todd Matthew has lost very little if any of his speed, and skill, he was simply outstanding on saturday night, and looked like a threat at all times, penetrating at will, and shooting very well for someone who has not played for a while.
the flames really are a threat when him and cooper are both playing.

who said Christian Bell. he can't even do a left hand layup and would struggle in a year 3 spelling bee let alone run a team of adults.

Mr Matthews is teaching me at the moment. He is an absolute gun and played B-Ball with us and destroyed us

I love u todd !!!!!!

Sadly Mr Mathews seems to have forgotten to inform his students of the rules regarding the use of the possessive apostrophe. Good to know his basketball skills are up to scratch though.

Hey anon,
Sorry to burst your bubble but I could bet the world that my English would destroy yours. I've been attending St. Peter's College since I was a juniour and have won the English prize at Saints and internationally where I traveled to England for the World English Title and was ranked in the top 20% of the world. Now let me tell you something, If you are trying to bring down a Year 10 for some crappy grammatical errors where he is at school and just chilling and I'm showing no interest about my spelling on the web then you are just an absolute troll.

Now back to Mr. Matthews, he was versing the school first team in a student vs staff game and he scored the majority of the goals, many steals and just generally dominated the whole team on his own with no support from the other teachers.

And just to set the record straight he can jump, in the tap he was up against a first 18 footballer who is over 6ft and he won it....
Matthews is considering retirement but that's not a wise move on his behalf... someone talk some sense into him !
