It seems to be apparent that Bernie Vince is on the radar for GWS, we must have money in our salary and should look to draft a good midfielder to add to our list.

Crows' fear over Davis speculates the Neil Craig is worried that he could go, but a fresh start in Melbourne for Bernie, could turn our midfield into an elite group.

Is there any other player like him available?

    Neil Craig has openly said that Vince is slow. By body moreso than mind and with the increased pace of the game he is getting caught out. Opposition teams have him figured. No thanks. Keep growing our own until we are well and truly IN the finals before we start trading for needs!

    Apparently he's lazy too.

    2 years ago Bernie Vince was a top line AFL player, but now cannot get a game in a sub ordinary Crows team..is it because he is not up to it, or is it a rift between him and Neil Craig??

    Either way i would be very wary of recruiting him....Only because i think we can do much better than him if we need a midfielder.

    What about Boak? Noticed he was mentioned in another thread - he fits into our target age margin (he's 23 this year, younger than Martin and Dunn), quality (unfortunately copping the best tag in an otherwise-terrible Port midfield) and almost certainly would like to move.

    There was speculation about Boak last year. He signed a two year contract if my memory serves.

    This isn't a Morton thread but that is not how I would describe Cale.

    Clearly Demonlanders haven't watched alot of Bernie Vince....

    Would walk into our midfield.

    He has had injury issues this season and had rumoured disagreement with the way Neil Craig has handled the team.

    Would love Bernie Vince at the dees. Still young!

    Melbourne have invested heavily in running players last 3-4 drafts. what we absolutley need is a couple of bigger bodied key positon types. We can't spend 2012 all year hoping Watts and Jurrah can be our talls all year.

    Then what is he doing playing in the SANFL?....a rumoured disagreement should be put aside in a professional environment.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
