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.

We have to many of those players, apologies for the suggestion. I beleive we need a pacy MIDFIELDER and we could have lots of money to hunt for one!

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.

Are you describing Morton??

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
