WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BERNIE VINCE

Done

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Good and fair trade IMO. Vince fills a need and it's a fair price to pay for that as well. Vince, Tyson, Michie and still Pick 9 to come as well. Has been a very good off season so far!

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Very happy to get Vince, an experienced mid to help take the load off Chunky

[jabberwocky 2,301]

FA has worked in our favour....this time.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,391]

Puff puff, just got to gym. Weights are going to get smashed. Very happy member right now.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

Excellent. This trade actually excites me more than the Tyson one because we have guarenteed improvement and support in the midfield from Round 1 next year.

Well done to the brains trust.

[What 18,810]

this is awesome

Vince is better than Sylvia

Absolutely stoked. I thought all the action happened on the final day of trade period? lol

So it's not the end of the world?

Maybe it's lying in wait...

[Forest Demon 4,681]

A genuine mid to help in the middle. As disappointed as I was to lose Col, I have to admit this has worked out pretty bloody well.

[What 18,810]

Turned 28 just 16 days ago, the boy has plenty of good footy left

Coming of a season where he averaged 20.6 disposals, and kicked 13 goals 11 behinds in 21 games

"6:15pm: Senior journalist Peter Ryan has broken some trade news with Adelaide trading Bernie Vince to Melbourne for their compensation pick which is pick no. 23.

peter ryan @AFL_petryan

Bernie Vince officially a Demon. compensation pick to Adelaide. @afl #latetrade"

Excellent news, but could be some disappointment in the Jones household. We won't be getting Zac Jones now. Well, unless he slips to pick 40 ...

And it's official...

Unless we trade a player for a pick in the 20s. I found myself forgetting that there's a whole entire week still to go! Plenty could still happen.

its been a bloody exciting day and i dont think the MFC are done just yet as we head in to the final week

Still some surprises to come

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,391]

All this good news and no priority pick. Who'd of thought.

Isn't there a week to go for the trade period? We could yet do a trade to get a pick in the early 20s.

[Late Draft Pick 48]

Just so happy to be getting Vince. But just so disgusted about the Hawks CEO's statement about it all not being fair. As Pantaloons says, just picking up players

from cellar dweller teams or teams that just can't quite get there - look at North and Port and Crows recently - as though they were entitled to them and no one else was. Narcissism.

If we get a 21-25 pick for Sylvia....the AFL is Santa Claus and Christmas will come early this year for the Dees.

Looks Like Santa Claus has delivered once again and I am so looking forward to Christmas

[Demonsterative 3,020]

Two years of very good trading, hiring and drafting

Viney at pick 26 (steal)

Toumpass (went one place later than expected)

Hogan (mini draft)

Dawes (solid player)

M Jones (impressive first season)

Terlich(impressive first season)

Tyson (a good get whilst keeping a first round pick)

Minchie (highly rated by many clubs)

Vince (better than Sylvia)

Pick 9 (assurance for the future)

Peter Jackson (thank you AFL)

Paul Roos (thank you PJ)

Stone (credentialed and proven assistant Improving most of the above)

That's a turn around on 10 players in the right hands

[Robbie57 2,020]

Weekend for bernie...at the dees

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

I'd imagine Todd Viney would have garnered some good Intel on Vince from his time as an assistant coach with the Crows.

Well done Dees - Welcome Bernie

First Facebook status on Demonland.

Yeah I'm on Facebook but I normally just put photos of my daughter up as opposed to mundane crap in my life. All good, I got it.....and laughed.
