WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BERNIE VINCE

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Yeah I was amazed when I heard that on the radio grab yesterday.

[DemonOX 8,578]

Let's hope he uses this to prove to the crows that they shouldn't have got rid of him.

On a side note I hate the crows

i just listened to the full interview.

I think we have picked a good one here.

Has known Roos since before being drafted. Can't wait for training to start.

Family friends with the Trengoves.

Wants to be a leader over the four years.

Great swap for Col.

[ThreeOneSix 953]

Sando has came out of this looking not to flash.

The played responded in his first year and didn't look to respond in his second year.

Perhaps it was the change the players needed... It's good to get players to play for their coach, but the aim is to get them to do it consistently, year in - year out.

Sando has a big challenge ahead of him in 2014.

[Demoneyes 562]

Will be a fantastic pick up for us! Will want to show the Crows that they erred in letting him go! Can't wait for 2014, how many days to go?

bout 100

[Demoneyes 562]

bout 100

Don't get my hopes up there! Lets see, 4 months plus a couple of weeks, probably more likely (without my abacus) about 140

[Lordweaver 235]

4 year contract at 28, should be happy

[Little Richard 5,943]

4 year contract at 28, should be happy

Did we actually give him four years?

[Jaded No More 60,218]

Wanting to prove somebody wrong is a very very powerful motivator.

I expect good things from Vince.

[rpfc 27,693]

3 years with a trigger that he thinks he will easily hit; he refers to it as a four year contract.

I guess if he does easily hit that trigger then everyone is happy he is a Demon at 32...

Thanks rpfc, was pretty sure 3 to 4, read it somewhere

[DemonFrog 1,347]

Sometimes its not worth staying when they really want you gone!

[Glenn Molloy 494]

Hates a chat does Bernie. Could talk the legs off a chair!

[Bang Bang Bang 5,608]

By my count, 2017 will be his last season if he triggers the 4th year and he'll play all that season as a 31 year old. Some risk there, definitely, but he's not exactly Grandpa and I think supporters and sometimes even coaches are too quick to dismiss players once they hit 30.

Will be good for future debt demolitions etc. Seems like a great bloke to have a beer or many with

As someone commented he looks about 20 which means we may get 15 years out of him.

[PJ_12345 1,098]

Meh, their loss... Our gain

[Mono 454]

Seems to me that most years Vince has been floated as a possible trade, even in his better years - in the press at least.

Don't know what that's all about.

[alias275 259]

Well judging from the interview he still seems very cut and not even 100% on where he is at.

Big Dawes and Clarky should be able to help change all that.

I would say he is more 'cut' at the perception that Adelaide put forward that he left, rather than being pushed.

He seemed pretty happy to be a Demon, and probably more importantly, that he is wanted and his presence required.

[beelzebub 22,762]

[DemonFrog 1,347]

BB surely that would mean he was pulled our of the Crows?

Now pushed would have been something like this

[beelzebub 22,762]

TBF...did you listen to the radio interview ??

[DemonFrog 1,347]

TBF...did you listen to the radio interview ??

Well, No!

I guess I will have to now LOL
