WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BERNIE VINCE

Featured Replies

 

Bernie Vince for Col....Bernie won the B & F in 2011...28y/o 3 good years maybe 4 in him

Would be a solid deal imo, regardless of what Denham said this morning.

Its not like for like,. We would be clear winners.

 

Sylvia compo headed Crows' way Melbourne has agreed to trade the compensation pick it received for losing free agent Colin Sylvia to Adelaide in exchange for midfielder Bernie Vince, says The Advertiser. The pick is expected to fall at the start of the second round of the NAB AFL Draft, perhaps immediately after the Demons pick No. 20. If the pick is lower than 25, the Crows will, reportedly, accept the trade.

I believe based on the above the DEAL is done Regardless

Welcome Bernie Vince to the MFC :)

And presumably if greater than pick 25, crows won't be in it.

then they have a problem. Vince presumably doesn't want GWS. And next year he is a free agent, and can walk.

We might yet get him for a 30s pick.


Adelaide list manager (name alludes me) just said on trade radio that its pretty much guaranteed that Vince will be traded, both parties have come to terms with it, said that if not us there is others interested.

Josh Mahoney pretty much confirmed if we get the pick that satisfies Adelaide then we get Vince.

only thing is the word IF. Given last years Net result of zero draft picks for Moloney and Rivers out with Byrnes etc in, Im not confident.

What is its a late second rounder, thrid rounder ?

According to Jon Ralph on twitter we are unlikely to get the pick after our second pick and instead get the pick after our 3rd. Sounds like a rort to me if the saints get a pick after their second for Dal Santo

Round 2!!

According to me Jon Ralph is another goose that gets paid to be constantly wrong.

It's going to be a great weekend at Bernie's! Come on down Mr Vince!

Haha yep. But journo's have been consistently right when it comes to Melbourne getting screwed of late. Time for that to change

Very happy we got something decent (pick 23) to seal the deal with the Crows to get Bernie Vince

Our midfeild is actually starting to look alot more competitive now

Bernie Vince for Col Sylvia, we've definitely come out ahead IMO.

If we manage to land Cross (still on the market?) as well then we will have achieved almost a complete midfield transplant. Very pleased with the trade period.


Hawks CEO Stewart Fox: "We believe it is inequitable that compensation is linked to ladder position". I'm sorry, but what a sickening human being. The Hawks front office has been a disgrace in regards to pushing the disequalisation agenda since becoming good again after a drought of irrelevance from 1992-2006. Yes, they've come out of free agency with the worst compensation scenarios the past two years, but if they can't see the bigger picture of the necessity of compensation being linked to ladder position to help lessen the effect of higher-finishing clubs picking the wings off cellar-dwellers year after year, then they're either dumb or incredibly selfish with scant regard for the future good of the competition. And I doubt they got where they are by being dumb.

Anyway, with that off my chest, it's a good and fair result for the MFC!

While your at it Bernie can you bring Tex Walker with you?

Not too much to ask for mate.

You know what, it's fair... Which surprises everyone just as much.

Walker? I'd rather Dangerfield.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
