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.

Walker? I'd rather Dangerfield.

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

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    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?
