Vince is a done deal, afl.com

    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

    Only one we might regret is overlooking Wines. Love the Toump and reckon he's all class but Wines was incredible this season.

    The rest is spot on!

    Toumpass will be fine and a better footballer than Wines. We now have some genuine inside midfielders to compliment him and he will have a full pre season. His hips should be fine too. Wines had a very good midfield backing him. dimitri didn't

    Our midfield is now starting to look much more talent laden and a lot less raw:

    Jones, Cross, Vince, Viney, Toumpas, Tyson, Trengove, Pick 9 etc...

    That is a hell of a lot better than this year.

    Won't regret it as we are clearly now decked out with talented inside mids.

    Toumpas is a key ingredient in this midfield going forward.

    Where did you pull Cross from? Far from signed, sealed and delivered to the club.

    Agree with your sentiments though.

    That's starting go look pretty damn good.

    There must be a few starting to quiver in their boots.

    Blease, Watts, McKenzie, Matt Jones, Evans, Barry, Nicholson, Tapsott, Bail

    OMG - I though we may be able to get through one thread without the Wines (one of many mids in a more mature successful team) vs Toumpass (opposite of all those club traits) debate - but, oh no, we couldn't.

    Still pretty raw.

    (Agree on the talent.)

    Or getting through it without someone spelling his name incorrectly. Toumpas. Is it so hard?

    Pedantic at its worst. How can a poster be upset today after some good progress from the club. What's the saying? Small things, and small minds!

    I'm as pumped as anyone about today. Small minds are those that can't spell the names of their own players correctly. It isn't hard but this isn't the time or the thread for it, so because you seem upset, I'll move on.

    Vince for Sylvia is good.

    you betcha. Vince actually won a b&f in a better team than sylvia's 5th place in a poor team

    Opps - I am a pedant but that slipped through

    I don't think Vince has the explosive power of Sylvia - Unfortunately Col only produced this about twice a season. Further, I suspect Vince has more brainpower.

    All up. Not a bad swap.

    Wow. Nothing was reported on the news and it wasnt until I checked twitter I saw it. Sorry Colin who? Bernie is a great replacement for him and I reckon he will give us more in in his first season with us than Col ever did.

    And Mark Robinson has the hide to write an article in todays sun saying we have lost momentum since we got roos. Well getting dom tyson and berie vince is a pretty good day. Good work Todd and co

    So what picks do the MFC now hold given Vic, Bernie and Tyson are recruited?

    9, 40, 56 ish.

    Potentially we will look to do deals in this last week moving those later 2 picks forward or getting another one in the top 50ish by trading out players who haven't been getting a kick but might hold a little interest from other clubs (ie, Blease, Strauss, Tapscott).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
