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.

    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.

    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?

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

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

    I expect good things from Vince.

    Did we actually give him four years?

    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...

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

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

    Now pushed would have been something like this

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
