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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.
