If he plays good footy nobody will give a rats what he does off field.

That depends on two things; how good his footy is, and what exactly he does off-field...

    If he plays great footy he can have morning coffees with Mick Gatto and arvos with Craig Thompson for all I care.

    Having watched that interview, Vince is now my favourite player.

    Ironically, Sylvia was before he decided to go to the purple Anchorheads.

    My favourite was TJ before that.

    There is a theme here. Clearly I am a loser.

    Not really, you just don't like vanilla.

    Nothing wrong with that image. Good looking bloke, good looking girls. Not a red blooded poster on here who doesnt have a little envy! Importantly, if he plays better than Sylvia has, we will be in front. In the end, that's what we'll judge him by.

    I am worried about the cataracts on Bernie's eyes. I mean how is he going to see the ball? And hat is probably why he is groping around for support.

    He's definitely a lad and a likeable one at that. Makes for a refreshing change.

    It matters most what he does on the field, but you can tell he's determined and raring to go.

    Not sure if it's been posted already and too lazy to check but...

    It's all off-field stuff and fairly trivial but could be somewhat interesting because it's the guy we recruited with the pick we got for Sylvia.

    Is he the blonde or the darker one??

  • Quote

    I like Bernie, always have, but find it amusing that Sylvia goes out and is called unprofessional and a host of other names, while Bernie goes out and is a just a likeable lad.

    Ultimately, like Sylvia, he has failed to live up to his potential. Although I can see he has been a better player than Col and had one stellar year.

    Moon I think this comment explains way you have rejected BBO sister's advances.

    When you finish playing in that closet, BBO would like to have a word or two with you.

    Seriously?? BBO copped 2 weeks for boring everyone with his average jokes. Don't do the same.

    It's because our opinions of him aren't (yet) being slanted by years of frustration about his on-field performance.

    True Nasher

    But I find it very hard to believe he will not be better than the Mids we have used the last two years.

    I have high hopes for him.

    Sylvia was pick 3

    Vince 32

    Perceptions are shaped by this.

    Vince has been more consistent, has better stats and has stood up when it counted in big games. Reputations are shaped by this.

    Spotted by Mrs Robbie in Church Street Brighton the other day so I guess he's moved in to the area.

    Speaking of which, I saw a Brighton Grammar Kid today and he would have to be around 7 foot tall, he was huge, he towered over me and I'm 6'2", wonder if he can play football?

    Watts, Hunt, Salem and Dawes all hailed from BGS as did the No. 2 draft pick in Josh Kelly so I guess Robert Shaw is teaching a few of them something. I am sure that the boys will tell Taylor if there is somebody he should pick up in next year's draft.

    Regarding Vince, I enjoyed watching his interview and I am confident that him and Cross will play a big part in a massively improved midfield for us in 2014.

    It is not the size of the dog in the fight Robbie!

    The boys in year 4 at Brighton have been told to bring their Melbourne Jumpers and Scarves to school next Tuesday and be prepared for a surprise; I guess the boys mentioned might make a visit.

    Moved on with Dawesy and his fiance. Which is a bit of a culture upgrade on living with Tex and his mullet. I presume Dawes who hails from the Hampton area will be living in the area somewhere nearby.

    An interesting question is whether Vince's extracurricular activities impact his footy ability. And my initial response would be not much at all and the positive of them would be that he's mentally fresh wish helps dealing with bad losses. But all that said minimizing them especially if he's settled would be a good idea. In that way living with Dawes and the future Mrs Dawes might be good for him.

    Somehow I think he might be a hit with the ladies, our Bernie.

    • 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?
