    That's an old photo, he has much more art work on the the left arm.

    While you can't see them, he hasn't missed his legs either, plenty of ink on both.

    One things for sure he's a decent replacement for that non trying Sylvia.

    He's tiny! That yellow line actually marks the outer perimeter of a bicycle lane.

    The advent of Bernie Vince and some of other "buys" from the off season have been a revelation. There was always going to be a comparison between he and Colin Sylvia because they were virtual swaps but they are different players but I think what struck me was that Bernie was going 100% even though it was a practice game. Colin was always hot and cold and would go in and out of the game in an instant.

    The input of the off-season midfield recruits such as Vince, Mitchie, Cross and Tyson on Friday was very very impressive and it will define our season. Already I think many Demonlanders are re-thinking their predictions for the Win-Loss ration over the first five games of the season (and hopefully many will be leaning towards my heroic prediction of winning 4/5). When one consider what these guys will add to the midfield, the realisation that we have acquired a sturdy midfiled back-up in Georgiou, an exciting forward pocket in JKH and we still have to debut our trio of power forwards, I suspect that 2014 is going to be an exciting year for Demon supporters.

    Welcome to the MFC Bernie Vince!

    He was just excellent. Great size for a bloke who plays more outside than in.

    Work rate was A+.

    I see Bernie almost didn't make it to game had to park then run 2 km to the ground because of traffic then racked up 31 disposals great effort

    Contested game was good also, which I didn't really expect to be honest.

    Had to laugh at that little story about his trip to the ground. He left Dawesy with his Ute, which is a manual. He said Dawesy can't drive manuals, so he was a little concerned about what had become of his prized vehicle! Also reckoned he was kinda stuffed by the time he finally got to the ground around 40 minutes late.

    Very impressed with our Bernie. Seems like a really likeable kid. And, he certainly performed on the centre stage in his first hit-out for the Club. A great get!

    I thought he was our best player, he covered a lot of ground and was involved at the stoppages. He looked fit like he could run all day, great to see him enjoying his footy, I thought he worked well with Cross, Michie and Crossy. Without Vince I think we would of lacked run. His experience really showed, his disposal was good. I don't remember seeing him play like that for a long time. Great start to the year.

    I love Vince.

    We absolutely nailed this draft period.

    After so many years of trying, I cannot believe we seem to have built a credible midfield in a one month period at the end of last year.

    Thank you Adelaide. And GWS. And the Bulldogs. And Jason Taylor/Todd Viney.

    Finally we addressed our most glaring weakness. Still waiting to see how this midfield group stand up in the real stuff but I am far more confident than previous years. Lack of injuries in this area helps also, Viney is the only one I can think of to come in from Friday night.

    Really liked his running and love his ability to hit targets. Very happy with the acquisition.

    But I have to ask..... who is going to be the one to start the Vince vs Crouch argument?

    Love young Crouch as a clearance mid who just kills for the ball but I think with us already having one in Viney and the need for a bit of experience then Vince was the right man for us. He is a big step up from Silvia, cool under pressure, a good decision maker, sees all the options and uses the ball well.

    That may come down the line, but I would like to remind 'future rpfc' how dire our current senior midfielder stocks were and how much we needed another strong body in amongst the kids.

    • 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.

      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.
