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.

Not a replacement. ..an upgrade

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.

if there was a market for the Bluey Id put some money on him

Should be some competition for the award this season, finally


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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

    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?
