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.

[beelzebub 23,384]

Not a replacement. ..an upgrade

Didn't realise he was so short!!

Didn't realise he was so short!!

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+.

[wattsup 470]

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

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.
