A little bit disappointed to hear..but anyhow moving on

I don't think it is news that he was moved on, rather than the other way around.

It's tough to disengage yourself if you have been there long enough.

I don't see him in a different light because of a 'slip' like that.

I love him for sticking up for Jack by the way...

I think he said it that way as tippets first time playing against the crows he (vince) was still a crows player

Pretty normal to be honest if you have been at a club a long time. Actually any place such as school, work etc you and take ownership of what happened there. Given his efforts for us this year I'm very happy to have him.

I agree. Its just like when you change jobs. When telling a story or a recall to your new workmates you might accidentally refer to your old place of employment as we or us. As time passes he will lose the habit, and melbourne will be his club entirely.

Love Bernie. We would be worse without him, easily.

I agree. Don't care if he still loves Adelaide either, if he does, so long as he busts a gut when wearing a Melbourne jumper, and he does. I'd be staggered if blokes like he and Cross didn't still have their hearts at their old clubs to some degree.

Nice to have fresh faced Bernie and his pinpoint kicks in our team.

He is a breath of fresh air .

It's natural for him to love the club and the guys he played with for 9 years and I'd expect Cross to be in the same boat.

As long as they give their all while they're in the red and blue, it's forgiven.

Absolutely, and they both certainly have been giving all, as they are 2 blokes of great integrity. Our blokes are hopefully learning a heap from them.

Let's remember this when we criticise guys like Cameron Bruce and Jeff Farmer. You never forget where you came from...unless you're Tom Scully of course, in which case you can pay people to remember for you.

I do this from time to time with my wife, calling her the ex's name... She still loves me, I think.

The OP wants to know if you love your current wife, though. I think.

Vince played most his career at Adelaide.

No doubt Vince wanted to stay there, but smart trading by the Crows.

If I was a Crows supporter, I'd be happy the club moved on Vince and got a 15 year player in Crouch.

Moving right on....

Demonland is like a melbourne game, I end up looking forward to it but always disappointing.

love the user name!

You play 100% for the club you are now doesn't mean you have to give up your past...

Cross will remember himself as a bulldog and Vince may (due to age) remember himself as a crow or dee but rivers will always be a dee so will Bruce and McDonald... No one remembers Brenton's as a swan or pie only a hawk...

The only disappointment about Bernie is we gave up a pick which is the same issue with Dawes!!!

We have players taken off us for nothing but have to give up picks to get players... In the end Colin for Bernie is great value but one club gave up nothing the other gave up a comp pick!!!

Se thing shat me with Dawes he gets paid 250k a year at collingwood and we have to offer 550k to get him but then give a pick in the 20s... Grrrr to free agency

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
