Bernie Vince V's Dom Tyson

Tyson's best has been better but Vince has been more consistent. Eh, who cares, we have both of em, enjoy! :)

I reckon this hits the nail on the head. Vince has had a very good season for us and I see him as top 3 in our B&F, and I feel Tyson had a slow start to the year and mid year went quiet. But as Pipefitter said Tyson's best has been A+ grade bordering on star, and every time he produces a performance like the one vs Port I pinch myself that we managed to nab him AND Salem.

    Tyson is so young in terms of games actually played.

    Really, Bernie Vince with his experience and age (peak) should be "the man", and he aint. Gerard Healy was spot on about Vince, where he said Vince was happy just to be a B grader. Healy said Vince should have dominated the endurance stuff over pre-season, and didn't.

    Vince's stats are better than his actual output IMO. He also does the inevitable Brock McLean "smart ass" kick across his body to split a needle short pass that turns the ball over in dangerous positions.

    Both Tyson and Vince have missed some easy kicking targets this year; so maybe I'm a tad unfair to Bernie. Cross has never been a great kick either.

    I'd rate Cross; then Tyson; then Vince. But Tyson is playing brilliant footy beyond his experience.

    If you were going on B+F votes or overall consistency of the year you'd go Vince.

    He's been tagged or done the tagging/defensive job more whilst Tyson has mainly floated around doing his own thing. At times he's drawn the heavy tag away from Jones and Tyson, he's also done the job on Dangerfield and others.

    That said Tyson has been our best in both narrow losses to Port and was great in the second half v Essendon.

    The main thing is we have 3 class midfielders in Tyson, Vince and Jones who complement each other. 2 more above average in Cross and Viney. If we keep getting that number going up especially with some outside mids then we will have a fair team.

    Doms probably has had more stand out games but Vince has been more consistent. They both have been fantastic additions to the side. Dom would be ahead in B & F voting i think just on the fact his had more higher voting games

    Yeah I think during rounds 4,5 and 6 Tyson started getting tagged. By round 6 (Sydney game) he was that out of form he was subbed out of the game.

    Then he turned his form around in the Adelaide win, kicked a great last qtr goal, and then was steller against Dogs, Richmond and Port.

    Tyson for me.

    Vince =more likely to get pinged on the tiles.

    Nah fair comment, I remembered it incorrectly as him starting a bit slow but you're right he was at the very least in our best to start the year.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
