Vince v Dangerfield

Featured Replies

I think Danger can expect more of the same. Once the other clubs know you can be physically intimidated they will bring it on.

Danger is now a target all year,. Brilliant!

 

Viney and Garland job on Ablett was a highlight of round 1

Vince's job on Dangerfield was a highlight yesterday.

Great to see we can shut down opposition players of their standard and even better to see it done by players who are not known taggers.

I wonder who will take Cotchin and Martin on Friday night?

If Jamar can compete with Maric we should take it right up to Richmond.

Tagging with no McKenzie.... He is going to find it hard to get back into the 1's you would think....

they were talking about it on the footy show today and said what vince did was fine and walsh was wrong with his comments. They actually spoke about danger staging for free kicks and how that isnt a great look.

Wondered about the bad feeling between the two of them.

 

Adelaide have always been a bunch of petulant and pathetic sooks.

The way they threw Trenners under a bus with the bad concussion Dangerfield got (before kicking 5 goals the next week) will live in my memory for a long time.

The club have a record of going to the tribunal and exaggerating incidents to get people rubbed out. A bunch of flogs

Think you will find that Danger kicked 6 goals the following week after feigning concussion and Adelaide whining to the tribunal. That stinking carcass of a club is yet to get what it deserves.

Go Bernie,,,


If anything Walsh should have a crack at the lack of support Dangerfield got early from his teammates.

A good player has to learn to handle that. Dangerfield and the clubs reaction has just made his season harder than it already is.

Maybe Walsh has said '...until you sign up Paddy you are on your own out there...you support us we will support you etc etc' :unsure:

And the good part about those players above is that they also contributed to the game offensively as well. In the past our players might have shut down one of their good players but not added too much to the contest itself. Viney and Vince have both shown they have the capacity to limit the opposition while contributing for us going forward.

 

I must admit that I was on the fence about the value of Bernie - not any more. He came of age as a Demon and as a leader. I just hope it continues.

Looks like the Crows players are holding no grudges towards Bernie.

Great Pic. The media should put that photo up, just to show that this is just a game (not war) played my men mature enough to know not to take it too serious.

I don't know why.

I'm genuinely intrigued as to why some of our supporters are surprised about such things.

The bloke is a classy, hardened AFL player with experience and form on his side. Any player of that calibre is going to be of 'value' to us.

I guess because in the past our track record of getting value from highly paid imports is not great.

Hes a gun and he might be the only MFC player in our history to have 40 possessions and 3 goals in the same game (vs North last year)

Anyone know if any other Demon has done it besides Bernie?

Tagging with no McKenzie.... He is going to find it hard to get back into the 1's you would think....

Yep, he's done. Good tagger, but just didnt have the required kicking skills.


Seeing how Vince played on Dangerfield gave me renewed optimism in our aggression on-field, although I would've loved to see Viney relish in those conditions. I'd love to see someone do that every week though, not exacerbated by the personal connection Vince had.

Tapscott used to be the concrete dummy who we'd play just so he could smash a bloke, but thankfully Vince has some skill too

Thought id go for a sunday stroll onto the Crows bigfooty board.

Enjoy the show ^_^

''Paul Roos coaching style. It's worked for him. Once. But Melbourne were attacking in round 1 and got a massive win, kicking over 100 points for the first time under his tenure, then the first half last week, they were on track again. They get smashed in the 2nd half last week to lose by a ton and they come out playing the man and being all dour and defensive again. Note to Roos, you'll need to kick goals to win games!

''Paul Roos. I'm going to avoid having a dig at Vince as he was merely the symptom of the root cause, and that is Roos wanting Melbourne to play like a bunch of goons. Paul Roos caused that 3 quarter time melee with his disgusting style of play. If Melbourne want to play that way, that's up to them but they're not going to win many games playing the man and not the ball''.

''I dont expect Vince to be laughing or being jocular, but a the same time acting like a street thug on a footy field is a reflection of the coaching manner of Paul Roos. Disgraceful''.

''Lost a fair bit of respect for Bernie this afternoon, went out to be a thug and thats it. Paul Roos is destroying that side, they have loads of talent but are being sent out to stop the opposition nothing more''.

''Bernie Vince - a bloke I do know well totally lost his marbles today. Weak as they come''.

''I think on reflection Bernie Vince may list today as one of his regrets in football. I dont think he could be proud about the "fairness" in which he approached and played today's game. Its a pity because the Bernie I remember was a highly skilled weapon at his best for us''. clear.png

Melbourne have really molded him well''.

''McDonald (wont get near Tex on a dry day)''

Vince - I think Carl hit the nail on the head - his physicality was likely an over reaction against his old club. Whatever the reason, he was deplorable today. Shameful really.

''Bernie in his latter time was emersed in self absorbed pin up boy mindset. In my opinion he never truly committed. After today his tactics were really outside the ethics of AFL fair play. I would not like our players to resort to what he did. I hope he cops some grief on review to pushing players heads into the ground. That is how I seen it. Proud of our guys not to re arrange his pretty boy face.''

''Melbourne players constantly tackled us at the stoppages before we'd taken possession of the ball. Was infuriating. Because the umps let it go early they had to continue all game. Made it very scrappy''.

Sorry, I think you have the wrong forum here, I have linked the women's netball website for you below

Now back to the full body contact sport of Australian rules football.

What vince and other great taggers have - a nasty streak

I have a different take on it.

Walsh has highlighted two things. The very close attention paid to Dangerfield and the lack of help he got from his teammates.

Watch next week as Danger's teammates start blocking and belting into Danger's tag and watch as the umpires pay Danger free kicks when anyone even looks at him.

This is not the first time a coach has highlighted tough tactics on a star player and it won't be the last.

So why doesn't umpire protect Jones He is scagged every week and is blocked way off the contest illegally in my opinion


So why doesn't umpire protect Jones He is scagged every week and is blocked way off the contest illegally in my opinion

100% correct, we get zero protection for our best players from the umpires

Late in the game on Saturday Jones got taken high then another player jumped on his back in the same contest. Umpire called play on. Because Jones isn't a little b*tch, he got up, shook his head, and ran to the next contest.

But because Dangerfield likes to have a cry, he made everything Vince did look 100% times worse.

I loved Vince's game and wish he played with that aggression every week. With Vince tackling like a demon and Viney and Brayshaw we have the capability of being the toughest team in the competition.

 

Never really understood comments like this. None of the women I know that play high standard netball are even remotely soft.

I watched my daughter play her first game of football yesterday and she was so relentlessly hard at it. Not sure where she got that from as I am soft as butter.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
