Vince v Dangerfield

[jnrmac 20,055]

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!

[jnrmac 20,055]

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....

[dees189227 12,373]

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.

[jnrmac 20,055]

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,,,

[Bang Bang Bang 5,802]

Looks like the Crows players are holding no grudges towards 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'

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.

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.

[mauriesy 7,261]

It was a pity we didn't have Viney to niggle the crap out of Sloane.

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?

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

[Je Roos Salem 661]

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

[DemonFrog 1,354]

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''.

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''.

What vince and other great taggers have - a nasty streak

[nutbean 8,838]

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.

[jackaub 1,402]

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

[Jaded No More 68,867]

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.

[Fat Tony 5,220]

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.

For those of you who would like to see Bernie's demolition job on Dangerfield, I give you...

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.
