Has Bernie Vince become our best player?

He is almost certainly our most important, but it's a stretch to call him our best.

For you, not for me.

Nate Jones is our best player by far. No doubt.

I didn't think we could have a 'best player'. Wasn't that where your argument before stemmed from?

It's called setting the bait chris. Got you instead.

Every time I read his name I hear it in Old Man Crawf's voice.

VINCE!

VINCE!

*fart*

Edit: yes, my contributions to this forum are immense.

It's difficult to believe Vince had ZERO pre-season and is playing the way he is. Either he's a freak or pre-seasons are overrated. Maybe both.

that's the benefit of having 7 odd pre-seasons before that and not being a big heavy player

Bump. Jones was superb but Vince's last month has been as good as anyone in the comp. What an inspired pick up.

I love the Jones and Vince combination. They look for each other and share the ball and are playing like team mates. That makes such a difference to Jones I'm sure. With Viney tagging and other mids running through it makes a great combination.

Vince was amazing but honestly i thought viney was better, totally stopped selwood, gathered 27 touches,19 contested and 5 clearances as well

Huge from a bloke less than 40 games

I love that when Viney/Vince shut someone down, they get a load of of the ball themselves.

Keeping someone to 15-20 touches while you only get 10 yourself is nowhere as important as collecting 25 damaging touches yourself. Viney was excellent today, Selwood only came into the game when it was too late.

He is in AA form. I think Vince/Jones would be neck and neck for the bluey atm.

Always thought Bernie was handy and Jonesy inspirational, but this dreamteam in the middle with Viney and Brayshaw is mental. Where has this come from?!

Posted

Best player - don't know about that, but he's definitely in the best form. Been a while since I've seen an MFC player white hot like he is right now.

May have just hit the front in the Bluey

I'm still a Jones boy but Mr. Vince has won me over this year :wub:

Posted

Still has another good 3 to 4 years of good footy left in him.

I really feel he has embraced this footy club.

Posted

I can't wait to watch Bernie play finals with us.

I get the feeling that he would relish it. Seems to love the big games.

He always pops up with a crucial goal, too.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.
