Has Bernie Vince become our best player?



Recommended Posts

Posted

This thread was ahead of its time. I answered 'no' at the time, I'd like to change that to a 'yes', thanks.

On current form will win the B&F in a canter, and will feature in the Brownlow votes.

I would like to think that Jack Viney will be a contender. Absolutely fantastic year - deserves some club recognition.

At this stage I have Vince on 13 votes and Jonesy on 11

Just a shade behind Fyfe who's on about 39 already.

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

I agree with you Moon.

Sickeningly.

Yes, followed very distantly by Jesse Hogan and James Brayshaw.

James has had a great year in the Channel Nine commentary box! Adjudged BOG in the Big Bash but disappointing in the Tests.

Is he our best player this year?

Clearly yes because of his consistency and the fact that he's been amazing at shutting down players (since his Dangerfield game) and beating them at clearances and he's often shown them how to score goals as well.

Is he the best player on our list?

Plenty of potential rivals here and I think we sometimes forget that Nathan Jones is our only midfielder who gets tagged almost every week and his kicking skills are just amazing.

Is he our most crucial player?

Which player, when absent, mucks up our structure more - Gawn, Hogan or even maybe T-Mac would probably pip him here.

Is he our first All-Australian since Jamar and Frawley?

Got to be a chance now and the fact that he tags gives him a point of difference. Will probably get down to him v Armitage because they have to go with the usual big names first - Fyfe, Cotchin, Danger, Micthell, Pendles etc

Its not just the disposals and three goals but pendles had no impact on the game, the crows must not have thought he had this in him.

I swore to myself I’d never make that mistake. Blame the drinks I had last night.

Bernie has been our best recruit of the last 10 years.

He has fulfilled everything the recruitment would have asked. I bet Adelaide are not happy they tossed him out.

3-4 more years left

Would love Bernard to play in September for the MFC

That would [censored] the Camry Crows right off...

Marvellously skilled player - all of the 1st & 2nd year players should be looking on enviously at Bernie's effortless left foot goal kicking and be furiously trying to emulate him.

The left footer that effectively sealed the win at the Cattery together with the one that kickstarted us against The Filth are genuine highlights of the season so far.

(P.S. The final 1/4 boundary line rightfooter against the Bulldogs after nailing Bontempelli was also pretty good).

He will still be motoring along and impacting games until hes 35.

Hes having an AA season, and didn't he miss almost all preseason? What a pro

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
