Has Bernie Vince become our best player?



Recommended Posts

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
