Has Bernie Vince become our best player?

Featured Replies

 

Vince should have 12 Brownlow votes by now. If we win as few more games, he should be a rough chance for AA honours.

What games do you have him polling votes and how many?

I could only find around 7-9

 

I love the Vince long kick off one step too. I love it because when we actually have players forwards of the ball it is extremely effective and doesn't allow opposition defenders to set up. I may have mentioned this a few times here in the past.

He does that thing where it spills (or gets directed) out of a stoppage to him, and he kinda rocks back, does a fadeaway move, and kicks super high, where his boot makes contact with the ball around shoulder height, in order for him to clear the players trying to spoil that are right in front of him, takes a split second reaction to pull it off and he pumps it long. Happened several times out of the middle last week and puts us inside 50 about 5 seconds after the ball is bounced

Bernie Vince replacing Luke Parker in Lloyd's mid season all Australian team. Not bad.

The long-life likes of an R. Harvey, C. Bradley or Sam Mitchell type all seem to have these durable ever-ready work-horse bodies. Bernie is some other bizarre creation, just starting to elevate his game at 30ish and still looking like a serious spring chicken. It's hard to even imagine a deliberation on his retirement in a couple years. Vince been evidently watching Cocoon vids on VHS for match-day motivation.

yes, if you knew nothing of bernie's background and just met him you'd think he was closer to 20 than 30

we might get quite a few more years yet.....here's hoping


And hopefully enough games for his alleged off-field proclivities to reward us with a rich supply of illegitimate father-son mini-V's. Just noticed his ripper against the Cats was Bernie's 100th goal in the AFL. Not a bad way to bring up the milestone.

You mean to say he's dangerous because he kicks the ball forward quickly meaning our forwards don't have extra defenders around them? What an outrageous tactic.

Isn't it better to handball backwards and around and around until the defenders get back and then rush a kick onto the boot that lands 20 metres closer to the opposition's goals than if they kicked it in the first place? That sounds like the more logical move.

Has had virtually no pre-season.

Genius move!

No preseason. I thought we got rid of he-who-we-effectively-traded-him-for for that same reason.

Shows that some see it as an excuse for failure, others see it as a challenge to overcome.

Another BOG performance... This bloke is all class, what a pick up his been. He was always a good player at Adelaide but I reckon his taken his game to another level. Can't recall too many players who have been able to shut down the oppositions best mid but still be so offensive and hit the scoreboard. Hopefully his got a few more good years left in him.. What a legend

To answer the question both succinctly and in detail

Yes

Still true


Brownlow smokey? Another 2 or 3 games like that and he might go close...

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

with a bit of luck then hh the umps might confuse jones for bernard and he has 24 votes :o

So Nathan shaved his head to look like Gablett for nothing? Time to grow a Fyfe-fro.
