Has Bernie Vince become our best player?

He is by far our most complete player

Most talented midfielder on our list by a fair margin.

    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.

    Said it before and i'll say it again. He is everything we hoped (for 10 years) Sylvia would become.

    Masterful list management by all involved.

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

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

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

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

    I agree with you Moon.

    Sickeningly.

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

    could Bernie win the Brownlow? maybe not but will win this year's B&F if he keeps his form.

    Remember the Sylvia compo = pick 23 = trade to Crows for Vince.

    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

    My favourite player. Possibly of all time.

    That we got him for pick 23 is an absolute joke.

    And, for the first time in living memory, the laughs are not on us.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
