2015 Player Review - # 23 Bernie Vince

"Vince's 10th AFL season was one of his finest, as he became part of a select club of players to win a best and fairest at more than one VFL/AFL club. He is now just the 19th player to achieve this feat. Vince had an outstanding season, which included three matches where he won 38 touches in each game. He also won 30 possessions and kicked three goals against Collingwood in round 18."

    Already a favourite amongst legions of Melbourne supporters and rightly so.

    Epitomises all that we could only hope a whole MFC team could be. Spirited, dynamic and effective.

    Thanks Bernie

    The Crows are going to miss him even more with Dangerfield gone.

    I was one who was critical of him in 2014 due to his lack of defensive work, but he was exceptional in that regard this year. Probably only a couple of quiet weeks kept him out of the All Australian squad, and a deserving B&F winner. More of the same next year please Bernie.

    Bernie was 17th in the Brownlow. ie Top 20.

    This vindicates the coaches selection of him in their AA Team.

    Confirms what we all know that he is one of the best in the AFL.

    Well done for a great season.

    In reality this result only means he was the 17th best midfielder this year.

    Yes he took your comments on board and improved accordingly. Thanks for that.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
