Bernie Vince is finished

[dazzledavey36 54,285]

Cost us the game with him trying to be too cute when the obvious was to go down the line. Tried to bomb it away at all cost and just turned it over far too often.

Has been servant but enjoy retirement next year.

[Watts the matter 1,235]

Not while Melksham is getting a game.

[Stingray 157]

Three goals minimum can be attributed directly to unforced errors / dropped marks by Bernie today. I do rate him - but today he was the difference in a very bad way. He was almost bad enough to warrant at rest next week.

 

Garlett outstanding though.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

I guess his toe was hurting.

What a load of bullish!t.

I hope the mods delete this pathetic effort of a thread.

Blaming Bernie over one effort for today's loss is narrow-minded.

[Stingray 157]

Couldn't agree more he cost us dearly today. His dropped marks were terrible. Can't do anything under pressure.

But can still add for us - but today wasn't his day.

Agree, stuffed around with it in the backline which lead to a turnover and goal. He also didn't mark or kill the contest on the HBF resulting in another goal. Then gets the ball and decides to thump it down a Freo defenders throat with 30 seconds to go (our last chance).

Sure, player's make mistakes, but his final 3 resulted in 2 goals against and snuffing out any chance of one of our own.

But he isn't the only one. The whole team didn't turn up for a whole [censored] quarter, and Weideman can't get it, isn't a presence and the few times he does get it he misses.

Not a defender. Play him there and expect poor games.

I agree with you on a lot Dazzle.

Can't agree with this. This is emotion speaking and not rationality.

[WattsUp2312 63]

This isn't the first time Vince has done this - that's the frustration. That called for a 60m kick

[mrtwister 652]

Chipped it when he should have bombed it and then bombed it when he should have chipped it. 

Veterans should know better

Haha get a load of this bloke?! Its a footy forum you sook! Don't like it then? don't reply.

Simple really.. Though thats hard for you even.

We had the game stitched up. That passage on the backline ahead of their winning goal was deplorable. Go down the line. No, we chip it around and stuff it up. It was the most Mel our new loss ever.

Not emotion at all. He nearly blew the game against GC last year when he did the exact same thing and kicked it straight to Tom Lynch.

Him in the backline doesn't fit at all. Everyone knows that, for someone with good foot skills he just turns it over far too easily.

You're overreacting again.

It's becoming quite a habit for you.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

That back 6 looks a lot better if you replace Melksham and Vince, with Hibberd and Lewis.

I like Vince and he played some great footy in the guts, but we have younger options there now.

He is in a bit of limbo at the moment.

[Ted Lasso 19,311]

He tries to be to cute at times but he isn't a bad player and easily in the best 10 players on our list

Finished I would suggest is him not being able to perform what bought him to be the big dance.

He got 25 possies today after surgery (albeit on a toe nail).

He gets 13 possessions today and we can have a conversation. Otherwise, no.

[DSP 1,488]

Who takes his spot?

How is it overreacting when majority on here are agreeing with me bar you? Your seriously delusional in the same form as Saty with the way you carry on.

Vince has been cooked since about the 2nd half of last year. He is a shadow of his former self.

It was the worst 25 disposal game you'll see.

 

[Radar Detector 1,347]

Viney is a bigger worry for me. What the hell has happened to him?

I don't have the energy to debate the point today but there were many other turnovers that resulted in goals today.

You just like to pick the easy ones that are on the last line of defence because it suits you're knowledge of the game.

[spirit of norm smith 16,293]

hibberd gets the back flank and vince moves forward.

agree we lost it today with poor defensive transition in the end.

[Adam The God 30,129]

I said at the start of the season that unless Vince improved his kicking big time, he wouldn't be best 22 by the end of 2017.

I'm not sure he has a position anymore. He shouldn't be getting games ahead of our young mids (except maybe ANB) and he is a liability by foot with fancy little dink kicks that constantly put team mates under pressure.

He's too slow for half forward, so maybe it is time to give him a spell at Casey? I'd normally say we couldn't afford a leader out, especially with Lewis already on the sidelines, but Vince does play like a leader, so it might be time for the VFL.
