Bernie Vince Re-Signs for 2018

Its a good move. I think Vince can lift. Had an ok year, but was carrying a bad toe injury earlier in the year, and he did well to play through that. He improved slightly in the latter half of the year, but he has plenty of improvement in him for the next year. Also, he is now becoming more familiar with his role down back. I think he will have a great 2018. Expecting Vince to bounce back.

    Really happy Bernie is going round again.

    Not to worried about his lack of pace.  His main value to us is when he shuts down a player like Sloane, Danger etc.  In that respect Bernie is a high impact player which I value more than one who runs around getting lots of possessions. 

    His presence and conduct on the field also protects our young players from too much rough stuff (soon they will be big and bold enough to protect themselves). 

    Those elements alone make him great value - I can forgive the odd blooper.

    Goody just indicated on SEN that Bernie is prepared to play footy at Casey next year if his form warrants it. That was part of the conversation that they had before he re-signed. BV just wants to keep playing and he is happy to mentor blokes playing at Cranbourne if that's what the club asks of him.

    Bernie would have meant what he said to Goody and I'm happy with his re signing, but I'd like to think he'll be doing everything possible still to make the 22 and in turn keep pressure on others to work as hard or harder to take that spot.

    Great stuff. Henry (my four year old) and I love Bernie.

     

    He's a favourite at our place too. My daughter is devastated that he's about to get married.

    That girl had better hurry up and marry him, before I do!  Got a serious man crush on Bernie.  Absolutely top bloke. 

    To think that he came to us when we were on our knees, when had he stayed at the Crows, he could be just about to play off in a GF.  He deserves to be at the MFC when we finally have some decent success again.

    He's been a very good servant to the club in difficult times and deserved the extra year.

    Not much to dislike other than the fact he has 2 first name

    It's basically been said, but he's too slow nowadays; his kicking is a liability, even forward of centre; however, he does give us experience out there and on the training track. I'll trust the FD on this one.

    He's not cooked.

    That expression sucks as well.

    I believe JW's # 4 said the same thing !

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
