He's in our best 22 and the coaches are happy with him. 

Does he go around for 1 more year?

    No would hate to lose a player like hunt to keep Vince.

     

    Why would we lose Hunt?

    Yes. IIRC, Vince has said he would play at Casey and be a back up and do it for less money so he can stay connected to the afl.

    A handy in if we got lots of injuries.

    on last year's form? no. on this year's form thus far? yes. i'd prefer to wait until the end of our season to see how he's gone and if he has the legs to go around again nek year.

    Last year he played while missing a toenail which impacted his ability to kick. Still a very handy player and lile another poster said he is prepared to play at Casey to stay on the list. Also agree we shouldnt lose someone like Hunt to keep him.

    He’s been excellent since he came over. I’m struggling to answer, so far his season has been underrated imo. Dreaming I know, but it would be awesome to see Bernie hold up the Cup in his final game.

    I thought this year would be his year at Casey, but considering he is playing as well as he is, I'd keep him. Whether that is on Melbourne's list or Casey's is the question.

    When does he 100 games for the Dees? I'd like to se him clock that up.

    I'm with Gorgoroth. If he's playing well and is happy to be a depth player, all good. It would depend on draft considerations etc

    I agree with the 100 game thingy. Would be nice to see little Bernies running around in the future.

     

    We will have plenty of players to delist this year. Not sure if we want to offload heaps given our compromised draft position.

    I'm not even sure he should be playing this year. He's a liability against good opposition.

    Plus would be good for him to lead and develops the younger guys coming through Casey for a year

    No.. shouldn't have even gotten a contract this year.

    He’s had no trouble at all retaining his place in the side and he hasn’t had any injury woes. I’d say he’s playing better now than he did last year as well. At this stage I’d anticipate him still being on the list next year, but there’s still a lot of season to go yet. He’ll be the last player they offer a contract to and it will depend on what happens with everyone else, and he will understand that.

    I love Bernie still. He instantly made us better in the Roos era, and while he’s not the dynamic player he was then, he still plays a tough brand of footy and still adds to the side. Looking forward to seeing him clock up his 100th MFC game later in the year.

    Won't want a player like hunt seek opportunity at another club, Vince gets picked every week even when he has 12 disposals, and kills moment with a turnovers. seems like he is under no scrutiny at all rather hunt playing then Vince, Goodwin plays him because his his mate, hate it when he is taking kickouts, when he takes them we can't get out of our defensive 50, all Vince has got is a long kick.

    Does Vince get another year?

    My heart says yes.

    Gut says no.

    Head says wait another 4 months and see how things play out.

    Probaby not,  but dependent on many variables... form,  cost,  whether we need to jettison salary cap to make a trade or renew contracts of current players.

    Whether "Vince gets another year" or not surely has nothing to do with the illuminati of a footbaling website.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
