He’s an old campaigner, we don’t have many, and he could be invaluable come the heat of September. Love that he hits to hurt opposition and can do a job on the best, see Dangerfield tag of a few years ago. 

Experience equal versatility and flexibility to adapt as coach needs. 

While he may struggle to play AFL in 2019, especially if we land Gaff,  Id keep him on just in case and to keep real pressure on our best 22, should he not be a walk up.

    A yes from me.

    Even if he plays out a few games at Casey  , his experience and what he can impart to the up coming list is worth it..imho

    Not a decision I’d be making after Round 9 of the season. Yes he’s been playing some good footy but I’d rather decide end of season.

    We play finals. We play Adelaide. We need to tag Sloan. We play finals. We play Geelong. We need to tag Selwood. 

    Name one player on our list who you would feel more confident giving the job to than Vince. 

    For me Vince will be invaluable in finals. He is hard as nuts and he gives his all. He is experienced and I think players love him around.

    Bernie is playing in the top 22 at the moment.

    The following haven't ever and are out of contract at year end:

    Johnstone, McKenna, Keilty, Balic, with Filipovic and King

    The following are fringe and are out of contract at year end:

    JKH, Bugg, Kent, Pedersen, Vandenburg

    Some will be kept for development, but that is 11 players who are on the edge. 

    If only 1/2 on that list go then the replacement draft pick is still somewhere north of 100. 

    Is Bernie better than that?   Pretty easy really.

    This just belies all evidence. He hasn’t missed a game; not a bad effort for someone supposedly no longer good enough for a spot on the list.

    Its a ruthless game & there is no room for sentimentality if you want to be successful.  I love the bloke but reckon he is struggling & lucky to be in the 22.

    Should be delisted at years end.

    Might want to read G O O T just above.

    Sums it up pretty much.

    Cheers.

    It’s a no from me.

    The bloke could easily have cost us three goals in the first half against better opposition on Sunday, through poor dangerous kicks deep in defence.

    Doesn’t have the composure he used to and throws it on the boot far too often for my liking.

    I like the guy and think he’s great for the club...would be happy for him to prove me wrong, but think the games passing him by.

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

    What a load of rubbish. Vince has done his job every week and thoroughly deserves his spot. 

    What games have you been watching?

  • Quote

    Rather early to say.

    Considerations:

    His form, fitness.

    Form and progress of others his junior.

    Progress of the team as a whole.

     

    Hopefully we won’t be in a position to even think about it for another 20 or so weeks, plus GF winning hangover.

    Perfect call.

    Both Vince and Lewis stay info the list until someone pushes them off.  I'm hoping Hunt can do that, but right now they are holding their own.

    I was tempted to say no, but then I look at the bottom end of our list and realise there are at least six players there who will never be AFL footballers.

    I'd keep Bernie at age 33 on a moderate salary ahead of any of McKenna, Vandenberg, Johnstone, Kennedy-Harris, Bugg, King, or Filipovic.

    Same goes for Pedersen at age 32 next season when that question is posed shortly.

    The easy answer is Jones, he did a brilliant job on Mitchell and with Viney now back he'll be less needed for pure grunt work. I don't think Vince has the capability to be a tagger anymore, he's been used off half back all season not as a tagger.

    Not sure why so many are quick to either pension him off or keep him over a younger player, there's so much time left in the season. I fully expect at some point we'll give him a week or 2 off (same as we should for Lewis - unless the MRP does it for them), and at that point it might be better known (a) how we go without him and (b) if there is someone else on the list that can perform his role at the same level or better. Only then can we make a reasonable judgement of his potential for next year.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
