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 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
