Player Watch #23 Bernie Vince - Retired - Thanks Bernie

[schmuttt]

As expected, he would be on a lot less money and would have been told he will most likely play a fair bit of VFL. I know M Crouch looks a gun but Vince had far more impact than Crouch would have in his first 3 years here, and we have plenty of inside mids anyway. One of the better trades we've made in recent memory.

I'm hoping he can get to 100 games for us. Think of all the love-childs from around the globe we could have playing for us in 18 years time....

 

[mrmonkey]

I'm happy for to have him go around next year providing he doesn't do the kick outs.

While we did okay out of it, I'm sure the Adelaide recruiting side would still be hosing themselves down over the deal. Also, if Matt Crouch is an inside mid, and Bernie is an inside mid...

I know it was probably done in a rush, but could a mod please fix the spelling in the thread title for me? Thanks.

I think it has class. Don't change.

I'm sure that nasty nasty toenail injury was holding him back a bit at stages this year.

More of a concern was his shithouse decision making at times and the brainfades that got him suspended. Far far far too senior to be doing that.

Could be important in us making finals next year or could be playing in the VFL because he's gone.

He's done.

He was great for us. But if he's playing games for us next year we'd have to have an extensive injury list.... enough to keep us out of the finals.

 

[booshboy]

Thought he was cooked at the end of last year.

Credit where its due, he's been one of our best over the first fortnight.

Onya Bernie.

Makes me wonder how bad his toe really was

Yep. Will be very happy to eat my words if he earns another contract, love the bloke.

maybe everyone should stop writing off proven players after a few bad games

It was a whole season mate, was average in 2016 too.

Glad to see him back playing well again, love him to death. Would love to see him get to 100 games for us.

Plays 15 more games and he'll get to 100

Has he been a full-time tagger/run-with this year?

Don't think so against Geelong. Was following Zorko for much of the game yesterday.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Should go to Higgins next week. Bernie's been solid this year so far.

Seems to have eliminated the brain fades. Lucky we got Lewis for that now.

Probably just being more selective with when he does them. You get more value for your brain fades when you're the only one doing them.

Would love him to smother Higgins, just dislike then the bloke.

Is Bernie cooked? Getting ultra low disposals these days and is ok defensively but nothing to write home about.

Yes.
