I'm really surprised at how well Bernie's doing, considering he came back down here only a couple of years ago because he couldn't get into the Woodville West Torrens team.

Yeah, just look at last year even, then look at this year, or the week end, 30 possessions and 3 goals is elite.
Infact, he is averaging more stats than alot of supposed elite midfielders.
How he will stand up to hard tags is another thing entirely.

I start to wonder though, will he ever need to stand up to a hard tag?
I mean, if you have Thompson and Reilly running around, who is going to tag him? If Dangerfield turns out to be the player we hope, and Porplyzia gets his shoulder right, choosing who to tag will be a nightmare for opposition coaches.
It's like how Edwards was able to play the majority of his career without a tag because who was going to tag him before Ricciuto, McLeod and Goodwin?
if Vince becomes 1st tier next year, he'll attract a tag; only after Scott Thompson of course. Porplyzia won't get a tag, as he's not a huge possession winner like Vince, and Danger will play his first season next year, so he won't attract tags for at least another couple years after that.
i wonder if and when Reilly will get back to his top form again; did he attract tags in the past?

I know this is old, but it is true. I played cricket at Stansbury in December and ended up dropping Bernie and also bowling to Chris Knights. He hit 4 6's in 1 over. They got about 250 between them and we got all out for 30 or so... They also ended up winning the premiership defeating Edithburg/Honiton.

Dno about you guys, but I'm finding Bernie's performances this year a little underrated.

He is basically an identically balanced player to Hodge, with Hodge only slightly better in each area.
Another pre season, and he'll be up there.

Yep, he's been outstanding, but the less atention he gets the better imo 
Hodge has been dogged by injuries though.
But there is no doubting, Vince has become a player and a half. He basically plays like a mid-sized midfielder but with a barrelling body and a booming kick. Much like a recent captain of ours!

Yeh no doubt, but its averages, so it still evens out.

One mark of a player with genuine class is their ability to calm a terribly scrappy passage of play down and turn it into a goal scoring opportunity. Vince has done that several times this season.

Bernie played well again last night, good on him.
Edit:
Also, he was No 17 when he played for the CMS Crows.

I did get around to asking him why he changed, said he's been 17 all his life

Lol
. There's a 1999 CMS Crows Juniors premiership photo at the club down here with a 14 year old Bernie Vince, he hasn't changed at all.

Hmm, where was that and when? I live 15 minutes from Stansbury, which is where he grew up.

I guess Bernie Vince is heading back here to the Yorkes this summer, i might end up playing cricket against him again. Last time we played at Stansbury, he and Chris Knights got about 200 between them and Stansbury got 1/360 or so in the end, we got all out for about 30. We did have 6 14-15 year olds though, including myself (in an A-grade side)

Continues to progress his stake as the Crows number 1 party boy.. Spotted at a well known "recovery" nightclub in Adelaide at 8am Sunday morning

So....if he is going to do that sort of stuff, now is the time.

I must've been mistaking but i thought he played cricket for Stansbury on Saturday. Ah well i hope i don't have to try and catch him or bowl to him again.
Just make sure you spare your co-workers the garlic breath.
