    I don't think it is news that he was moved on, rather than the other way around.

    It's tough to disengage yourself if you have been there long enough.

    I don't see him in a different light because of a 'slip' like that.

    I love him for sticking up for Jack by the way...

    Pretty normal to be honest if you have been at a club a long time. Actually any place such as school, work etc you and take ownership of what happened there. Given his efforts for us this year I'm very happy to have him.

    I agree. Its just like when you change jobs. When telling a story or a recall to your new workmates you might accidentally refer to your old place of employment as we or us. As time passes he will lose the habit, and melbourne will be his club entirely.

    Love Bernie. We would be worse without him, easily.

    I agree. Don't care if he still loves Adelaide either, if he does, so long as he busts a gut when wearing a Melbourne jumper, and he does. I'd be staggered if blokes like he and Cross didn't still have their hearts at their old clubs to some degree.

    Nice to have fresh faced Bernie and his pinpoint kicks in our team.

    He is a breath of fresh air .

    It's natural for him to love the club and the guys he played with for 9 years and I'd expect Cross to be in the same boat.

    As long as they give their all while they're in the red and blue, it's forgiven.

    Absolutely, and they both certainly have been giving all, as they are 2 blokes of great integrity. Our blokes are hopefully learning a heap from them.

    Let's remember this when we criticise guys like Cameron Bruce and Jeff Farmer. You never forget where you came from...unless you're Tom Scully of course, in which case you can pay people to remember for you.

    I do this from time to time with my wife, calling her the ex's name... She still loves me, I think.

    The OP wants to know if you love your current wife, though. I think.

    Vince played most his career at Adelaide.

    No doubt Vince wanted to stay there, but smart trading by the Crows.

    If I was a Crows supporter, I'd be happy the club moved on Vince and got a 15 year player in Crouch.

    Moving right on....

    Demonland is like a melbourne game, I end up looking forward to it but always disappointing.

    love the user name!

    You play 100% for the club you are now doesn't mean you have to give up your past...

    Cross will remember himself as a bulldog and Vince may (due to age) remember himself as a crow or dee but rivers will always be a dee so will Bruce and McDonald... No one remembers Brenton's as a swan or pie only a hawk...

    The only disappointment about Bernie is we gave up a pick which is the same issue with Dawes!!!

    We have players taken off us for nothing but have to give up picks to get players... In the end Colin for Bernie is great value but one club gave up nothing the other gave up a comp pick!!!

    Se thing shat me with Dawes he gets paid 250k a year at collingwood and we have to offer 550k to get him but then give a pick in the 20s... Grrrr to free agency

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
