Bernie on AFL.com.au discussing the Crows.....referred to Tippet at Swans playing against the Crows as "US".

A little bit disappointed to hear..but anyhow moving on

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...

I think he said it that way as tippets first time playing against the crows he (vince) was still a crows player

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

haha on saturday night footy lie detector with brian taylor he finally admitted he reckons the Crows are 'better blokes' than they Dees... got busted for lying about it

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
