Perhaps, and I certainly have been proven wrong.

However it's worth noting that at first Bernie was against the trade to Melbourne.  It was only when he was told he wouldn't be offered a new contract with Adelaide that he decided to leave.  They were of the opinion that he was finished.

That's all true, but I think 'wasted' was a touch too strong in describing his career over there. He did win a B&F in a strong side, and won showdown medals etc as far as I can recall. He was fairly integral to their midfield and it was a strong one!

    Love the Bernie, reminds me a lot of Jnr Mac, who we got rid of wayyy too early.

    Can see him turning into a Shaun Bourgoyne type from Hawthorn that will slowly ease out of the midfield and onto a half back line to utilize his damaging kicking skills and become that quarter back that will need alot of attention.

    Absolute star.

    What's the word around the place? Are they waiting to see how much Jesse wants before working how much is left for everybody else?

    Or is everybody else waiting to see what Jesse will do before committing?

    I have no idea. It is just interesting that our players are holding off, while other clubs are re signing their players.

    Hopefully  we keep everyone we want.

    I suspect with Hogan, Tmac and Tyson there would be a fair bit of interest in how the coaching transition goes and if we keep our upward trend, 

    Watts i think it would be pretty mutual that both sides want to see how the other goes, on current form i suspect he'll still be here next year

    Jetta, Kent and so on i would expect to just sign in due course, can't see any of those blokes going anywhere.

    His speech at the BnF last year was outstanding. Got me right in the feels. 

    Both he and Daniel Cross have been game changers for this club. Together they have signficantly accelerated the progression.

    He lived about 600km from the nearest service station, not sure there would be any huge lure home there haha

    That's simply not true.

    Adelaide were reeling from the Steven Trigg salary cap scandal and had lost draft picks. They had to trade to get picks and Bernie had value and was older. He wasn't de-listed as far as I am aware and they need to get some youth into the side.

    That's what leadership is. We have been devoid of it for a long time. We now have a solid line up of leaders and potential leaders.

    Vince would have to be the most satisfying recruit we have had for over a decade.  I always thought he was a gun even when playing at the Crows.  It was a surprise to me when we ended up with him.  Along with Cross and Garlett it looks like we had picked up a trio of top shelf made  players recently.

    I hope Bernie can still be just as damaging on the scoreboard from half back as he was in the midfield. He kicked some real game changers last year. One of my favourites for sure.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
