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.

    Do not forget Kent is a WA boy too.

    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.

    • 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.
