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.

    Hope he is the first domino.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
