Bernie threw an elbow to the throat of Macmillan in the 3rd quarter. Was late and high contact.. The replay I saw initially I thought he was in trouble but haven't seen a replay since. Think he may miss the collingwood game, anyone else see the incident ? thoughts

    Insufficient force, no damage to player. Will get 1 week for stupidity, but offered a fine with an early guilty plea.

    He is Gawn for at least 2 looking at the video!

    I only saw it on a small screen, but from that footage it would be hard to justify a suspension.  Low impact, didn't really get him high.  I think he should be ok.

    2 weeks for that. Almost 2 steps after the player kicked the ball, deliberate, high, and dont fool yourself that that didn't  hurt.

    He might get lucky as it barely made contact. Stupid action though.

    Moloney...........missed........2 weeks

    but then the MRP so severely confused, compromised and inconsistent, who knows?

    Hope for a reprimand but likely 1 week. 

    Silly. 

    We are a long way off mastering anti social football at the moment. Too many dumb down fields and silly incidents. Senior players involved in some of them. 

    I guess sometimes you have to cross the line to find the right spot when for a long time we've been no where near physical enough. Just wish it wasn't Bernie!

    I think 1 week for stupidity alone... 

    Am i the only one thinking that Bernie has had a pretty average start to the season? 

    Don't get me wrong... I have a man crush on Bernie, but so many times today I saw him just hack the ball forward on a 90deg angle without even raising his eyes...

    I understand the whole "move it forward quickly" mentality, but this action more often than not ends up with the opposition defenders marking uncontested and beginning a foray forward...

    Was actually really annoying me today... I think if he does get a week, then a part of me will be looking forward to seeing the team dynamic without him...

    Historically we are the only club ever to have had a player suspended for missing.

    The hacked kick forward is a weakness in his game for a player so very capable of getting out of trouble and using the ball well on both feet but we won't be better without him.

    He made a difference going in to the middle against GWS in the last quarter and he was involved in our best passages and ran more than most others in the slops of round 2. I'd say he's got room to improve but wouldn't quite go as far as saying average.

    I tend to agree that we will not be better without him, but I won't be too upset as I think we will convincingly beat the filth next week...

    Vince is great and I only question his method of moving the ball forward as it has irked me so far this year.

    I have found myself struggling with crazy thoughts so far this season.... Most notable being the voice in my head telling me we have the wrong guy as captain... 

    I need a lie down as the roller coaster ride we have endured thus far is clearly causing me some head trauma!

    For those saying he missed, it's time for a visit to the umpires' sponsor. Was low impact but the intent is what will get him a week's holiday.

    Hopefully he gets off through sheer luck of missing.

    Unbeliavably stupid thing to do. He had a while think about it. We need him against the Pies. BOG last time of meeting.

    Can you get done on intent even if you miss? Geez, I must've seen 100 cheap shots just as bad miss and nothing ever said.

    I can't give you the match times but if you can check out Grigg on Fyfe in the NAB Challenge. I'll be v upset if Vince goes for that. If it connected however, he'd be screwed, and it had the potential to be extremely bad.

    It's a shame if he does go, 2 of his best games were against Pendlebury last year.

    Moloney was.  They admitted that he hadn't made contact and still gave him two weeks because he clearly intended to make contact.

    Nothing in it but the tribunal is corrupt/incompetent as shown by their Essendon verdict and what they've done to Viney and Trengove in the past

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
