Bernie Vince Suspended for 1 Week

Featured Replies

Posted

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  

 

Will be offered 2 reduced to an early plea for one! IMV

I agree


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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
