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

I thought one week was fair until i watched the video again. Does anyone else think that if you got elbowed in the jaw your head would move sideways? Seems the North player has some incedible neck mus

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

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...

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.

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.

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
