Love 'im and it's great to hear him encouraging and teaching out there.  Was a little surprised to hear how quiet the other players were out there though.

Loved his comment to Jeffy: "This is why you play"

Can't help but feel they had to edit out all the best bits. But I loved Bernie's leadership and positive direction. Setting up around the ground is so vital, you can see scores happening if one or two players are just a bit out.

Tom Bugg next week please!

Love Bernie - he is a great leader, player and all round top bloke by accounts. I have two daughters - I seriously want him to marry into my family.

I can only dream.

Thnx for that.

Wish they had've played some excerpts from the biffo though!

Considering they played it on Channel 7, it just would have been something along the lines of "**** you ******* **** come on then you *** *** ******"

What do you recon 3 sec mean? He says it twice.

I was thinking it was maybe a term to say you have a bit of time (3sec) to make up you mind, dont panic and make the right choice. 

 

but could be something else. 

 

Plus, he calls all the guys "boy".....good boy, get around!!!!

Was an edit but surprised he doesn't have a cheekier on-field persona. Was expecting him to say 'check this one' into the mic. as he roosted the goal from 50.

Full of concentration our Bernie. Plays the game not the mics.

I was wondering that too - seems to say it at stoppages.

Was thinking it might be breaking the contest into tiny units, like: 'Win the next three seconds...'??

Why would he say that? 

Heat of the game i highly doubt he has time for cheekiness just for a little mic.

What i got out of that is his leadership around the contest. Was also good of him to not shout down Hunt for his mistake but encourage him more.

I would lose a lot of respect for him if he did that. This is not an American sport yet.

Yeah, I was kidding. Gee, don't mess with the Bernie love. Most were pretty chuffed with Bugg's goal-square mischief and in honesty, it wouldn't bother me if Bernie had indeed done it. The players are riding a wave of confidence bordering on a necessary arrogance and some players get their mojo from playing to the audience.

Absolutely love the way Bernie got around Hunt after that brain fart, i think anyone who has played footy for any period of time has had a moment like that where you just totally muck something up, it's not the end of the world, great leadership by Bernie.

He and Nathan Jones seem to have a bit of good cop bad cop going on, Nathan is the hard edge captain and Bernie is the experienced good bloke, both can be quite firm but they seem to really work well together as the older leaders.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
