Great news that he gets to face his old boys.

It would be nice if he can keep out of the MRP for the rest of the year because it seems like he's in the review every Monday.

[beelzebub 23,390]

things a joke in the first place

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Thought he was a VERY lucky boy.  Expected him to get a week, so it's nice to get a bit of luck this time around.

[Demon Disciple 12,492]

Just now, Wiseblood said:

Thought he was a VERY lucky boy.

Agreed, he is very lucky.

I would've suspended him for a week just because he has danced with the line of stupidity so many times this year already.

[beelzebub 23,390]

So Ziebell.. gets a 50...gets a good 'talking to " by Half the Hawks...is cleared !!!

Bernie just bracing himself to AVOID hitting with arm..get a fine..?? you kidding me folgs the lot of them 

[DubDee 26,401]

not sure how anyone is annoyed by this.  he clearly got him high which years gone by would have been a week for sure

glad the MRP is finally adding in some common sense to the mix.

Didnt think Ziebell's hit for worth a week either

[jnrmac 20,305]

Bernie should pay the $1000 before they change their mind.

What about the Swans [censored] who hit OMac? Any fines??

[RalphiusMaximus 6,110]

We should be calling Bernie Teflon Man.  I can't how often he gets off with fines and reprimands. 

[dee-tox 4,835]

Mmnn. Wasn't expecting this! Good result.

[Lord Travis 10,800]

Great result. It should've been a week suspension so pay the fine and run Bernie! Good to have him to play his old mob next match. We'll need him playing and playing well to be any sort of chance of winning.

[daisycutter 29,914]

he did catch him high but i didn't think it was intentional or dirty. conditions didn't lend themselves to "cleanly" executed bumps. also thought the swanee put on a bit of an oscar performance

thought ziebell's effort looked nastier and copped him fair in the neck with raised arms. was luckier than bernie to escape a holiday

[Moneider96 1,045]

Lucky man. Might end up copping a suspension against his old teammates though. 

[Steve13 457]

Very, very lucky. Deserved a week. pull your head...and elbows in Burnie 

[P-man 13,367]

Genuinely shocked he hasn't copped a week. The consistency is non-existent. Will happily take it though.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

What a joke. Can't believe he didn't get at least a week. Must be his good record...

But everyone loves Bernie, so he rightfully got off. 

Beauty. 

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Bernie is like a cat with 9 lives!

or he's really Simon the Likable.

Put your house on Bernie for the 3 Brownlow votes against the Crows.

 

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Fair to say that Bernie is playing with fire, and it is getting too close for comfort.

He needs to be careful, we can't afford to lose him from the side. 

[beelzebub 23,390]

Cant believe the rubbish on here.. There was nothing in it. Accidental collateral damage for the idiot being in the wrong spot .All in a tight multi personnel situation where even Bernie had not full control over the impact. Many bodies colliding. Compare that to Ziebell distinctly attempting that action...just a bit late and ALMOST too high. Even there..was just a shirtfront.

[Ted Lasso 19,567]

I am quite concerned by how consistently Bernie is finding himself in hot water, i believe he's still our best midfielder and we desperately need him in form to win games against good opposition, he's a leader now and we can't afford him missing games for reasons like this.
