Why Bernie, why?

I'm going to let him blame the sun on this occasion.

He was staring straight into it and their colours are kind of sunny ,as they are the suns.

So maybe he couldn't see Lynch in the Sun.

Clutching at straws there

Agreed, but he's had an ordinary year. Apart from a couple of games loose off half back, he's been a shadow of 2014/2015.

This. He's been undisciplined and wasteful for at least the last 6 weeks. And petulant.

Speaking to a Coterie Member on the train home. He reckons Vince has already re-signed for next year and he told them quite a while ago. Is this true? 

My own feeling is that Bernie has either got a social issue that is affecting his play or more likely he has fallen into his bad habits e.g. drinking etc.

He does seem half a yard short of speed at the moment. He was woeful today and against St. Kilda.

He needs to stop hanging around Dustin Martin.

Wasn't his re-signing announced weeks ago? Months ago even?


Does he need a strong mentor?  Is there such a person at MFC?

Could it be perhaps that he has a sore shin? Or maybe he has given Damien Barrett his glasses back.

He hurt his calf/shin a few weeks back, and hasn't been the same since.

I don't think it's fair that we go and claim that he is struggling because overnight he's become an egomaniac alcoholic. FFS he is having a bad patch, lets not go crazy here.

Needs to get back to form or take a holiday to Casey.

 

 

Yet another one who has signed a new contract and gone walkabout immediately thereafter. Surely it is not team rules to kick a 30 metre chip to a contest inside defensive 50 with seconds to go? What does Roos do to tell players, particularly senior players, that this is not acceptable?

If you are not smart enough to kick 50 metres along the boundary to your ruckman in a pressure situation, you should not be playing at this level.

Bernie was poor last week, and dreadful yesterday. I don't understand why he is not playing in the midfield where he has played all his best football for the club. If he is not fit, he shouldn't be playing.

Yeah maybe, orrrrrrrrr (and hear me out here) it could be the shin injury he copped a few weeks ago... But hey, just spitballin here..

 


He said to Watts he didn't see Lynch

Things happen for a reason; 

Vince had the type of game that was so very bad you briefly wonder if he had money on us losing. For that he gets a couple of pages on here of fairly mild criticism. 

Now picture the response if Tom Mac had of had that game...................scary

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
