Love Bernie. He kept us in the game. Simple. The focus by some wannabe school headmasters here is ridiculous - it's footy and he's not a nasty player. He's competitive, tough and cheeky. And

This concept of harmcaused being applicable to the punishment is stuffed. Bernie gave the bloke a low impact bicep to the head. Potential for damage from bicep = [censored] all. Varcoe runs

If this is all you base leadership criteria on you should probably start following another sport.

I'd challenge it. AFL has a systemic problem when love taps like that cops week and Rance gets the same for a blatant fist to the head. If that player didn't roll around like a [censored] it wouldn't have been brought up. I thought he hit Membrey. Report says Wright, is it a different incident ?

Challenge it. 

The old 2 down to 1 strategy is just a security blanket for the people making the decision. It forces the player to suck it up even though the decision is unreasonable.

Idiot. Has a track record of this behaviour. I hope Goody tears him a new one. Just dumb.

Yep. Vince is playing like the coach is his mate at the moment. Needs a lesson sent. Better hope it doesn't cost his team mates.

Agreed. Varcoe was far more dangerous. He came in at top speed

Players get sucked in by his antics and more often than not, it really does seem to throw them off their game.

This time he crossed the line. Didn't look like there was much in it, but sure... Cop the week, it is what it is.

Bernie needs to understand that there's a power of the badge vindictiveness that operates in this space ie he has trodden a very fine line on a number of occasions and quite possibly been given the benefit of the doubt.  The expectation is that he learns from it and curbs his tendencies.   Absent that, you have to expect this sort of outcome.  Because they can.

Just been released - 2 weeks for striking (intentional), low impact. Down to 1 week with an early plea

Casboult got a fine for rough conduct (careless), low impact.

Not sure how these muppets operate

Agree that it's stupid, and agree that he needs to be taught a lesson (and what better a week than when we have carlton???). But Geez the MRP has no idea, if they were consistent i wouldn't have a problem, but if consistency was tattooed on their foreheads they still wouldn't have any idea.

Varcoe runs through a guys jaw with his shoulder and gets the same. Varcoe could have knocked that guy into next week ffs

Will go for 2 but for an early plea will get one. He never seems to learn unfortunately, as he has done this before! 

Cmon Bernie!! 

Got it in one PF. People need to take their red and blue glasses off. If it happened to a Melbourne player, it would be described as a dog act. It was forearm to back of the head, behind play to an unsuspecting opponent. The fact that Membrey stayed down, didn't help Bernie's case. With  priors, he deserves what he got.

Collected him in the back of the head. It was really stupid. If your going to get suspended Bernie you should at least make them pay for it.

Accept the 1 match suspension and move on.

 

In other news... Varcoe nearly [censored] killed someone. 1 week.

It wasn't a forearm... it was the bicep and if you started taking into account players who act hurt in order to get a free then half the comp will get suspended

So Varcoe should get 3....

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
