Yes Bernie has accepted one week

Posted

I like that his hit is 'Intentional', yet Varcoe's hit is 'careless' (grading below intentional)... Just don't understand how that is possible.

Bernie Vince - MRP?  Most Reported Player?

the movement of his arm is a very odd action. i wonder if it got stuck behind the player or was being held, so he brought it up and over to free it, clipping the head with bicep. which to me would make it more accidental than intentional. wish there was more video angles and detail.

Wright went off for a concussion test afterwards so your claim of ''There was bugger all in it'' just looks silky.

He is a leader FFS and is prone to sniping every now and then.

Copped what he deserved and now we move. 

Initially I disagreed, but having learned of the concussion tests and Wright being off for a quarter I agree, 1 week.

Bernie was actually lucky, as in another incident he barrelled Armitage into the fence, after a point, when there was absolutely no need to touch him. That looked far worse to me.

Bernie needs to get smarter on the field and use controlled aggression and not go for cheap shots.

Your seemed pretty happy to dish it out out first and now your the one having a cry.

Jog on and stop derailing the thread stuie

While he has overstepped the mark and got suspended in this instance, I wonder whether he was trying to distract the St Kilda players from their game by some gamesmanship, the needling, little cheap shots to just annoy the saints and hopefully distract them.  They certainly seemed 'on' in the first quarter so maybe he took it upon himself to annoy the carp out of the saints in an effort to try and disturb their concentration...

Hes a sniper and has filled in Lynden Dunns spot as the fake tough guy.

Love Bernie more then anyone but your spot on, he need to smarten up his actions and just play football with a more controlled aggression.

We don't need him to be the "tough guy" anymore either we just need him to be consistent because his skills and vital to our chances when he plays. 

We have a team now that I don't think will be physically intimidated by anyone really

What a poor reading of character! Nothing fake about Bernie... a lair perhaps, but he is loved by coaches and team mates because he has legit cred for backing up his mouth when required.

Snipers are universally derided by opposition supporters and players alike. We all know who the snipers in the competition are, and Bernie is not one of them.

Everyone likes Bernie, and, even though he occasionally plays on the edge, he still commands the respect of opposition supporters and players.

That he is probably leading the club's B&F count after round one (judging by Goodwin's effusive praise of his performance following the game) serves to show that those here who feel the need to snipe at Bernie probably don't reflect the views of the MFC's coaching staff and player group towards him/his approach. They probably love it, which is why he is in the leadership group.

Goodwin said as much in his presser - he 'loved the 'leadership' shown by the team's 'leaders' in the game'.

He is starting to get a rap of being a sniper amongst opposition supporters. Saints supporter around me were yelling out what a sniping [censored] he was after his hit on Wright.

He is prone to do little strikes behind play since he has started with us. He needs to clean this act up.

Simon Goodwin would not have been happy one bit with Vince missing a week for stupidity. Goodwin would have onky seen the incident after his press conference.

Agree to disagree.

I guess there had to be one thread where we all had to get chippy with each other after a win.

We can't bag others for the 'red and blue' glasses, either.  We all wear them when it suits us.

So much typical bullshlt here.

Had there been GENUINE concern , as i understand it it, Wright should NOT have retaken the field. 

That he DID is all thd MRP needed to hand a fine at most.

Some of you must be getting as soft in ths head as the Saints. 

Can just imagine Richos comnents ' stop acting the goat and play footy '

MRP have ir in for Bernie.

Saints supporters behind me wanted to quote "kill Jesse hogan" when I asked why " he is the dirtiest player behind play" go figure!!! Couldn't give two hoots about opposition supporters opinions.....it is generally the "tall poppy" syndrome.  Bernie was never mentioned once ..even after his tap.

Exactly.

It's reached a conclusion.

Why are people still discussing it?

Because the thread is still active.

Very minimal contact. shouldnt be wiped out for that. that's a free kick, maybe a fine but nothing more. I was shocked when I heard he had been given a week for that.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
