Bernie Vince - MRP?

Recommended Posts

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.

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 got him was it was deemed intentional

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.

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.

Agree to disagree. 

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.

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.

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.

was actually given 2 weeks, but could accept 1 by not appealing.........a very quaint and convenient (for mrp) rule

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
