Bernie Vince - MRP?

That's the way Bernie plays, agree with it or not, he won't change. He plays it hard and goes out side the lines but he lets the opposition know he's around.

    The panelists agreed that it appeared to be insufficient force, I missed the clip they played of the incident so I can't comment on it.

    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

    Like muppets, it seems

    He does play hard, but that particular "incident" was neither hard nor outside the lines.   It was a bicep to the back of the neck....would hardly draw a free for high contact, but the MRP just seem to continue to find new ways of proving their inconsistency and incompetence.  

    And I agree that he does need to be very careful - he is being scrutinised.

    The club must challenge this. We wont be pushed around.

    Absolutely shameful decision

    Shameful decision on Bernies behalf yes.

    Hope the club does not challange one bit.

    Are you saying he should have got more?

    I keep seeing the vision of him giving Membrey a love tap in the back of the head with his bicep but in the reports it says the suspension is for hitting Webster, were there two incidents?

    There were a few incidents on Saturday where he goes close (and over) the line. He was very lucky last year as they viewed vision but he wasn't cited. They're not accidental. He will hurt you if he can. Not injure but hurt. Make them earn it. I love it. I reckon he was fantastic on Saturday. He's genuine tough, and he's ours. 

    And I'm sad he's missing but I wouldn't change him. He's great.

    Not a leader's bootlace, Bernie. Stupid again. Why do it? You're not being tough.

    Silver lining: Bernie will come into the side round 3 after some rest.

    His previous record cost him here. There was nothing in it, but once your card is marked there isn't anything you can do about it.

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

    Pull your head in Bernie!

    mmmm, be careful who you say that to around here...some folks don't take kindly to that talk... effing irresponsible of him.

    Is there the possibility that Vince is being instructed to go out and upset a few opposition players? Even at the risk of an occasional suspension

    Jono Brown was a [censored] leader too then?

    Got what it should have.  Silly from Bernie, but that's who he is.  Don't want him to change.  Take the good with the bad.  

    Off the ball, high and intentional.  Don't really care about "impact", as it's not really a good look.  

    I always remembered the Hawks during their reign pushing the boundaries.  I think this is one of those cases.  Just simply that Bernie went a little too far.  Take the medicine, move on.

    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.

    I'm a little annoyed that Varcoe's premeditated full-speed sniper charge that cleaned up an unaware opponent got the same as Vince's idiot flappy-arm moment.

    Did somebody say muppets?

    It isn't Membrey. I thought it was at first too because of the arm tatts, but it is actually Wright.

    So it seems the 'bicep' incident is the one...

    Ah ok now I know why I'm confused, was getting Wright mixed up with Webbster

    Why, oh great wise one? What great teachings have you got for us poor, simple weak minded fools.

    The only thing I could possibly learn from your post is that you think your better than others.

    When you over react like Wright did, of course they're going to see if he was not concussed.

     

    Did he return to the field? Yes. Concussed? No.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
