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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
