Jono Brown was a [censored] leader too then?

Are we seriously comparing Brown whacking into opposition players in contests to Bernie Vince sniping behind the play? Come on, DA. Worlds apart. 

Fact remains, he didn't need to do it. Needless. And he's cost himself a week. It probably won't hurt us, but who knows.

Nothing to do with contests, he got suspended for stupid [censored] just like Bernie. He admits it himself. 

Bernie getting suspended takes nothing away from his leadership ability. If it did then he wouldn't be in the leadership group.

Silly hit from Bernie. Unnecessary, pointless, and cheap. 1 week is fair and I wouldn't mind the leadership group pulling him aside and giving him a clip. 

Don't need to go far with it but Jonesy could just chat behind closed doors and just say, "c'mon mate, you need to be better than that".

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.

FMD.

It was reckless and stupid. Majority on here know that. 

Again copped what he deserved.

It's a demonland thing that he was imagined to get off.

It was clear as day he was going to cop a week. Going by both his poor record and the fact that he hit someone in the head, way off the ball. That was completely unnecessary.

I mean, what was his intention if it wasn't hitting the bloke?

Melb supporters can be delusional.

Certainly but I think the suspension had as much to do with bernies record as it did the action.

for me that action warrants a fine at worst if no other factors come into play. 

Bottom line is a leader should not be doing that rubbish. Now he misses a game for it.

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 he cops it back without complaint - remember how he ruffled Dangerfield's feathers and then Danger overstepped the mark.

Perhaps he overstepped the mark for a split second, but it reflected his competitive determination throughout the entire game. Look at his performance as a leader over the other 119 mins and 59 seconds of the game - his contribution was invaluable.

The red and blue glasses are on a bargain price now that we have come good. Unfortunately a few on here have cashed in.

Spot on mate. If Clayton Oliver did it he would have copped a fine. But its his record and stupidity thats cost him in the end.

I also thought it was ok, Ron B. 

Like other 'unsociable' footballers Bernie plays close to the edge of the rules.  Sometimes his antics get noticed, sometimes not. 

It is Bernie's job to ruffle opposition feathers.  Someone needs to do it.  Bernie is the best we have at it...until Lewis gets going... 

Edit...and of course Viney isn't too bad at the ruffling feathers caper, either:cool:

Watching the game I thought Bernie was sniping, perhaps more than usual. I think he overstepped the mark and he needs to tone it down a bit, not too much. 1 week probably appropriate. We have a few now that let the opposition know that we are around, love it.

Fresh as a daisy to go head to head with Dangerfield

Yes and when he hammered Dangerfield throughout THAT match, some of the ones on here criticising him, were applauding him for that effort.

But his performance as a leader over the entire 120minutes next week will be rather hard to spot as a result of his stupidity.

Reports now confirming Bernie has accepted the one match ban.

Have a look at the vision in the attached article - he's hit him with his armpit in the upper back. FMD. Don't want to lose him for two games though....

Most of us love Bernie, but he has developed a track record and that is not good. He needs to be much more careful otherwise the penalties will keep coming.

This all has a certain similarity to early last season. Vince cops a week for the exact same charge. But beyond the Bernie castigations vs. MRP outrage at the surface, there was a sense that his omission wasn't too crucial as we had put in a good all-round midfield performance the week before (North) and weren't certain how we could otherwise squeeze in a side-lined midfielder (Brayshaw). This time it's Tyson and I hope we learned our lesson last time.

Didn't we beat Collingwood the week after?

We did. Our midfield was firing just fine. No need to bring in an underdone Brayshaw.

Ah I see what you're saying....I think the difference is Dom has had 3 full games (1 JLT, 2 with Casey) so he should be ready to go

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
