    I'm a glass half full kind of guy so I say well done Bernie for staying out of trouble until round 17.

    We're deemed a soft target. Those not believing that are imho, in denial.

    We do a lot right. We've come a long way but whilst the players ,some, have a bit of mongrel, the club doesn't. WE ... DON'T....SAY.....BOO !!

    On Bernie: the club should tape his bloody elbows to his waist and make him run around like a T-rex at training all week.

    Potentially between Vince and another player, and both play for the MFC.

    How did Zak Jones get off for elbowing Hannan?

    Not enough force in the Betts incident. But if its a Melbourne player....

    Did we use that useless beak Findlay again?

    Yes ... A bloke who seemingly chose the welfare ( rep ) of his beloved arzhole club over the real welfare of his son.

    A stack of holding the man posts when Watson is probably correct. Vince is very reckless and his aggressive brain fades are more predictable than anyone in our team

  • Quote

     It was just dumb to raise an elbow like that. No need for it and because of his stupid record he ended up missing another week.

    Frankly I'm sick of losing players to suspension. It seems to be happening weekly. He will miss 2 vital games for us in Port and Nth.

    Hope the Club appeal because the MRP are corrupt but then play Bernie at Casey for being a numnut.

    Maybe if we didn't have so many injuries...

    Demonland cracks me up. People ranting about Bernie being past it and no good, yet in the same breath crying and whinging about him being suspended.

    Bigger things in this world to worry about people, move on!

  • Quote

    I think if we weren't so injury depleted people wouldn't be whinging so much. 

    The fact that we won't have him for the next two crucial games as an option to tag where he has been pretty successful this season is a real loss.

    Regardless, I find it very amusing that people care so much about what is essentially a trivial issue compared to the injury list.

    Bernie's 'hit' on Eddie was a mere elbow brush to let the little fella know he was around. I've looked at the replay several times from all (limited) angles available. There is no conclusive evidence that he hit Eddie's jaw. It looks like a slide up the neck which was enhanced by Eddie's (over)reaction and facial expression. Bernie got stitched up by the MRP because of the perception that he is a naughty boy. Martin is the naughty boy but he was deemed to be reacting to an aggressive opponent. Criticism of Bernie here is short sighted. He used far more rugged tactics on Dangerfield a little while ago and was applauded by all for the great shut down job he performed. Perception is everything in the fake news media!

    How does Bernie deserve a week?

    selwood gets off

    cotchin gets off

    zak jones gets off

    schofield gets off

     

    bernie guilty in both incidents!

    this is the biggest load of BS

    Even though we all admit his stupidity, when you compare it to other decisions like Schofield insufficient force, Selwood a dirty elbow to the back of the head yet also insufficient force and Thompson forearm to the face of Danger 1 week, you are left with the inescapable feeling that something is very wrong. 

    I don't think we have had anyone get off this year and have been penalised heavily. 

    If there is no increase in penalty I would challenge, as while stupid to throw out the elbow, there was no real impact or force and that seems to be the MRP measure.  

    I am not going the "woe is me " line, but rather seeking consistency, where at the moment there is none.

    Yep, the first incident was stupid but harmless. Perhaps it should've been fine territory.

    The second incident should've been play on. Report was ridiculous.

    That he got 2 weeks is red hot. That many of you are patronising/bagging Bernie is in my opinion worse. He shut down Sloan super effectively on the night and is a required player and loyal servant for this club.

    Can't believe some of the commentary here. It's unfortunate to say the least.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
