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 !!

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?

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

 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!

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
