Just heard an interview that Bernie said he doesn't want Goodwin to put him on Dusty, must be inspiring to the younger players and very Melbourne like.

    I cant blame him but keep the thoughts to himself, not publicly state it with such an important line in the sand game coming up, but thats Bernie, pretty dumb.

    Surely it was tongue in cheek, having a laugh.

    Humour...it was Bernie being Bernie.

    There are many on here jumping at shadows this week.

    I might have tune out for a while, this is not very productive.

    It was off the cuff and the sound bite was very laconical Bernie virtually saying that is the worst job in footy going round and complimenting Martin as a great player.

    Perhaps he should have said the bland company line that its an important game and whoever gets the job will have a tough time but I'm happy to do whatever to get the team up etc etc but that's not Bernie and that's what I like about him, he is an old style player.

    However we do have a tagger in the VFL who although possessing about a tenth of the skill of Martin and only about half the skill level of Bernie would give 110% of his 10% to be out there.

    I’m sure it was said in jest. What are you a Fox Sports reporter?? Pfft

     

    Posters are now looking for anything to have a go. It was clearly very tongue in cheek due to Dusty being Dusty. 

    Go out and get some fresh air.

    He said it on AFL 360 last night when the question was put to him. $hits and giggles, that’s all!

    Clearly tongue in cheek. You only read the headline, right?

    Yep.  Particularly someone like the OP who wants to dig at absolutely everything.  It's becoming a joke now.

    I heard the quote and Bernie was clearly having a laugh.  Anyone with half a brain cell could have worked that out.

    Even if he was serious, who could blame him...?

    He clearly wasnt.  Bernie just being a lad again.

    I reckon this is Bernie's best role for the club.  He tags really good but he is a terrible back man

    I didn’t see or hear the interview, it was certainly blown out of proportion on the radio earlier, apologies if it was said as a joke, I only heard the radio.

    Even if it was not tongue in cheek:

    a) Do players ever give away any information about match-ups more than a week before a match??  Easton Wood was interviewed 45 seconds before the match started against Sydney on the weekend and was asked about who would be playing on Franklyn.  He gave nothing away.  45 seconds later, it’s Easton Wood that lined up against Franklyn, much to everyone’s shock.

    b) Does Bernie Vince still tag???

    c) If our players are looking to AFL360 interviews for inspiration, then we’re in real trouble.

    Spot on, my memory isn’t that great at the moment but I believe the original question on 360 was “ Will you get the job on Dusty?”

    Bernie replied by saying he didn’t even know he was tagging Zorko until Goodwin told him at the airport.

    Shame on Bernie for making a joke. The players should be packed onto a bus, blind folded and made go listen to every single Mark Neeld post match press conference as preparation for the game on Tuesday night.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
