Onya Bern!

Thanks for playing for MFC. Cant have been much fun for the majority of your time with us. Love the way you put in.

If nothing else, you got your MCC membership !!!

Thanks matey.

 

Would be sad if Bernard has played his last game for us. 

I am suprised he hasn’t been used up forward in bursts. 

He is a great kick for goal

 

He's apparently done his shoulder in the VFL today. I'm assuming he won't go around again next year. Horrible way to end your career being dropped and then getting injured to rub salt into the wound.

I'm thankful that Bernie chose to come to us and played some really good footy in the red and blue. He's a likeable bloke and deserves success.

We named our cat Bernie and he said that there are over 100 cats named Bernie in Adelaide.  Thanks for being part of our Great club. You have won a Best and Fairest and now you play your 100th game. Hope you get to play finals. However you never know what else might be around the corner as well. 

Lets hope there's not only 100 cats named Bernie, over in Adelaide... but 100 young Bernie's out and about, over Crow town,,,  and around yonder.

_ should be able to pluck one or two, from a list like that.  ☺️

No, theres not much left.

Some spud named Alex Sexton made him look silly last week and turned him inside out far too easily.

If we're to go deep in Finals, Bernie in my opinion will get found put for his pace down back. His skills have rapidly dropped down and just picks up easy touches from kicking put.

Bernie in my eyes will go down as a MFC great. Came to the club at ots lowest point and has provided leadership and lockeroom maturity.

Somehow, I just can't imagine this. I think of him as perennially immature, a Peter Pan character. Always smiling and seemingly having fun. Yet clearly understands the hard work and effort necessary to be a successful footballer.

I tried to talk my niece in naming her unborn child Bernie. She is a Dees supporter and I remember we sat down and went through the list. She picked out a few names like Jake, Oliver, Jesse and Jordan but unfortunately she had a girl.

She is pregnant again so I am sure we will go through the same process again with the footy record. 

Jesse and Jordan would have still worked, for the girl child.

Lets hope to balance the books. ?

One of the very good recruits from our terrible decade. He given us way more than I thought was possible.

Thanks Bernie.

 

I’m gutted if this is true. One guy who deserved to at least be in the mix for this part of the journey

If this is it thank you so much Bernie we’ll never forget your time at MFC. You’re just as part of this club as some of our greats. 


Bernie is a ripper.

He embraced the club when we desperately needed it - he could have played out his years here, earning good money and doing just enough.  He did the opposite and his first two years with the club were excellent.  Old father time might have caught up to him a little, but he took that in his stride and never made a fuss when he was dropped.  He just got on with business and continued to do what he could for the club.

If it's his last game then it's a damn shame, but I'll be forever thankful and respectful for his contributions to the club.

Ironic that he plays his 100th, gets dropped next week and suffers a career threatening injury. I sincerely hope he is still around the club nexxt year even if it is only at Casey.

Thank you Bernie for your service

 

Sad to hear for this to happen in his now dinal game, love Bernies contribution to the club.

Hows this year been his 2nd best year when hes already been dropped once, and showing signs of slowing down?

2014 to last year have been some of his most consistent years of footy he's had over his football career.

In my opinion hes probably gone a year too long, but we've gotten 100 consistent games off him and thats all we've asked.

ridiculous he was dropped to begin with, that he was playing at Casey anyway is inexcusable.

Droppubg him was the right decision. 

Bernie when you first came to the us l hoped that Roos was doing  right by recruiting you to our club.You see we were going through hard and dark times and couldn't see the reason. I was so wrong as you proved to us all that not only you had the goods to play some fantastic footy which was exciting to watch but you are one of the leaders that gave the team a new lease of life and belief over the 5 years that you have been here.

We are in a better place because of it. I hope you stick around next year  because to most , you are a Demon for life.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
