Presented my wife's new car too her when AHG had a members new car deal on. A ripping bloke who signed a training jumper, now framed with photos which was also given to us by the dealer. Good memories. Thanks Bernie.

One of my favourite ever Demons. I love Bernie.

My 5 year old son will be devastated. He loves Bernie too. Not quite sure how I'm going to break this news to him.

 

Also one of my favourites. One of the nicest blokes I have met at the club.

 Not sure how I am going to break the news to my 20 something year old daughter either - she will be shattered. Glad he got his 100 games in. Looking forward to many Bernie Juniors playing for the Dees in years to come.

Can only agree with what everyone has said. Thanks BV.

 

Bernie showed the club it's possible to be yourself while knowing when it's time to put your feet up.

For a while, some of us on here thought that we needed to be a team of robots to reach the promised land (I admittedly was among their ranks). He showed you could enjoy a beer every now and then (so long as it didn't disturb your preparation or team planning) but still be a cut throat competitor on the field.

If we do win the flag, I hope he is on the ground and not looking on from the stands. Last time I heard of him winning a premiership with a team, he got close to stripping down to his birthday suit. ;)


What chance Bernie comes in for the grannie should we make it? Almost none, I know…but I want to see that photo of Lewis holding up the 5 fingers, with Jones, Viney, Gawn, Clarry, and Bernie in the foreground holding up the 1.

Wasn’t here at our lowest ebb and won’t be here when we peak, but was here to help us build the bridge in between, every step of the way.

Roos goes out of his way to give credit to Vince for his role in turning the ship around.

I’ve loved his time here, particularly his tough brand, long kicking and high standards. I’m sad he has to go without playing any finals for the MFC, but the time is clearly right. I’m thrilled he could limp over the 100 game mark - life membership is a fitting capstone to his time here.

All the best Bernie.

Love Bernie... he is so easy to love! I agree with all the great things that Demonlanders have expressed above. I hope we can keep him at the club for some time yet. He is such a positive influence! I wish him the best, wherever life takes him from here. Thank you Bernie for all the belief you restored, for all the fun you shared and for representing our Club with distinction! 

 

Congratulations Bernie on a wonderful career. You have been all class since walking through the door five years ago, and I hope you get a chance to finish on a high note either in the AFL or VFL.

Hopefully you stay connected to the MFC, but best wishes for the future either way.

Onya Bernie,   You will always be linked with Roosy, PJ and the rest of the crew that selflessly came to this club when it was at rock bottom to help turn it around and make it something great again, and you succeeded. 

TO BERNIE!


Love Bern. Not too many blokes win B&Fs at two clubs.

Loved his pointy elbows even though they meant his unsociable brand was always on the borderline of a suspension.

Met him at the Interstate supporters function last year (he was guest speaker because he was suspended) and got a selfie with him, Robbo and my good wife. I suggested to her at the time that I'd turn for Bern. Nothing's changed.

Only one of 6 people in history to have won a B&F at two VFL/AFL clubs apparently, according to the article on MFC website.

Bernie was running laps at training this morning so he might still think he is a chance! 

Class act Bernie... showed the young Dees you could be committed and competitive but still have fun...Bernie’s in my GF team

Well done Bernie you are a champion person . My Family and l are proud of what you have achieved in your career and blessed to have you as part of our great club.To us you are a Demon for life. Oh! and our cat Bernie say well done to.


As others have said came to us when finals was nothing but a pipedream.

Admired him at the Crows, loved him for us reached the magical ton as a Dee and a fairytale ending would be great for his efforts but whatever the outcome Bernie thanks for your efforts 

100 + games and B & F at 2 clubs fantastic career. Lets hope a flag at either Fees or Casey is your last footballing memory

Would have loved to see him play a final in red & blue. Hope he feels he's accomplished what he set out to achieve when he decided to join us. He & Crossy in particular have been immense when it came to turning the club around on field. So glad he got to play his 100th game for us. Thanks Bernie

Will always love Bernie.  Someone uploaded this years back but I've always loved it and, to me, sums up how quickly he fell in love with the club.

 

The classic Dangerfield shot by a sniper flop (at 30 second mark).

Will never forget the game against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval when he smashed Dangerfield into submission. Was a monumental win for the club, a turning point almost.

Also his shirt front on Dale Thomas against Carlton this season was beautiful.

All the best Bernie, you will be missed.

This was one of the great statement games by any MFC player IMO and a line in the sand moment for Bernie and the club that we were no longer just going to sit back and allow players/teams to roll  us in an easy fashion.

A great replacement for Sylvia (who pulled this off at the club in 2013...Todd??)  and couldn't have been a bigger contrast in selfish v selfless in the way these two went about it.

Paul Roos must have been well pleased with this acquisition and the response he was able to garner.

Although this year saw the game move past him a tad (as it does to every athlete at some point) you will be sorely missed mate.

Let's hope you get one more shot at finals should the cards fall your way.  

Superb job both on and off the field.

Take a bow Bernie ??????

 

very sad that you won't be able to reap the fruits of your labour. 

came to us in our darkest era and was an integral part in pulling us out of the rubble. 

Thank you for everything Bernie, you will be missed.


A sad loss. Been an important player for the club. Real shame he won't get to be a part of september action for us.

Bless your cotton socks Bernie, you absolute legend!

Thank you for picking us, when picking us was a hard choice. Thank you for giving it your all, for your leadership and guidance, for your dedication and hard work, and for being selfless in your pursuit to make us a better club. Also thank you for all the times you destroyed Dangerfield.

 

Does he wear socks Jaded.  maybe bed socks ???

"if you are the one"

 

I wonder?  if any of our Women "Players",  would like a child ?  Yet.

It was 6 players that have won a B&F at two VFL/AFL clubs apparently and played 100 games at each club.

He has been great for us and I agree that the time is right to finish up. Played some absolutely amazing games but unfortunately you could see that despite giving it his all, his body isn't what it used to be.

 

The AFL's most handsome footballer.....ever!

Real honey

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
