Too many bodies in midfield, unfortunately. Bern was good in defence against St Kilda anyway. We need that long 'out' option now that Dunn is playing for Collingwood vfl.

That tackle he made on Hawkins as he was running into an open goal in the third was impressive..

I didn't think his game was that poor anyway? Didn't get a lot of it but his defensive work was good and his kick outs were solid.

Had his foot stomped on in the first quarter and had to leave the field repeatedly because his sock kept filling up with blood, then went straight to get surgery and have his toenail removed postmatch. Harder to fault him considering

Apparently the pain from having a toenail removed is shocking. Would be a real chance to miss this week.

To be fair, it's well established that coming to Melbourne is career-killing. He did well to stave it off for a season.

How can you blame Goodwin? he's played out of position because he's to slow to compete in the midfield now ffs. He's getting old, happens to everyone

That makes no sense.
He's never been a quick player, same speed as he was when he won his BNF. Goodwins trying his best to inject kicking into the back half but I just don't think Bernie is the right man

Vince is to slow to play midfield, but to talented to leave out of the side. Hence why he plays in defence because he reads the ball well. Was playing behind the footy last year under Roosy.
I love bernie too but theres no way he could follow Dangerfield around like he did in his B&F year again

This I kind of agree with, and I'm a Bernie fan. But I think that is exactly why Goodwin keeps sending him there - because there aren't enough guys back there who kick well. Bernie has done okay there in a few games, and had some hilarious turnovers in others, but I think the real issue is that he might be better utilised elsewhere.
I had to have both my big toe nails removed when i was 16 due to ingrown nails. I dont wish the pain upon anyone.
I had my big toe nail pulled with a pair of pliers after a race.
The blood was epic....

I lost my big toe nail after a lengthy innings in a comeback cricket game wearing spikes too small for me.

I dropped a dumbbell on my toe years ago and the pain from it swelling up was terrible. I drilled a hole in the nail with a drill bit and blood squirted up Like a fountain. Instant relief! But I lost the nail about a week later.

give us details. Length of innings. Score. Your age at the time. Did you lose 5kgs over the course of the knock?

No. But I am black from the waist down.
You should probably see a doctor about that

Yay
Bernie is fine - the only issue I have about him in defence is his attempts to pinpoint the ball coming out of the 50 at impossible targets.
He defends well, is good in the air for his height and is a good kick rebounding.
He's also 31, with our young midfield there is no point playing him there over Stretch, Oliver, Trac, etc

I don't want him in front of any kids necessarily. But him playing in the midfield helps us win more games that if Brayshaw does for example.
