Bernie Vince’s civil conversation with a friend, following a harrowing after the siren loss, is proof “it didn’t hurt to the core” according to football authority Dermott Brereton.
Speaking to 800.85 Sport FM, “Dermie” believed Vince, and others, should “get off (the ground) and socialise somewhere else”.
Brereton, a renowned party boy, famous for his blonde perm and belting guys, famously never spoke to friends out on the ground, offering that they come converse with him later “over a dozen jars” at the Tunnel.
“Bernie, if you want to speak to Paddy, ride your motorbike through the doors of whichever nightclub is handing out the drink cards, line up a tray of shots, and chat until four AM… then ride home, like I used to.”
Despite being at the club for only a handful of seasons, Vince’s smile is “the sole reason” Melbourne haven’t won a flag for fifty four years, five time day and night premiership player Brereton added.
“When we used to lose, we made happy guys like Tucky and Dippa frown until lunch time the following Thursday, so I think Simon Goodwin should look implementing something similar.”
