Player Watch #27: Miller Bergman - BFNAAK - Extends to end of 2025 - returns to the team against the Eagles

[tazaa]

I’m a believer.
He cracks in and can kick.

 

[koshari]

Miller can definitely play. It’s great we now have depth and good depth . He will get his chance and hopefully become a regular contributor in the seniors next yr .

I wouldn't say we have good depth,

Compared to a couple of yrs back it’s outstanding lol

Yes and no, practically speaking we had more depth because our core was so bad and journeyman could cover absences. Remember we began the year playing ccj and biggy and have really only added teakle and geordie (who is speculative and far from ready).

Obviousely no one can cover the likes of sheezel but relying on sleevo as depth is akin to having a spinning wheel. Taylor and pink then to a lesser extent greenwood are possibly the depth that doesnt expose us the most but it dropps off pretty quickly after them.

I don't think it unreasonable to suggest that Miller needs to make inroads next season.

Now behind Archer and Goater (if he’s 100% upon return.)

Needs to put some weight on. He’s still a stick.

 

[Liam Boy]

Back in!

 

[giantroo]

Welcome back Iceberg.

Bergs does have the current advantage of being being able to apply pressure to his ankle. So he has that.

Take your opportunity kid and have a red hot dip

Wonder if they’ll give him a crack on the wing. Has been playing there in recent weeks in the VFL. Would love to have him kicking the footy inside 50.

 

[shinboner magic]

Does seem to play better in the AFL than he does in VFL- hope he can finish off the season well

He has been most impressive working into space across HB/wing in the 1s, using his good IQ and vision to open up the play. So I say give him all the space he wants on the wing.

It would be great having both Bergs and Goat putting pressure on Tucker and Fish.

 

[Zebrah]

I am a big fan of what he brings to the team. Composed, great skills, hard despite the skinny frame.

Take your chance Miller!

 

[Disco Dew]

He’s back! Lets go!!!!

 

[tazaa]

Best 22 for mine.
He’d kill it under the roof with an extended crack at it.

 

[muttley45]

No doubt he can provide some polish to defensive transition by foot, an area seriously in need of improvement, go well Iceberg

 

[Psicosis]

Wing or Back Flank this week?

Don’t really mind, just get the ball in his hands.

 

[King Corey]

Great skills.
Great poise.
Built like a pube.
Looks like Napoleon Dynamite.

Well I’ve never heard this one before.

Miller was a bit of a positive out of the game for me. Didn't have a massive impact but you can just see the way he positions and reads the ball, always gets to the right spot and shuts down dangerous situations. With a bit more size and experience he'll be a serious player.

Has more composure in his pinkie toe than LMac.

Showed some real courage with a few back with the flight efforts today too.

Did look gasses a few times.

Disposal is over rated. Misses too many targets to be a good kick.

I’d love to hear the thought process of playing him over Kal Dawson and then only giving him 64% game time.

Could argue that selection alone cost us a win.
