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

[Caracas]

Very happy for Miller. Also, I’m relieved. I was beginning to believe I knew nothing about the game. He was getting such a lukewarm reception around here.

All reports suggest he has what others don’t .
The kid can play

Skill? Poise? Fitness?

I don't watch much pre-season games but he has done some serious gym work from what I have seen.

Good call for mine. He looks very good, composed. Potentially a touch earlier than planned with Thomas not in contention but I think he's ready for games.

Gotta get him games and make sure he excels, so we can lure his brother away from the Tarpies in the near future too…

 

[Shinboner1]

I just don't see it but I'm glad clarko does.

 

[Ligma]

This kid is a jet, got through his rehab and has worked extremely hard to get selected.

His got mean wheels and can hit his targets.

He has a lot of traits, but so far accumulation has been his concern throughout his few glimpses at senior level.

He is a good kick, but is he damaging enough to play the unaccountable rebounding Aaron Hall

role? Until he shows that he can get the ball 20+ times a game the answer will be no.

Longer term I think he'd either need to put on the strength to man 5th or 6th forwards and be our heir apparent to Sam Wright, or increase his running capacity and look to be our second wing once Shiels hangs up the boots for the second time.

He needs more seasoning in the VFL, but I don't disagree with the decision to have him in ahead of Perez. Thomas and Hall being out puts us in a tough position.

Yes, yes and yes. Also glad to hear he has put on some weight.

He seems to me to be the archetypal modern day footballer

At that size accumulation should be a strength

Did you get to go to any of the pre-season games? I didn’t notice any change unfortunately. If there was it was super minimal. Might have to do more with his genetics

 

[tiltraise]

Interesting selection.

Hope he goes well we could certainly do with someone nailing that distributing defender role.

Not Greek so no. NTTAWWT.

 

[Caracas]

Goater, Miller and Stevo + Powell (& Cunners, of course) - hopefully, they will generate some much-missed quality delivery for Larkey and Comben. Wouldn’t that be a bonus?

Start getting excited…

5. He's a true attacking defender

The rebounding defender is a prominent part of today's game, but Bergman takes the term 'attacking defender' to a whole new level. Bergman was given the responsibility of kicking out for the Dandenong Stingrays this season, but remarkably, also averaged one goal per game. "I just like to try and open up the game from half-back, but also work forward. I love hitting the scoreboard," Bergman told SEN. "Whatever will help the team, if that's pushing forward, hitting the scoreboard and working back again, that's what I'll do."

Ligs are you driving this bandwagon? We played him when he was a twig and he snapped in two. Now he bobs up again. Clearly big wraps within.

Mate I’m glad you brought this up - I remember going to a pre season training the year he got drafted and I was really impressed with his speed and disposal!! Always been on the bandwagon!

Maybe Bergman can be named Iceman.

The Top Gun Iceman was named after Deniz, Iceman was his callsign when he was a US Navy pilot. The film production people were on the base preparing for the movie shoot and picked up on his callsign and used it for the movie character.

Too skinny, they said - pffftt. Let them keep trying to run through Miller.
