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

[Arthur Cloke]

Great news. I really hope he can be that half back accumulator we've been crying out for because his decision making and kicking are top class. Left me gobsmacked more than a few times on the weekend.

There’s nothing better than being gobsmacked. I reckon disguise the limit with Birdman (which is what me and my 37 mates call him).

 

[XU1-ROO]

Going well.

 

[jaspers_barber]

I’ll admit for me, drafting this guy was a real head scratcher. But gee he’s been terrific this year! And you can tell he’s loving every minute!

 

[king of the road]

Was really good in general and impressive all round. Composed, good user, good presence for his size.

Missed a tackle at the end of the first that led to a goal (was probably fatigued) though which hurt us - but aside from that, was really good.

Yep. Has the potential to be a really important player in a side that just may go on to bigger and better things as they mature together. The Clarkson message that "this is their team now" is massive in the way it plases the onus onto the younger members of the group, but also, how it places the outcomes like last night's win onto them as well so that they can grow in confidence as a unit.

He, Goater and Sheezel off half back has already made us a significantly better team, than when we had the MacMillan, Atley, Hall types we have settled for in the past.

Yes he really does think about what he is trying to relay in his messages to the media. Also pointed out even though Will was not in last night that he is an important part of our future.

 

[SheezNuts]

This guy and the goat are going to be instrumental for us for the next 10-15 years..

Absolute class off HB.

massive BFNAAKs too. You can see the passion he, Goat and LMac have for the club, it's so good

 

[Scottroo]

Doesn’t miss a target under pressure

 

[The Butcher]

As a north fan he should be aware of the critisisms we had of turnstiles whatshisname.. and he should, and im sure is, working on not being the second coming. Looking fwd to witnessing the progress in this defensive aspect of his game. In a BFNAAK we trust (just a shame Lmac never learnt to spend less tickets winding up to kick it).

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I am really excited about a lot of our young players: Phillips, Goater, Powell, Curtis, Comben...but this guy just has "it" in spades. Spatial awareness, footysmarts, composure, skills, courage, agility. With 10 more kilos and 50 more games, he could be anything.

 

[Kanga Glory]

I am nicely surprised by how good miller is. I thought it would take him this year to build his game and maybe play a game or two. Brilliant and good on him

 

[King Corey]

He's a Melbourne style of player - reminds me of Trent Rivers

as an example. We don't often draft these types of guys.

This kid needs some more love.

The defensive work is way better than I anticipated given his size and his skills are awesome. 22 out of his 23 disposals this year have been effective.

Yeah he sure does. He was great. Its easy to see why he was picked so early last year.

Its hard to seperate him and Goater, honestly. If he had Goater's build he'd have gone 15 or 20 spots higher.

 

[ferball]

There's gonna be a new race.

Kids are gonna start it up.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Wasn’t quite as good this week, but we need to pump games into him and Goater.

If Goater had MB’s footysmarts, composure and foot skills he would have been a top 5 pick.

 

[Liam Boy]

Would be fine with him coming out for Archer or Perez, good to have competition for spots and pressure to perform. He'll get games.

 

[amaz199]

Don't be sick again pls.

 

[Jasemon]

Very surprised this thread hasn't been bumped after the game yesterday.
Thought Miller was one of our best and continues to show great signs with every game.
For the most part he presents as a smart player who can hit a target by foot and handles pressure when it comes.
I do think he's a big part of our future.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Just needs some size

Makes good strong defensive plays as well. His body is only a year or two away from being able to catch up with his nous and courageous and smart decision making. He is a keeper.

I love him. Composed.
