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

[amaz199]

very intelligent and composed footballer

 

[Harris 10]

I still can’t figure out why he wasn’t straight back in after missing with illness.

 

[Ligma]

MY GUY

 

[Disco Dew]

Needs to play the rest of the year. DO NOT DROP

 

[Ashley B]

More than impressive, I believe we have found a good one here finally. He has something you can’t teach footy smarts.

 

[Works atErrol St]

Needs to play the rest of the year. DO NOT DROP

Agree. Hopefully Archer, Bonar & maybe Drury all develop well in defence too.

I noticed that wave off during the game. Sub 5 games directing traffic out there whilst sprinting full tilt, you love to see it. Hopefully this kid plays 200 games.

It’s all pretty much the anti-North.

1. Get the pill, give it off, then SPRINT to make yourself an option again. Not jog, not meander, not stand still…SPRINT.

2. He actually knows what the next link in the chain should be doing….he doesn’t get it and then just bomb it…

 

[Ischenko]

200 games a cert if he stays fit. Love him. Sammy Wright 2.0 but quicker.

 

[Ashley B]

I liken him to John Blakey . Strong for his size, dependable, good user and courageous too. Let’s hope he just gets even better from here.

 

[The acurate one]

Didn't one of our most astute posters have him as omitted for the Poort game?

Yeah, well we need to make that backline static again. Blokes start running and using their noggins we might put the three-peat in jeopardy.

Interesting comparisons but don't quite see them.

Sam Wright wasn't really an exceptional footy brain, he was a good overhead mark, clean user off both sides and nice n' fiesty.

Blakey's game was driven from his extreme conditioning and cattle dog level of toughness and endurance. His kicking was typically boot it long and hope one of the 15 key forwards grab it - which they usually did.

If I had to find a North comparison for Miller, it'd be Scott McMahon. Able to calculate options quicker than average and neatly get it to where it needs to go.

However as mentioned he strikes me as a Melbourne style of player. The hard running in the Ricky clip demonstrated that even more - their whole flippin' side runs like that to link up.

I’m excited by one piece of play that a Melbourne/Colingwood/Geelong supporter would be amazed NOT to see.

What it shows is we need to hand the keys to these blokes before they get “North Melbourned” by the D grade element.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

So, young Miller will be playing against his brother Miles this weekend. Or, he’s actually just going to be playing against a bloke with a really similar name that isn’t his brother at all.
I thought that they weren’t family, but my sisters are convinced that they are.
Have I missed the ‘we must sign his brother and bring him back to the club his dad played u19s for’ thread?

Good point but I'm not liking the lowering of the bar and comparing Bergman to Wright, since when did we stop comparing our youth with elite stars?

I must have missed the memo - shrugs shoulders

Yes they are brothers, their mother is Candice Bergman

Well, I’m going to compare him to 1978 Keithy Grieg off the HBF.

That's better, crikey. Now you're talking

Ah, good news that you bring there TAO. Candice must have brought a bit of light-hearted fun to make up for the regular ‘chess with Ingmar’ evenings.

 

[HBFlanker]

Like this bloke big time. With him and Goater i think we have a fair bit to work with in terms of wing/Half back moving forward.

Must play Bergman the rest of the year, and then drive him to KFC after every game to bulk him up. Hes a very skinny operator at the moment.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Another gem from Glen Luff’s 2021 Draft class haul.

Bergman, Goater, Curtis, Archer all in the space of 37 picks.

Get him back!

 

[Thndr]

One of the Bergman wont play this weekend ....... because they are the same person ......

 

[king of the road]

I still can’t figure out why he wasn’t straight back in after missing with illness.

Judging from the presser of Clarko - giving the old guys enough rope to spud it up and justify, without any doubt whatsoever, that they’ve had their chance and now it’s Miller time for Bergman and the young guys.
Hall, Turner etc have no grounds for complaints. They had chances a then some.

Miller can run Scott wasn’t the fastest going around but a good honest footballer
