Player Watch Pick #14 (2019) - Miles Bergman

[Junior11]

Where do you see him playing in 2020? Wing, Half Forward?

Where do you see him playing in 2020? Wing, Half Forward?

We've got a fair few forward flankers and probably not enough wingers.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Come on everyone. Miles needs some more love.

 

[Granny Duurs is Lovely]

Bergman is the perfect replacement for Rozee in the forward line allowing him to play midfield.

Super strong aerially for a fast guy, and a huge kick making him dangerous at half forward since he won't have to hit up a target inside 50. Can see him playing next year.

 

[PJ Power]

We've got a fair few forward flankers and probably not enough wingers.

I think we’re good for the wings. Having mobile, strong, medium-tall half forwards who mark strongly and kick long is not a bad strategy, especially if one of these two can move into the midfield.

Big tank, strong mark overhead, can play anywhere. It sounds like a long term Ebert replacement.

 

[I Dont Care]

Seems a nice kick for goal. Hopefully that won't get coached out of him

 

[Janus]

Who the hell are you?

You know. You all know exactly who I am. Say my name.

Do what? I don't... I don't have a damn clue who the hell you are.

Yeah, you do. I'm the doctor. I'm the man Port picked over Kemp.

Bullshit. Carlton got Kemp with Pick 10.

Are you sure? That's right. Now, say my name.

Bergman.

You're goddamn right.

 

[RossFC]

McDonalds sponsorship on the way.

That was quick.

 

[Macca19]

He's a good contested mark and a very good kick, so thats a big tick.

 

[ClickBOOM1870]

I really like this pick.

In addition to all of the good qualities listed in his bio he actually seems like someone of exceptional character.

Better people make better teams, and choosing high quality talent who also possess high quality character and personal leadership skills is pretty much straight from every blueprint for success ever.

I feel like our list management team is rebuilding our culture as much as we are the raw talent on our list.

Welcome Miles!

Has abit of rozee about him I reckon

 

[Ports1870]

I posted a few days ago that pick flanker types isn’t a bad idea as they can slot into the roles Rozee and Butters played while they can push for more midfield minutes. Would’ve preferred Kemp but don’t hate this.

 

[Power Raid]

big, strong and can take a grab

looks like we will see him in 2020

 

[missionpossible]

We have our athlete (white boy can jump) who can catch the ball.

Let him run the grand final sprint.

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

I am pretty excited about this kid. Seems to be able to do everything! I love players who can win the ball in the air, AND he seems to have good pace.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Welcome Ingrid.

 

[Leaveit2charlie]

Soundness a possible concern?
Seriously strong boot and pace maybe getting ahead of himself physically? Hopefully a solid well managed preseason gets him games early.

 

[It Just Is]

Great physique. He’ll be built like a tank in 18 months time.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Hope he goes well but anybody at all concerned this bloke has done stress fractures in both feet? I guess we got Polly right, but that feels scary for 12th pick.

I thought he had shin splints

 

[Port85]

Contested mark opportunities abound with our shit i50 entries so that skill is a plus.

Also if he can convert well from distance (40m+) that will help our scoring efficiency.

 

[Steve Dore]

Welcome Ingrid.

Of all the footy clubs in all the towns in all of Australia, he's drafted to mine. Play it, Sam. Play Never Tear Us Apart.
