Yep. Much better defensively and only marginally weaker on the offence.
Considering the rest of our HBFers his defensive ability is so much more valuable
I'm a big Berg fan but Butters won the coaches medal last year.
Agree with much better defensively but Houston is much better offensively. Houston will be All Australian for a second year in a row and top 5 in Champion Data rankings AFL wide. Berg has had a good 6 weeks or so. But his name will not even be mentioned for All Aus squad. Berg has found his role as 3rd defender. Still young but will need to improve his ground balls and kicking to play midfield/wing.

Career best form.
Houston is rated the best kick in the comp, Bergman is better over head and tackles better, both are wonderfull players
Last 5 games, one of the top players in the comp for 1v1 wins.

Unless your Port 2004 and all the coaches bounce, Josh Carr leaves, Schofield flees… I am sure someone else left.

Bearing in mind that my knowledge and understanding of the finer points of football probably pale into insignificance next to most on here - but I wondered if the things that Miles talked about that they had been particularly working on, mostly the groundball work, would be mostly down to the line coach to instigate. Plus he talked about the emphasis on 'shape' and I wondered if that was the sort of thing that Selwood was referring to when he said they didn't know what each other was doing.
Lock it in
Free agent? I thought free agents were only after 7 years at a club. Miles was recruited in 2019And then we lose him for nothing as a free agent after that?((

Put a massive deal in front of him, if he doesn’t sign move him on.

Ahhhhh yes the famed Sam Landsberger (Never heard of him) said it so clearly it's already a done deal. Future First and Third in 2026 incoming.
Can't wait to trade that for Kozzie (He's homesick)
I listened to his podcast, and it didn't sound overly reassuring but also not too alarming at the same time. I think it genuinely is a contract-by-contract proposition for Miles, unfortunately.
If Houston can decide to go back to Victoria to follow his girlfriend, while in contract, then it's quite possible that others will follow suit. Bergman and Butters are the other two that concern me the most.
The key is that we maximise the output of the list that we currently have (i.e., win a premiership this year please), and then if we can't hold onto players, we drive very hard to get the best returns possible on trades. None of this sympathetic bullshit about letting players go for unders return.
