bergman is like rivers but a far, far superior kick

we are just one of a myriad of melbourne-based teams 'keeping tabs' on him according to tombstone; aints have been in the market for a long time

    Bergman’s going at 67% kicking efficiency this year compared to Trent’s 72%, Port fans will tell you he loves a turnover actually

    You need to add a smiling emoji to signify you are joking.

    If your actually serious then you deserve a lifetime ban.

    Takes the riskier kick and gets more of it

    Raw #s only tell part of the story

    I’d like him at the Dees but think it’s unlikely

    Isnt top flight by any stretch, but would be in the upper echelon of the next rung down. I like his speed and athletic ability. In fact would be a close substitute for Pig.

    Bergman in allows us to move Lindsay on to the wing permanently without losing pace and ball use from the back.

    Alternatively, it allows us to replace Salo. Or push Rivers into midfield permanently.

    More kickers with pace who can defend back there the better.

    Upgrade on Salo..didn’t think about that. Good pick up.

    The stats don't agree, Bergman is rated in the top 20 worst kicks in the comp according to champion data. The champion data system all takes into consideration the level of risk, pressure etc.

    Can we please target anyone who is a half decent KPF. We have zero at present. I don't care who we trade with or how much they cost.

    I think Petty, Turner and JVR are the beginnings going forward. All have shown significant promise at times. It’s not unusual for a tall’s development to be slower than a mids. I’d certainly keep looking to add further tall players but I’m taking mid/forwards as first up. If we add Jackson I fear we’ll need a Pickett replacement.

    I disagree, your three will not take us to a GF. Turner is a fairly good player. Petty struggles against good sides and I don't rate JVR, his best play is as a back up ruckman.

    Still call Schwarta Theo instead of the Ox 😆

    He was high up on our list in his draft year. Can play

    Melbourne has thrown its hat in the ring for out-of-contract Port Adelaide defender Miles Bergman, who is weighing up a move back to Victoria.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    Defender | 23-years-old | 93 games

    The Saints, Bulldogs and Demons are expected to long-term make offers that could turn his head.

    Yep, JT was a big fan of Bergman's in his draft year wasn't he?

    Good get. Vesatile HBer and replacement for Salem.

    Good get yes, so long as we still have the $$ to spend on some decent forwards (no matter the size) who can kick goals, we are stuffed up there

  • Quote

    The amount of complaints about having Ben brown and Josh Schache on the list for too long was hard on the ears. IMO a list doesn’t need 6+ key forwards and we currently have

    Petty*

    Turner*

    JVR

    Jefferson

    Fullarton

    Johnson

    Kentfield*

    With Verrall as a ruck/fwd type on the list too. I get that petty and turner are swing types and kentfield is being trialed as a chb, but would rather not see any more brought on to the list until we decide someone is out first.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
