News NWM stays at Saints (Will Faulkner wrong about being crows bound)

[Rash]

looks like the saints just revolve around nasiah, they feed him the ball at every opportunity, even when he is under pressure. even moe than pies feeding it to daicos when he used to play half back.

He had like 7 kicks straight to the opposition, would fit in well.

Tried to be too cute.
He's still not the total package.
Bergman still better ATM but Nas's potent ceiling is higher.
That's why Miles is a currently better footballer, and why we should not be bent over by any club.

two different players. Bergs has a high ceiling with midfield i reckon plus more versatile where as NWM has the ceiling of an Andrew McLeod type player and beyond if he commits and just pushes himself instead of the slower cute stuff.

and it would be ideal keeping bergs and getting nwm. if that happens and Butters stays on with a fit firing team next season that's easily top 4 if not flag contention.

yes Marshall has been out and the head knocks but if forward line had him, Georgiades and Lukosius plus the smalls etc that's a good line up.

Our biggest problem with NWM is the Victorian media expecting him to go and pumping up his value out of all proportion.

The good thing is that with each passing game, Bergman's reputation and subsequent media exposure & commentary is getting bigger and bigger. NWM is without doubt a star, but if Bergman keeps up this trajectory, there wont be much separating them by season's end!

 

[Addy23]

Its already documented that Bergman and NWM are very different players. But currently in the league, as well as u18 levels etc, you see there's a lot more NWM types than Bergman types. That itself adds more value to Bergman.

 

[Jojay]

Well Steve-O was the one who leaked the Houston stuff to the media initially.

He also had no issue blurting out the Wines-to-Carlton hullabaloo some years back.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Keep Bergman ffs

They media commentary won't be comparable. Already NWM is being hailed a superstar and All Australian.

Bergman will be Oh he can play midfield too.

 

[TeeKray]

Getting to the point where he's the most overrated player in the comp.

 

[JimmyBC]

Must admit I'd like to see a bit more x-factor for the money being touted.

Right now he reminds me of Brad Hill.

 

[Rigs]

Hoping we don’t lose Bergs and don’t get NWM

 

[JimmyBC]

Ross Lyon turns x-factor players into robotic foot soldiers though so there is that.

Jesus. He has one subpar game (still had 31 and a goal) and is getting slaughtered on here. The kid is an outright star and only 22.

 

[manureid]

If his name wasnt Wanganeen would we even be interested?

Kochie, contract NOW!!

 

[SureBuddy]

If his name wasnt Wanganeen would we even be interested?

Yes lol. He is already better than everyone on our list, except Butters and JHF. You could argue he is outperforming JHF currently, but we all know his potential.

 

[Wargreymon90]

If his name wasnt Wanganeen would we even be interested?

Yes. Hes been a gun player for a few years now.

Not here in Melbourne. I have actually seen or heard reports on Bergman pretty much daily. The latest yesterday that 5 clubs are after him, showing footage here in Melbourne of his Port training on prime-time news - Very rare to see here!

Every one talking about him and wanting him in there club. Definitely more talk about him here than NWM ... Maybe because they think he is gone, and they are now focusing on Bergman being the loyal returning hero.

Whatever, time will tell. Hopefully it as all moot and we can tempt him to stay at Port

 

[Macca19]

He'd be in the AA team at the moment, so yes, definitely

 

[SureBuddy]

I think he could go missing in the second half of the year and still make it. He has been that good so far.

The All Australian team is an interesting one. Most have NWM across half back but i didn't see any with Connor Rozee

named. Is NWM really having a better year than Rozee? Him and Rozee probably both should be in there but then there are other names that have been mentioned ahead of Rozee too like Zorko, Dale, Sinclair.

I think Rozee's year has been underrated.

Butters also completely snubbed, even though he has been elite since coming back from injury.

Him and Rozee probaly both should be in there but then there are other names that have been mentioned ahead of Rozee too like Zorko, Dale, Sinclair.

Yes he’s been far better than Rozee this year.

NWM has been the best half back in the league by a country mile this year. Lachie Ash is the only other player close to his impact from the back half.

 

[Macca19]

If Rozee keeps going he'll probably sneak in for a bench spot, but Dale, Zorko and NWM have been better, or at least more consistent.
