I just watched SPP's 'highlights' again and the guy really struggles to hit any target, even under no pressure. Or when he is under no pressure he can't make a decision so puts himself under pressure and makes more errors.
I'm beginning to think, not even at 34 thanks. Would rather Fisher or Bayok. They might be short people but atleast we won't be pulling our hair out as they have another game with 50% efficiency

can undestand fisher but its not always about kicking efficiency. SPP ability to extract a footy and explode out of congestion is elite and he very dynamic around goal. The type of player that could be a match winner. His kicking needs to be worked on but with better ball users around him he doesn't need to kick as much. Plus our game plan just seems to be kick it long anyway.

Powell-pepper

It's a crap nickname and if he's onboard after the draft a new one needs to be made!

Barring the likes of Taranto, Scrimshaw or SPS sliding to our pick, I'm very much in Camp Berry now.

Athletically and physically he's very impressive. Mmm.

• At the Combine he finished first in the beep test and 3km time trial. Unlike Yeo, our last great midfield hope, Berry should have the tank necessary to play midfield full time.
• At the Combine he finished fourth in the repeat sprints. At State testing earlier in the year he ran a 7.80 agility test, just .03 shy of Stephen Hill's combine record. There's some spring in those pins I tells you what.
• At 191cm, he's the size of the prototypical modern midfielder. Still some room to fill out, but not a twig either at 80kg.

He also happens to be a good footballer.

• He is known to be tough and courageous. Here's a kid who played for a quarter with a bruised kidney. Wowee big boy.
• He can win the ball in the middle and considers that to be his best position.
• He likes to run and carry more than a Winona Ryder in a 7/11.
• He is known for his excellent intercept marking down back.
• He is known for his ability to hit the scoreboard up forward. Did someone say trade Darling?
• He finished top 3 in both the skills and clean hands test at the combine. I know that this doesn't mean all that much in terms of those skills, but what it tells me is that Berry prepares well, especially given that footskills are considered a relative weakness of his.
  
• All Australian U18 as an underage player, thought to be in contention for the number one pick earlier in the year before injuries.

He is apparently a top bloke.

• Captain of North Ballarat, Vic Country and the AFL Academy.
• He was awarded the Ben Mitchell award by his Academy peers for being the toppest bloke out.
• Every article on Berry seems to highlight his character and leadership, with the "tomorrow's heroes" article quoting clubs as saying that he is the "best kid in the pool" - so you know he can swim too.
• To back up excellent combine skills testing with a great repeat sprint and top marks in both the 3km and beep test in consecutive days is a decent indication that he is a hard worker and a professional.

He does have weaknesses. These seem to be:

• Inconsistent footskills
• Recent injuries
• Unclear which is his best position

To me though, it seems that if he didn't have those weaknesses (or perhaps even just one of them), he would be in line to be picked well before 12. We can't get perfect prospects as late as pick 12, but someone like Berry is probably about as close as we're likely to get here.

I agree with this. From my position of significant expertise (I have watched about 10minutes of YouTube clips on a few prospects). Unless someone like Taranto slides, Berry looks good to me.

And as an added bonus, imagine the puns we could use about picking Berry on a nice spring day.
