I’m not looking for a forward so I’m taking an outside perspective, that being said as a Crows fan Berry is just about my favourite of our players so I’m probably biased.
However I can’t find the CBA numbers but from a naked eye he has a lot more responsibility recently, and there’s no Crouch. He’s also just naturally getting better at finding the footy at AFL level, and he’s starting to consistently demonstrate his explosiveness out of stoppages (have a look at his highlights on the AFL app last week).
Compared to those other names, honestly his floor is one of the most attractive things IMO. The tackles means that he can usually land a 70-80 without touching the ball that often, if he gets it 25 times you’ve got a big score. Plus, it’s not like you’re picking him at the start of the year and you need a full breakout season, you just need him to continue his form for 4 weeks.
Cameron I don’t mind, personally I hate picking key forwards though.
Taranto’s role is so uncertain, Berry will be a high CBA mid for the rest of the season.
Coleman again you’re picking for the Rich factor, but how long will that be?
Heeney is Heeney, I don’t think that needs explanation.
I’d imagine everyone considering one of these moves already has Dunkley.
Butters is a huge injury risk.
Plus I feel like Berry is just a really fun pick, talented kid with a super likeable way of playing and is great to watch.
