Recommitted Jarrod Berry [Signs until 2029]

[The Nostradamus]

Any chance berry leaves with the Mcluggage re-signing, the Ashcroft brothers, Neale, Dunkley plus Rayner and Bailey pushing for more midfield minutes? Feel like centre bounces opportunities might be limited

Depends what he values

But yes a decent chance

 

[THE_GUN]

^the main point being here is with setterfield, Hobbs and parish to come into an already strong midfield

Berry ain’t going to the dons if he leaves

Now tigers or north on the other hand that would make more sense

I really dont think he "Fits" at Richmond either

Taranto , Bolton , Hopper as main stays going foward and wanting to get games into Sonsie , McAullife and a few other kids
as well as the 2-3 new mids that will come into the side

We probably need more speed than Berry offers

No. Given the way Berry has been playing the past month, the Lions should be putting him well ahead of Rayner, Bailey and Levi Ashcroft when it comes to midfield time next year.

I doubt it family now lives in Queensland the one we were most likely to lose was Clug with the money thrown at him by other clubs

are joined at the hip, no way Berry will be leaving the Lions.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Jarrod Berry and Hugh McCluggage are joined at the hip, no way Berry will be leaving the Lions.

Treloar and Dunkley were joined at the hip

You know how that ended

Great point , they do a pretty good weekly Podcast together still, one of the better ones too... some good banter re their clash this Friday night on the latest one.

 

[Perrip]

From the Herald Sun today:

Jarrod Berry (Brisbane Lions) – Has been working in good faith with the Lions and has a multi-year offer in front of him, looks like staying.

 

[The Nostradamus]

They’ve got him tagging now

Instead of ball hunting

 

[blueiris]

They’ve got him tagging now

Instead of ball hunting

And he’s dominating the so called best player in the AFL

 

[rye]

 

[THE_GUN]

I really cant see him leaving the Lions at all

 

[eth-dog]

I'd have zero issue offering 6+ years to him.

 

[Elixuh]

Fagan said in a presser last week that Bez will stay, which I found a very odd thing for him to come out and say. Wouldn't be saying it if he wasn't confident.

North and Essendon miss another target, womp womp.

Meh. Most clubs miss more targets than they get.

We move on and go to the next target.

"We're just biding our time and letting my footy do the talking.

"We're not in any rush (to sign), and neither are Brisbane, but we're both confident we'll settle on something pretty soon."

 

[rye]

isnt there already enough of a squeeze for midfield time at essendon?

hes an upgrade over setterfield and caldwell but not enough to be throwing a big contract at imo

 

[CarterS]

Sounds like leaving never even come into the picture and they're just working out details.

 

[blueiris]

Yeah apparently we’re offering 4 years

Sounds like leaving never even come into the picture and they're just working out details.

Looks like it pretty sure he’s family are in Queensland I heard somewhere he’s farther moved north

 

[Vindicater]

Will get done now that Hugh is done.

 

[CarterS]

I'll bet after seeing Hugh's contact he'll want 7 years as well.

 

[paulige]

If he plays like he has the last little while (the last couple of weeks, in particular), he can have them!

 

[Ambrosia]

Doubt he goes but would be great in the Setterfield role for us. Heck Setterfield has been better than handy in that role but just can’t stay on the park.

I think a big body mid like Berry is one of the missing pieces of Essendon. Midfield is somewhat undersized and lacks some physicality.

 

[blueiris]

Jon Ralph expecting him to sign within the next month on a 4 year contract between 650k and 750k
