Recommitted Miles Bergman [re-signed for 2 years]

[THE_GUN]

No, it isn't ...

the extra year of draft picks and the draft picks being reduced makes it different

Mate your not getting 2 x 1st round draft picks with 1 being a top 5 anywhere for an uncontracted Bergman
if he leaves he selects a team and if that team holds a pick inside 10 then thats the deal

your offer of pick 5 is so cheap

 

[THE_GUN]

Ok if you say so

Now what do you think he is worth as an uncontracted player wanting to come home

 

[DaTBird187]

This guy is a very good player. I'm not sure why people underrate him.

Most people live in bubbles.

Most people live in bubbles.

There's a difference between what he's worth and what he's actually going to get traded for.

Bayside boy that wants to go home.

Hopefully Port do the right thing here and help him out.

At the time Rankine was traded he didn’t have many runs on the board. Held his value on potential and being a top 3 pick originally

Rankine’s first game had more highlights than Bergman’s career to date.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

You are entitled to your opinions as we all are but he was pick 14 in his draft year and has only increased in value.

Unfortunately for port he would probably choose hawthorn or the dogs who will only have picks in teens end up having to take slight understand in a trade

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Pick 5 would be the starting point from Port.

Would probably end up as pick 5 plus some later swaps in our favour.

Pick 5 and a future 4th for Bergman and a future 3rd sort of stuff.

I would do the worse of our two first rounders for him straight up though.

That’s a horrible trade for Essendon can’t afford to be trading away top5 picks with compromised drafts on the way soon

 

[Tasmanian saint]

This is the houston argument all over again
Port will take pick #5 and move on

No one is offering pick5 straight up for Bergman and if they do port should be taking it and running , he is worth pick 10-15

Ahh yes because we are basing it all on "highlights". What a joke!

If we don't will you cry and complain to the AFL like your president?

Yes

Yeah!

Hopefully we can luck out with a Dylan Stephens!

 

[Saints2028onwards]

Really hope the saints get this guy. Hes getting better every game. Now playing in his right position - he can be an elite mid come 2026

 

[RCAB]

Heard Hawthorn are is biggest suitor. Expect the whispers to get louder post round 20.

 

[Perrip]

"I don't think clubs who are chasing him are as confident that he's coming home now than they were a month ago." Twomey

 

[ReturningHawk]

We are basing it on potential. Pick 5 for Rankine was a steal, while a similar pick for Bergman would be inappropriate. A late first rounder is called for.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Yeah!

Hopefully we can luck out with a Dylan Stephens!

There’s about 8 players taken in the next 15 that are way better. You may draft Stephen’s or a genuine gun like Serong, Young, Georgiardies, Day or Pickett.

Yes and their are just as many who are shit or even out of the AFL by now.

Bergman is what you would want a top ten pick to become. I am happy paying 5-10 for him in a weakened draft pool.

I wouldn't call it a "steal" at that time as we did overpay then but definitely didn't now.

There's a big difference between pick 5 or 10.

I wouldn't say it was a steal considering Rankine went for what pick 3 or 4 in the first place? They pretty much paid what GC gave up for him initially

Maybe a pick around 10-15 would have been a steal

Looking back on the trade now, GC ended up with Humphreys who is tracking very well right now, so i think both clubs would be happy with that trade

 

[Adz2332]

looking less likely to leave, massive win for port if true.
hopefully him showing faith convinces butters to sign to
