Recommitted Miles Bergman [Re-Signed to 2025]

[Bulldogs85]

I don't recall North fans being keen on Bergman, seems like it was the Bulldogs who were most keen

I don’t recall my club ever being linked with Bergman

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

A collective sigh of relief from a few Victorian club supporters I think.

Nah, Port have done well to hang on to Bergman who will only get better imo... given all the talk he may go back.

I personally am always happy to see players drafted interstate (to whatever club) stick fat with their club, especially first round picks.

He will be a better version of Jake Lever; he has potential to play shutdown roles.

Once he fixes his kicking he will be elite don’t forget he’s only 21

 

[Jimmy95]

Miles Bergman, 21yr old utility player that was a first round pick. I think more likely to go than to stay. His value depends on who you ask. I think he'll probably get offered around 600k but I think his worth is around 450k. I've heard essendon and stkilda are keen.
Pros: Athleticism, defensive mindset, scope for improvement after injury history, Long kick (albeit, a poor kick)
Negatives: Inability to impact games offensively, ball use, inability to find the ball and goes missing for long stretches within games.
Average: Cleanliness below his knees.

Fair bit of Clayton Oliver in that summary.

 

[Jimmy95]

Bergman is a back flanker, we have an abundance of them, georgiades was in poor form and has just done an acl, who knows how he comes back from it. We’ll still be the youngest team in the league next year, it would be a miracle if we end up with a pick outside the top 10. Bergmans a decent player but not what we need so i wouldn’t waste draft capital on him and georgiades would be worth a pick 30+

Someone's still salty at the Wingard trade.

No doubt we got pantsed in the wingard trade, I’d like for that to not happen again. If we handed over a top 5 pick for Bergman and georgiades I’d spew up

I'd be furious if we gave away those 2 for a top 5 pick. Both going to be super players.

 

[Adz2332]

Massive news that he's staying!
Integral to our backline.

If Jake Lever kicked it like James Manson, sure.

 

[Adz2332]

Officially signed on.

See you in two years time!

 

[Wild Bill]

Nah, North had the biggest offer from interstate. Offering 300k per year more than Port. Was never interested

It was the Pies and Saints chasing him - we have enough defenders that turn the ball over. Your made out figures are really amusing.

Your retort based on zero evidence is equally amusing

 

[Mayes2Gray]

Pro

Nobody disputes his intercept numbers, they are Ridley level good.

The problem is he tries to bite off more than he can chew and turns the ball over every 3 times he gets it.

Probably something to do with our aggressive game style.

I’m sure he would have been just fine with chipping it around the d50 for another team.

 

[Wild Bill]

"It's understood Collingwood had shown the most significant interest in Bergman among Victorian clubs, while St Kilda and a handful of others had also put forward compelling offers to the talented 21-year-old."

 

[Cleric]

He's just staying to confuse every commentator who is who between him and JHF.

Well done Port. Bergman is a very good player and a big reason for their rise this year.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Bergman signs on

Miles Bergman has recommitted to Port Adelaide, keeping the versatile defender at Alberton until at least the end of 2025.

McRae must be a terrible coach wanting Bergman.

Huge retention. Bergman is a gun, would have loved to have him at North.
