I used to think the same thing about Berry (and Fogarty too - but he played a very different role). Berry is having a breakout year in 2025, and is now impacting games far more regularly than he did in the past.
Taylor doesn't have the fitness to play full-time in the midfield, but if we persist with him he may break out too (2026 more likely than 2025 now), becoming more than just the "role player in the last 4 players picked" that he is now.

Ok - Can we Pluck the Hawks then?
I said earlier this season, there are moments in a game when you go : yep, it's our day today. That happened inside the first 15 seconds on Saturday night, with Bergman kicking it to Fog, and again in the 3rd when ROB kicked a checkside.
Our defence is rock solid. 3 tall forwards shouldn't really work in the wet, but all of them are so good below the knees that it did work. Glad we didn't let up in the last and really buried them, but still put our stars on ice for the last 10.
Gonna miss Kenny.

There were a lot of moments I loved in this game but I think my favourite was DBJ crapping himself in our F50, fumbling twice and Soligo kicking that goal.
He does at least use the ball well and is very composed in traffic, plus we don't have anyone really threatening to take his place so I don't see any reason to get rid of him at the moment. I just worry about the future of players who can't find the footy into their third or so season and beyond. Key position players somewhat excepted.

I think Berry is exactly the kind of midfielder for the gameplay Nicks wants - strength around the contest, which leads to pressure and turnovers.
January 25 nice try but no cigar tryhard.
Long long long before Crouch copped his latest injury and you know it.
There is no way Matt comes in anytime soon and then it would only be if we cop injuries to our current starting mids.
Unlike some I've always rated Sam Berry and now people are starting to see the burst speed I'd seen as a junior....one day you'll likely see the hops I've spoken about also now he has the confidence to take the game on.

Agree, today’s midfielders need to hit the scoreboard - and unfortunately Matt doesn’t.
Does anyone seriously think Matt could have kicked the two goals Berry did from 50m?

No definetly not, Crouch simply doesn't have the explosiveness that Berry has - nor the body strength.
Berry's breakout season was 2022, physically cooked in 2023 (I recall him saying there were changes to his training in the preseason) and somehow started fumbling all of a sudden middle of last year. This year he is back to not fumbling and add even more burst of speed which he always had, also seeing a few of his leaps.

Good.
Also very happy to see NO votes for no-impact superFLOG, Butters.
50 disposals mean nothing if your team gets done by 16 goals.
Thought TT looked a bit slim then I noticed the logo. Photo is from his draft year.
The latter, yes. You can tell a stupid person by their (stupid) actions.

I was worried it means: "Stupid people don't get what "Stupid is as stupid does" means" ie me
.
Back in 2022 he was a tackling machine, but that was pretty much his whole game. Now he's offering a LOT more than he has in the past, now that he's started using his explosive power away from the contest.
