Berry was very good again. 21 disposals, 10 contested possessions, 6 clearances, 3 tackles, 3 inside 50's, 1 goal assist and a very strong overhead contested mark. Used the ball bloody well playing as an inside midfielder going at 81%.

He's had a good month (best of the four for July) but not sure he's had the stretch of quality that SPP/Burton/McGrath have had this season. Certainly coming home with a wet sail but will need another big month to see the other three off.

Did you watch the game or just the stats?
Watched the whole game. Couple of errors, but looked the most composed Sun on the day

He's only had the one quiet game in his last 8. Has been in phenomenal form for a second year player and was arguably our best again. 11 goals in that period while averaging over 15 touches and 7 marks a game.
He did have a few quiet games early in the season, but he also had a few reasonable games (rounds 4-7 were solid to very good).
If he continues his current form, he'd be a very deserving winner. Certainly well ahead of every other nominates player at the Blues.

Got to be Melican or Darcy for this week. Fiorini definitely shouldn't get it on this week alone, although his 'body of work' may clinch it for him. Berry wouldn't be a howler pick either,
Hasn't been as consistent as Darcy or fiorini recently imo.
Over the entire season, he has been.
Nah fiorini has been much better imo, let's not act like Berry is in the mix for the overall award. Fiorini is averaging about 8 More disposals and more marks. It's not close at all between the two for me at the moment. And since Darcy has been Playing, I'd say hes been abit better then Berry.
The award has a history like this, early season form quickly forgotten by judges.
Just give it to big Sean.

Combined with his excellent season so far Berry must be a good chance ,if not this week then in one of the remaining weeks

Berry had a another good game and his form as been great but would have thought Darcy and Fiorini are more than deserving this week
Berry has done a lot of inside work, which is terribly unheralded. Fiorini is a talent and Darcy is top shelf. All 3 should get noms shortly. Hopefully Cedric Cox can earn one, probably in Round 23, as he is behind the aforementioned 3 and Melican.

5 rounds left. How many kids are there left with a 'body of work' to their name? You would imagine the committee would want to get these three in.
Darcy
Berry
Fiorini
Who else has put together a decent run?
If Darcy plays all remaining games he will have only played a total of 10 games so he will still be eligible for the award next year. Fiorini and Berry have played over 10 games now so it's this season or never. They might been seen as priorities just to give them some recognition for a good year.

He had a great game and did make the AFL player ratings team of the week so would be a chance. However at this stage in the season you seem to get more nominees based on a period of performance and I'm not sure he qualifies for that over Darcy and Fiorini
I would add Ainsworth to the list, has been incredible for a small forward in a struggling team. It's hard to know how they judge it. Fiorini has had so many good weeks but is it judged based on a week by week?
