Player Watch Sam Berry

[imagifED]

The play after the Dangerfield Kelly collision is what sealed it for me. The dummy and the pulled back kick with a beautiful action showed class with ball in hand when most first gamers would either handball or kick long.



Play at 0:30

Another time Berry hit Tex inside 50 and unfortunately Tex dropped the mark was a bit of a sitter, but it was an excellent kick to go with the one after the Kelly bump

Can't wait to see him and Pedler on the ground together.

Gonna create some diamonds....

Neddy followed by Berry and Sloane

Sorry, I mean the others who were statistically better in their debuts as per MRB37 ’s post

 

[glengowan]

Just looked like he belonged! Great pick up!

 

[Redleg Crow]

Anyone else see ferociousness of young Sloane in Berry?

Nice early call

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Been a long time since we've had a draft pick make an immediate impact in round 1, looks like we've found two.

 

[Jirkago75]

It’s been a long time since we have had a tough onballer that likes the physical stuff. It’s great to see, I can’t wait to see him and Pedler beat up on teams in the future

A new innovation I think.

It's been in the app mostly hidden behind the subscription but now it seems it has been decoupled since they don't have AFL Live Pass any more.

Highlight of the game for me, cannot remember ever seeing us hunt the opposition like that before and there were a few repeated efforts. This is what Richmond have done so well with just moving the ball forward and winning with numbers, pure effort thing which is why they seem to be able to replace players so well when they get injuries.

Greenwood hasn’t been gone long

Match leading (10 tackles) again for Berry. Quickly becoming my favorite player

I also like the fact that he gave away 0 frees. Suggests his technique is as good as his intent - somebody who tackles that much you'd expect to give away the odd one or two for a high tackle or in the back or whatever, those clumsy sorts of frees, but not in this case.

I've watched his technique and he seems to be strong enough through the chest, arms and core to manipulate the way the player lands when he tackles them (whilst still driving them down fairly hard on their side mind you).

Rather then allowing the player to fall forward and play for the 'in the back' free.

This kids a ripper!

This bloke can play.
His steal from from Kennedy who's a bull himself and acceleration while fending off opponents on the wkend was awesome!
4 shots on goal... when was the last time Crouch had 4 shots on goal in a game?
He is Leading the league in tackles to go with it.

Agree. Can turn into a mini Dusty for us in time.

I think it's great that we're keeping a lid on things and not getting ahead of ourselves based on a 2 game sample size

No different to the way we immediately discard any player that isn’t an automatic star, especially KPP’s...

[hey shorty]

And when Pedlar fits in, we'll have a slightly more rounded version.

Very exciting.

He really earned that first goal, just works so damn hard.

 

[Lawrst]

Needs a bit of set shot practice but he's very quickly becoming a favorite.

 

[cmndstab]

If he can get his kicking right he's going to be a very good player.

I love his tackling technique! The best I've seen at the Crows in a very long time.

Berry reminds me of Selwood in so many ways.

He looks like he should be wandering around a deserted farmstead, carrying a bloodied axe in a Stephen King novel
