We've got a fair few forward flankers and probably not enough wingers.
I think we’re good for the wings. Having mobile, strong, medium-tall half forwards who mark strongly and kick long is not a bad strategy, especially if one of these two can move into the midfield.
 
From AFL Draft Central's Draft Guide book from 4 weeks ago.

Blue = Elite, Green = Above Average, Yellow = Average, Red = Below Average.

Who the hell are you?

You know. You all know exactly who I am. Say my name.

Do what? I don't... I don't have a damn clue who the hell you are.

Yeah, you do. I'm the doctor. I'm the man Port picked over Kemp.

Bullshit. Carlton got Kemp with Pick 10.

Are you sure? That's right. Now, say my name.

Bergman.

You're goddamn right.

I really like this pick.

In addition to all of the good qualities listed in his bio he actually seems like someone of exceptional character.

Better people make better teams, and choosing high quality talent who also possess high quality character and personal leadership skills is pretty much straight from every blueprint for success ever.

I feel like our list management team is rebuilding our culture as much as we are the raw talent on our list.

Welcome Miles!

Bergman is the perfect replacement for Rozee in the forward line allowing him to play midfield.

Super strong aerially for a fast guy, and a huge kick making him dangerous at half forward since he won't have to hit up a target inside 50. Can see him playing next year.
Has abit of rozee about him I reckon

Soundness a possible concern?
Seriously strong boot and pace maybe getting ahead of himself physically? Hopefully a solid well managed preseason gets him games early.
