WEBVTT - Miles Bergman speaks as Power fall short in Showdown 57

0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>This is five double a football. Let's go to the room.

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Sam Dada is in the Portadelaide rooms.

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Timmy, joined by Miles Bergman down here in the

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:10.479
<v Speaker 2>port rooms.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Port only.

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 2>We're coming really hard out of the halftime into the

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 2>third quarter.

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Weren't able to capitalize.

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Where did it all go wrong?

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I think Adelaide were just better on the day. They

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:24.119
<v Speaker 2>obviously killed us on turnover, but I thought we brought

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 2>some good pressure, a lot better than we have been

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>in the past, so that's been a positive. Just couldn't

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 2>capitalize on moments. I'm going inside fifty especially and.

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Miles tim Giniver here. Firstly, did you enjoy your time

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in the middle and I loved the job that you

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>did on their skipper.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's good fun. It's a good change first time,

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, I had a bit of fun and tried

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 2>to do my role as best they could, which I

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 2>thought I did okay, but obviously not the result we

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>were looking for as a team.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're fast forward a week and your take on Geelong.

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Could we think ahead and think that maybe a pee

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>dangerfield might be one of those people you play on

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>if he goes into the midfield.

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure, it was a little experiment this week,

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>but we'll have to wait and see what any things.

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well it was a fair experiment. It worked really

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>well well. The midfield was absolutely dominant. We talk about

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>clearances and absolute smacking. So what was Ken's message straight

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>after the game, because you did a.

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Lot right, Yeah, exactly like you said. I think it's

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 2>a good improvement on how we've been going and positive signs,

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>but obviously still a lot of things to work on

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>efficiency going forward and making sure our defense is on

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>with anticipation on their turnover. But some good signs going

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>forward and hopefully we can get a win next week.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And obviously the focus goes to the next match. But

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>you talk about bottling the preparation that worked really well

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.479
<v Speaker 1>this week without getting the ultimate result. You go back

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a week and had a really poor performance. How do

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you ensure that you see what you see this week

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to next week. Does that get discussed as a.

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Group, Yeah, for sure. I think, like you said, just

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 2>following each week by week and acknowledging what you did

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 2>well and what you need to work on, and I

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>think come back down to pressure and contest, which we

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>did really well tonight.

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>But we just couldn't get all the way.

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Myles, great game. I thought you were sensational through the

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 4>Jordan Dawson's arguably in the best half a dozen in

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 4>the competition, and you really negated him along with Drew

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 4>as well through the middle of the ground. But how

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 4>important the decision, I guess, And what was the midfield group?

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 4>How do they feel about Dante coming in? I mean,

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 4>obviously you've had a fair go with Jordan Sweet we're

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 4>probably a little nervous up here around what that might

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 4>look like because Briley O'Brien had a pretty good week

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 4>last week against Tom de Conning, who's one of the

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 4>premier rupmen in the competition.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>But it Gizy held his own tonight.

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, we just show a lot of trust

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>in all our players that the next man's going to

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 2>step up. And he's been working really hard in the

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 2>sandfull and really earned his position tonight, and he showed

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 2>while we gave him the chance, he battles hard and

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't give up, So we love that about him.

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Your skipper set the tone early, not just because he

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 3>had twenty one touches up to half time. Some of

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 3>his one percenters he's technically he's chasing. He did a

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 3>smother down at the riverbank stand in that saved the ball. Okay,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.519
<v Speaker 3>he stuff to kick up the next one, but god,

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 3>what a game he had to lead from the front

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:15.959
<v Speaker 3>like that from the half back fleet.

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's been really good for us as a backline

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and as a team since he's gone back. Just a

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 2>bit of leadership and voice down there and really help

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>with ball movement going forward. And I think it's built

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 2>him up the last few weeks in his confidence as well.

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 3>So if Port play you're more in the midfield, you're

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 3>more likely to sign with them.

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Miles, you like that one. I thought this question would come.

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I have been waiting patiently to play midfield. We've got

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>such a strong group and a lot of boys that

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>can go through there and it was a really good

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>experience tonight. And yeah, we'll just have to see.

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>But that's your future, riddit. I mean, you're a star

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 3>that I don't want to waste it in the back line,

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 3>but you're great. I don't want to waste your forward,

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 3>but you're great. But I think midfield you could be

0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 3>a bona fider in there.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd love to stay in there if I could,

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>but I'm happy to do whatever Ken he needs me

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>to do, and I love the backline as well.

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Six years all right, Just tell us I've got Trendsey.

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Put a clause in their midfield only.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I like it.

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Negotiate hard mate.

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Well you keep going, mate. You were terrific today, Thanks

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 3>you times.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Thanks very much, Mud, and you know that's great news

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>that you're staying at Port Adelaide. So well done, mate,

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and I's got all the best next week ago so long.

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Thanks guys, have one God, you've got to sign in

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>here
