I reckon Miller's been really helped by Warnock and Garland's improvement too, because they can be trusted with the big forwards and there's no need to waste him in defense. Shows how when some players can help lift they take others with them.

Victim of footy supporters seeing everything in black and white. If you are not a star, you must be a dud. Awful footballers just don't play 150 games.

Funny that, Crossy's made no announcements on his movements next year. I'd be gutted if he moved to another club as a development coach. He's had such a tangible impact on training standards by our k

Started to notice today why they rate him so highly as a leader at Melbourne. He was very vocal all game, could always hear him yelling out from the forward line centre bounces. And stepping up to take those important marks in the last quarter. Hes limited in some abilities but he goes 110% and you cant knock him for that. Its Miller time.

Miller was very good for us today. I think he's sold short when people are rating him outside our top 6 vs Brisbane.

It's great to see him playing with the confidence to kick the ball.

Weren't you pissing off until the end of the year, or did you have to come back to start yet another "Sylvia is the most amazing player ever OMFG!!!111!" thread?

The latter :P

couple minutes to go and i was getting all excited..

a few times i jumped to my feet when we were a goal down, anyway a few lion supporters(bogans)

yelled at me to sit down!!!

I thought the vibe in the crowd was really good - the poor umpiring seemed to fire the Dees fans up.

To be fair, it's pretty frustrating when you can't see the game because people are standing up in front when the match is on

(particularly if you have kids with you, or are pretty short).

I was very guilty of standing and jumping today.

But at the same time i won't apologise for it. If someone has an issue they can just ask if you move to a seat a bit to the side. I'm not usually one for leaving the seat unless it's a close in game or rubbish umpiring, today was both.

Standing on the seats in MCC singing the song when they wouldnt play it again was great fun.

Go the dees!

Off topic completely but... Cordner tell me you weren't one of the poor blokes putting up with the idiot with the cast on his arm. This bloke behind me all freaking second half at the city end. His support was great and vocal and who cares until all of a sudden he starts cutting sick cos some bloke he doesn't know wouldn't high five him. Toothless loon, thought I was back at queens birthday...

I recon Miller is playing better because he is

1 More confident

2 Knows he’s team mates are more confident in him

3 Seems to me that DB has told him he is going to keep the CHF position to him self so he can settle down.

Well done to him and there is nothing better than watching him on fire, his best game since Freo in 06 Prelim (mind you that was an AWESOME GAME by him)

No one was sitting behind me rogue :)

besides these bogans were ten seats back and standing up.. and yes it was at the city end behind the goals.

they were looking for a fight..

I turned around and let them know what i thought of them after millers goal, I think they were bullys and just looking for weak melbourne supporters to abuse..

I am a nightclub bouncer, i work at a club in Prahran and today i bought three boys from work along with me... lucky for those horrible horrible bogans i am a nice guy.. my moto is make love not war!!!

Finally Miller is showing his potential what Bailey saw at Mt Gavarrat QLD.

Excellent game

What Bailey saw at Mt.Gravatt. Umm Bailey was no where in Coooeee of MtGravatt in QLD. It was Craig Cameron. Miller has been at the club since 2003. Bailey has just arrived!!

What Bailey is doing is teaching the kids how to play, improving their skills, improving the leadership aspects for these kids. Wow, that leadership change has really injected some confidence too.!

C'MON the DEMONS!!!!!!

I'm sorry you didn't get the obvious tongue-in-cheek comment I made at the end.

It's great that after years of reading abusive Brad Miller threads on Demonland and copping [censored] for supporting him (I wasn't alone mind you), that for once we can all actually be positive about his game and his progress. He absolutely deserves recognition and support, as for all of his faults he has never been less than 100% team oriented. Now he is getting some personal rewards too, and so he should!

He will never be a super star, but he is more than capable of being a strong presence up forward for many years to come.

Amen sister.....

And no you can say "I told you so" (although not to me, please!!!) all you want given the amount of crap that we have copped over the last couple of years (with some good reason at times but certainly not others) for actually having the audacity to stick up for a player who we believed had value to the side.

I must admit to feeling a little smug as well ;) !!!

I think you will find that Bailey was once the coach at Mt. Gravat. This may have coincided with Miller's time there as a junior.

I have always been a quiet Miller Fan-more that i really wanted him to succeed and play for us & not get traded. Yes he has played some shockers we all know that. But after that Final in 2006 against the Shockers i knew he could do it.

It's great to see him Kicking the Ball. * more Games to shine in this year Brad-Go for it.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
