Strange dream

The Backyard Charizard
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I woke up at early hours of this morning from the strangest dream.....

After a strong finish to 2008 (albeit only 4 wins) and a strong pre-season (no visions of draft picks :().... Dean Bailey called a press conference!

In the press conference (which was strangely hosted by Andrew O'Keefe from Deal or No Deal) our coach was sitting with Brad Miller.....

Dean proceeded to tell the football world that Brad would be the new captain of the Melbourne Football Club....

I know this was only a dream, but apart from Mr O'Keefe, this seemed so real..... :o

    Not beyond reality. Miller has the passion and ability to lead. I think you are right.

    He didnt have a case with 200g in it by any chance ;)

    He's shown a lot of heart to come back like he has. If Daniher was still the coach, he may have been traded or even delisted.

    But despite all the criticism, he's been able to take his game to a new level.

    Still I'd want to see him play out the season consistently, before I considered him as captain.

    At the start of the season I stated that this move would be ridiculous, as proved by his performances up until then. Now though (take note Jaded, who has been fighting the fight) if he continues with the form, desperation and leadership that he's shown over the last half dozen games then it wouldn't be all that bad.

    I'm extremely happy to have Brad Miller proven that I was wrong, I'll just go and eat some pie.

    PS Now he just has to work on his consistency

    I said earlier in the year that the idea had merit, and still believe that to be the case. He'll have some tough competition in McLean and Green though.

    I'd be happy to have any of the three as captain. I'm just thankful that we've finally got some blokes capable of showing leadership outside Neitz.

    *Falls off chair* :o:o

    I could think of far worse things than Brad Miller being appointed captain of the MFC.

    ok..spanner in the thinking.. or topic for debate.

    Loved Neeta.. but always felt we were compromised on match day having a Capt who was really only at teh sharp end.. Your sphere of influence when things arent happening is limited.. Ive nothing actually against Miller in this regard..its soley the FF as capt. Id prefer not to

    why is everyone so ingnorant and stubborn to suggest cameron bruce as captain he would be the fav easily

    I actually believe Brad Green would be the favourite at this stage..... Has had a ripper season and is celebrating our wins with pure joy (which is great due to the fact some ppl are hoping we don't win too many)

    But Brad Miller is an option! His leadership has green beat.... I mean been great..... (oops :) ) and his overall physicality are saying to me that it is not out of the question..... Plus he has the tick from DB already (DB loves him)

    Just thought I would throw it out there..... That and the fact that it was one of the wierdest dreams of my life!

    Wow. That is actually very clever. Plus, I agree with you.

  • Quote

    Miller has the leadership skills, but not the ability.

    i'm sorry but your captain has to be one of your best players. they have to be damn good footballers to lead by example on field.

    Miller is an average player.

  • Quote

    I had a dream once........lets just say Pam Anderson and I have not yet met. When I boast about having a visit from Pam, then start to worry about Millzy becoming the skipper!

    They will give it to Greeny.

  • Quote

    Green will be the next captain

    Watching the group, I think Miller is the natural leader that everyone follows.

    From all reports, he had the playing group absolutely PRIMED before the Brisbane, game, like they were prepared to follow him anywhere.

    I agree he needs consistency, but he could be a good fit until Grimes is ready =p

    + I don't think he will be FF, more a leading flanker / CHF perhaps?

    Good summary there MJP. I only said Green cause i could not separate Miller and Green on latest performances. Miller is a good option to be next captain

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
