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'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.

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!

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.

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.

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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
