Charlie gardiner, just been delisted by the Saints, in a PSD cupboard that is pretty bare, maybe he is an option.. i personally not a fan of him, but just after thoughts, he is not really the answer, on the oldish side, slow, one dimensional..

Maybe i just answered my own question...

gets alot of the footy, leads well, works hard, smart, good hands, and is serviceable, bit similar to miller but better!!!

He isn't better than Miller. He is a first rate hack who has now failed miserably at two clubs. Definite pass here.

63 games over 7 years, with disposal average of 10.

Over their careers, Miller averages one extra mark per game than Gardiner. Hardly "getting a lot of footy" Gardiner has never had 20 touches. Add to al lthat he's farily useless and has been kicked out of two teams in two years, why would we want him? Aside from one of the major drawbacks being that he'll be 26 next year

equal too if not better than: ....

SILLY

Nasher has summed it up. He isn't better than Miller. Gardiner is a 2 Club delist. And comparing him to Bartram is mindless. :wacko:

If you list the players on the MFC list you clearly dont value I dont see the point in talking Gardiner up. We wont take him if we are serious about improving our list.

wrong. if miller was playing for any of the other clubs he would have been delisted too. If Miller was at the cats as Gardiner was then he wouldnt have got past his first contract. After that I honestly dont think another club would have touched him. Gardiner is a hell of a lot better than miller. WIth regards to Miller i've never known a player not being able to mark or even handball properly.

because its flawed logic. what about minutes per game?...also what about dropped marks per game?...amount of times miller runs underneath the ball per game compared to gardiner? number of clangers per game? number of times any of them got scared in a contest and punched it (instead of marking it) straight down to akermanis directly in front of goals losing a game for their team?

You inability to show even a modest amount of objectivity in assessing Miller symbolises why so many readers of this site hold your views with as such low estimation and smirk at how you seemingly trumpet your derided and silly views.

Not as flawed as your classic comments

"Gardiner is a hell of a lot better than miller." "WIth regards to Miller i've never known a player not being able to mark or even handball properly."

Either way he has averaged more marks than Gardiner. And that takes into account where Miller has played a negating role in defence where stats are low. That stat in itself does little to champion Gardiner. Miller is no star of the game but he isn't the disaster you have ridiculously tried to present.

At least 45Hotgod was able to put up a third party statistical comparison. You perennially post nothing but the limitations of your football knowledge.

you are and always will be a supporter who simply cannot see the big picture. we came last yet you fail to draw on any of the negatives simply because in your mind everything is rosey and all of our players have no flaws.

how is the fact that he has more marks a reflection of him being a better player? it isn't. especially when miller would get significantly more game time than gardiner ever did.

how about you actually have an opinion of your own rhino...its very easy sitting on the fence isn't it

What ever I see dwarfs your microscopic outlook its not funny. In fact I cant think of one "big picture" contribution you have made. Though I am sure you will respond to blow your own trumpet

we came last yet you fail to draw on any of the negatives simply because in your mind everything is rosey and all of our players have no flaws.

When did I say that? In fact I have been regularly critical of a number of aspects of MFC list and players.

Making stuff up Freak is the work of simple minds. Yours being in the extreme.

It doesn't but it indeed debunks your silly comment "Gardiner is a hell of a lot better than miller". Beyond your self infatuated hot air what indeed have you put up to support? Nothing but your own hyperbole.

how about you actually have an opinion of your own rhino...its very easy sitting on the fence isn't it

Better than wedging your ass on the fence post isnt it? :lol:

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
