Miller

Recommended Posts

Miller plays a different game to all of them apart from perhaps Bate. Robbo and Jamar stayed around the goals. Wonna is a crumber and LJ is just a gifted freak who can do anything. Bate plays up the ground as does Miller and he doesn't kick a lot of goals either. The problem with them is that they are usually kicking the ball to where they should be.

If Miller was playing from the goal square and he had decent delivery he may be able to kick some goals, I don't think he is a great player but he can be handy and can hit the opposition pretty hard. We don't have too many in the side that can do that.

who are you kidding, when Miller has had the ball from 30 - 35 on any angle he struggles big time. had his chances , onto the trade table

Say we lose Miller..

Ideally, Jamar and Martin would rotate thru the ruck and full forward when resting, therefore taking the biggest defender. Add Bate at 192 cms and 90+ kgs and the headache that will be L. Jurrah at CHF and im thinking Watts will prob take the 3rd, maybe 2nd biggest/tallest defender, in a pocket/flank, for a least a season or 2.. (Unless he hits a growth spurt and ups to 200cms ;) )

and personally, i think Garland at 193cms will also be apart of our forward line too, once up to speed again..

Miller has had season after season.. for no result. The 1st to go for me.

Convince him to become a training coach of some sort and find a spot on the fitness team for him if his prep is that good! Same with J-Mac 2011 for his leadership qualities..

Colin Garland

Age: 21yr 4mth Games: 20 Born: April 24, 1988 Height: 191cm Weight: 84kg Position: Defender

IMO he's a swingman at the moment.

I reckon our current young forwards, (& we add another couple of young Keys' to our list 2nd & 3rd or 4th rounds), & we can develope that line over the coming 2 or 3 seasons to hopefully grow into one of the best offences around.

You change your mind quickly. First you wrote that he will be a star, the next post you wrote that he will be a handy player, I'm sure the next post you write will be how useless Miller is like the rest of us.

Miller used to take a lot of marks and if he could convert about a third in to goals he would be a star.

There's nothing like being misquoted. :wacko:

If Miller was playing from the goal square...

This was what I was hoping might occur in the second half of this year, just to showcase it one way or the other.

Whether it (not happening) was lack of opportunity, lack of timeliness (ala Robbo), or faith - I've no idea.

Or even the presence of one liam jurrah. :)

It's amazing how 2cms is the difference between a KPF and a medium-small with no chance of being a focal point.

Fevola is 191cm.

Such a shame, if only he was 193cm he would be a decent FF.

Thems the traps.

He's a [censored] anyway...

To be a KPF in the AFL, you need to take strong contested marks and have to have the confidence to take a shot at goal from 50 or anywhere inside 50. Not just dish of to someone under pressure, because you might miss.

Millers hasn't got a big enough presence inside the forward 50, opposition teams don't fear coming up againist him.

Millers gone for mine, he had plenty of time to take ownership of the forward line, but hasn't.

One of my best mates went to school with Fev, and said that even at a young age Fev was an absolute nob. Add to that his complete lack of intellect and it's amazing he is smart enough to drive himself to the games.... how was his form on the footy show last night..... lets see... why don't I pick a player who is likely to play on me in big games for the next few years (Zac Dawson) and publicly deride him as being no good on the footy show, thereby giving him extra motivation to prove himself against me... duh.... where's that dildo toy gone.... at least that feels good in my hands...

As an aside to this it is interesting that both Fev and Richo rate Max Hudgton as the best full-back they've played on, yet the Saints can't fit him in to their best 22, does that suggest they don't rate any of the Cat's, Bulldogs', or Pies' key forwards.. (I don't either incidentally)

I doubt this is really an issue -- I'd be more concerned (and i think he would too) about the perceived lack of respect for a peer.

What he said was negligible really in the end, after he tripped over his words to make amends...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
