Jamar and Miller Signed to Dees

[Armitage Shanks 0]

Herald Sun just reported that Miller and Jamar have both signed 1 year deals with the MFC.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

How does Miller do it? Really, just how does he do it.

[Red and Blue Bloke 20]

1 Year? Anything to do with GC17?

[Armitage Shanks 0]

I'm with you Deestroy All....

The guy simply cannot play and if he is worth anything right now may be worth zilch by this time next year.

My first thought exactly. They've got a year to become mainstays of the team or become mainstays of the news GC side.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

1 year is very odd!

I understand the Gold Cost scenario on our behalf, but why would a player agree to a 1 year deal?

Unless of course Miller has his heart set on going back to QLD.

Jamar on a 1 year extension is weird.

HAPPY WITH THIS

Both have to perform next yr

could have almost signed miller for 2 then flogged him to GC next yr

1 year is odd. Jamar should have got 2. Maybe he wants to keep his GC options open.

[WonnaJurah 5]

future GC captain maybe

[pitmaster 3,513]

Leaves Miller placed to be our out of contract offering to GC next year should that need arise.

If he has a blinder of a season, we might regret it. More likely, we will like it.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Jamar has only looked like a decent footballer this year, I've been his biggest critic, but this year he has really shown something.

1 year sounds good to me, keep playing like this, prove it's no fluke, and get a better contract at the end of it / or/ improve his market value even more.

If he goes back to being Donuts, then we aren't locked into anything.

he'll definitely be our uncontracted player that ends up at gold coast (if they want him)...knowing our luck, he'll show something next year

or ricky petterd. both qland boys

[JACKATTACK 17]

Miller 1 year is a good result for us and for Miller. Glad he is staying too, despite his abilities.

Jamar 1 year, seems strange to me.

[alpha33 309]

Jamar, Miller re-sign

just happened

[Old Gregg 1]

WTF???

I hope they know what they're doing here. If we sign Miller and then keep Newton as well....surely not.

First post today, a pleasant surprise - awesome new site skin!!

Newton is contracted for another year, which is exactly why a 1 year deal for Miller is a very smart move.

Don't need to be locked into longer-term contracts with borderline best 22 players.

Miller has a role to play off the field, and maybe on it as well, depending on injuries and the development of Watts in 2010. We lose nothing by giving him 1 year, as he would have netted us nothing in trade week.

[deeflog 679]

Interesting they are both one year contracts, that smells of Miller to GC17 to me.

We were stuffed next year if we did not resign Jamar, surprised he did not get at least a 2 year deal

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

How does Miller do it? Really, just how does he do it.

EVERYTHING to do with GC. Miller has to put himself in line for the best money he can get. The trouble is, just because they CAN take him doesn't mean they WILL.

The Jamar one is of more concern. Only one has to sacrifice themselves to GC. Jamar on one year perhaps is just agreed upon so that he knows next year's trade period (which could be EQUALLY as busy) will see his name floated again.

[beelzebub 23,313]

interesting .. Had heard Russian was to sign for 2 , wonder how and why he agrred t one at Melbourne when he could have easily got 2-3 at Port ? Strange days indeed

right on the money with that one Jaded

LOL @ 1 year extensions.

My thoughts. However, all player managers were on notice by GC to have their players leave their options open for next year, I think it's a good move on both sides. It could indicate the Dees topping up with a pick from GC next year.

Both player & club.

If he has a blinder of a season, we might regret it. More likely, we will like it.

If he has a blinder, maybe the latter.

Miller 1 year is a good result for us and for Miller. Glad he is staying too, despite his abilities.

Jamar 1 year, seems strange to me.

Agree on both counts.

[Jarka 767]

Good result for Melbourne. Also good for Jamar, he should back himself to have a good season next year to get a better contract or to be picked up by GC17.

[Viney Vidi Vici 145]

don't complain! means we're not locked down next year. Wonder what we'll be saying/seeing in a years time...
