Pavlich isn't that bad....just cos he's Freo....

hahaha....

I think it's a fair move all round.

For Miller it's good, if he finally has his break out season in 2010, as opposed to his break out three games here, two games there and so on, then he can be re-signed and will get a generous deal. If he has another so-so year, then 2010 would be just about the best possible year to be going into the pre-season draft, given the presence of a new club with an interest in a few mature bodies. He won't be brought in as a star, but would be a useful presence. Even the Gold Coast will have a need for the 'good ordinary' players and they wont be keen to spend their first two or three years getting pummelled because they have talented kids and only a few 'star recruit' mature players.

From our perspective, it would be nice to get some kind of draft pick in return, but the first priority has to be to get through this Gold Coast introduction with minimum disruption to the mighty team we have assembled.

I'm more worried about Jamar also being place on a one-year deal. Overall the story is roughly the same, and many here don't rate him very highly, but he is structurally quite important now.

Finally, I'm feeling grubbier and grubbier talking about players as commodoties like this, I think I'll have to start signing off with a disclaimer like -

'I have real respect for the players discussed, my points are related only to the specific needs of the Club'

I like Miller.... I like his aggression and attitude..... He is good for the youngsters at the club.....

As long as they close their eyes and put earplugs in when he is trying to teach them to kick for goals!

Millers "aggression"has been long lost

he saves it for the bedroom, not the field.
