Deeboys sharp shooters.

"Spare a thought for Sydney's Lewis Jetta, who has kicked 15 straight behinds in his first season of AFL football, and to sink the boots in even more, has had three shots that have missed altogether.

So which Demons players have converted well this year? Brad Miller (71%), Ricky Petterd (67%) and Matthew Bate (59%) have been good in front of goal thus far, while Brad Green has had 52 shots at goal for a return of 29.20 and a 56% scoring conversion.

Converting from set shots still remains the most important part of scoring,"

Is Millsy getting better than we give credit for?

We need more supply.

i think miller isnt that bad

i think he just needs to take more shots on goal

he is getting the best defender from each team every week when he isnt our best forward

if we had a good forward player like brown or someone he would then get the 2nd or maybe even the 3rd best defender which would work in his favour!

but thats the way i see it

Miller had 1 kick last week. i don't care who he is playing on he is simply not good enough.

Miller's stats are skewed by the Port Adelaide game. If you were to ignore that effort, his accuracy is terrible. Also, he hasn't kicked enough goals for the primary forward in the team.

Going completely by perception here, but out of those blokes I'd say Miller easily has the most shots from inside 25 metres.

We would want to have pretty handy conversion statistics.......we don't shoot at goal very often!!

Show me just the raw total shots at goal for each team.....wouldn't be pretty

Brad Miller is among the better shots at goal when he's in his range and at a decent angle. Rest of th time he dishes off, which is the appropriate team thing to do and helps make his own accuracy look better!

His set shot accuracy and overall work-ethic are two things that aren't generally questioned. But he just has so, so little impact, so often.

He's kicked ten goals, three behinds from his six games this year.

He's also averaging less than ten disposals, the majority of which are handballs, less than five marks, and just a tick over a tackle a game.

We were all querying his usefulness at the end of last year (to put it mildly) and he is now having clearly his worst year since he was a teenager, way back in 2003.

Oh crap, sorry, turned it into a Miller commentary. DO NOT RESPOND. NO, DO NOT RESPOND. THAT MEANS YOU! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT NOBODY RESPONDS TO THIS COMMENT OR WE'LL BE HERE TIL OCTOBER.
