I don't agree- I think he is in form- need height in the forward line- worth a try.Drop Bennell for Miller.

Yep. Let's drop a highly talented young player in decent form- a player who the club has publically said it wants to get as many AFL games into as possible, as quickly as possible- in favor of a guy who will be delisted at the end of the year. That's gonna do our long-term prospects no end of good.

    If we want height then PJ at 199cm should do it.

    If you mean marking options I dont think Miller adds much to the markeing ability of Jurrah, Green, Watts and Sylvia while detracting the potential speed in our forward line. Bringing Miller in causes imbalance.

    This is my gripe and I just have to say......

    The way Brad Miller is discussed and denigrated on this site is at times nothing short of a disgrace.

    In my opinion Brad is a honest and hard working player who is well admired by his peers and the FD at our club.

    Really some of your comments are just plain childish. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Brad was pick 55 after all.

    You must all be such an amazing bunch of high achievers to think that the merits of Brad Miller compare so low to yourselves.

    Yes I am annoyed but anyone who does his best in the Red and Blue as Brad does, should not be spoken about in this manner...

    So I guess it is Brad's fault he was drafted to play for the MFC and also our clubs fault for continuing to employ him...

    My oh my what is the world coming too..........

    Yeah, I see watt you mean, but IMO the problem is Miller doesn't really play tall. However he has been effective on occaisions Deep, in recent times, surprisingly to me.

    So you'd move Sylvia to the flank & Miller to the goal square. The balance feels alright.

    I'd like to agree with you but I'm not sure to what degree you mean, as I've had both good & not so flattering things to say.

    I'm a fan of any Dees player who gives all for the jumper & I have great respect for Brad. I've wanted to keep him @ the club, acknowledging his limitations going forward with a developing list.

    I've seen many posts that I find off putting, talking about his family & such. Just not on in my mind.

    Anyhow, well put for saying your piece & standing up for the right thing. cheers 'demonglory'.

    The club has a heap of respect for Brad. I didnt mean to sound so blunt, I was just passing on the news that he wont be at the club next year. He has no plans to head to the Gold Coast either. If he's not picked up by another Vic club he will play VFL or local footy.

    I'm taking you on your word and have no reason to disbelieve you.

    Thank-you for posting this. I'm really glad to hear "The club has a heap of respect for Brad."

    IMHO its critical all elements of our club learn to respect our boys.

    Thank-you again.

    The Club does have a heap of respect for Brad indeed.

    Brad has known where he stands at MFC for quite some time. The Club has handled this well.

    And my information is that he wont be going to the GC when his contract expires at MFC and that he will play footy locally in Victoria.

    Its not about the fwd line. Its all about the midfield. The pressure they put on and the ball they can get I50. Our I50 numbers are poor and it ain't the fwds that are the problem - they are actually very efficient.

    Everyone here waxes lyrical about our midfield but that stats don't lie. They have a long way to go. Plenty of potential but they are our problem at the moment.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
