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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
