I doubt it will happen.

Slow news day and in this GC-tinged climate it's easy to whip people into a free-agent frenzy based on little fact and a lot of speculation.

Good luck to him if he does go, though.

Assume we get no compensation because we announced we're delisting him?

What would the compensation have been that we could miss out on? A pick at the end of round 5? Not losing any sleep over it personally.

We (the FD/Recruiters) would have had a fair idea as to what compensation we would receive. Personally, to keep Miller to receive this draft pick would have been humilitating to the man when he realises what he is actually worth.

Harsh but true.

Hardly a scoop and very much old news.

And unless something has changed in the past 4 weeks I dont think Miller will go due to settled interests here in Melbourne.

Actually I heard he was keen to go to Sydney (town) due to potential interests up there.

And I would have thought that any forthcoming contract at any club would be well received by Miller. 5050 he'll end up somewhere I would say. I hope he does, ripper bloke.

If Miller does end up signing with the Suns, then one positive for the MFC will be the fact that they won't be able to poach any of our other uncontracted players for free (well, before the AFL compensation anyway)... assuming we still have others uncontracted at present, that is...

Given we've already announced Miller's delisting, it would be a great result for the club when you consider the likes of Campbell Brown, Rischitelli, Bock etc who have all gone to the GC and their clubs will receive little in return.

Best of luck to Brad Miller. He's been a wonderful contributor to the club, always gave his all. I hope he gets another chance up north and I think he could still be a handy AFL player.

If the Suns do take Miller, it could turn out quite well for us.

He is an uncontracted player, so by the compensation rule we would have to receive a pick in return for them taking him.

Even the worst band is still a 3rd round draft pick, from memory.

We would be able to hang onto that until a deeper draft and use it in a year when we want to take more players.

Pretty handy in return for a bloke we were sending off into retirement.

SEN twitter indicates Miller may go to the Suns.

Best of luck to him. Imagine it would be a fairly easy decision for them. Relatively cheap, give him a couple of years.

They should hang about a bit, they can have Newton as well.

Miller will be a great leader to the young kids over at GC, from some of the Casey reports Miller was a great leader/role model to the young kids including Jack Watts. I hope he does well if he decides to move to GC.

Does anyone really care? He is not longer a Melbourne player, and the team obviously didn't want to risk signing him and not being able to find a trade, so they delisted. Couldn't care where he ends up.

He's not delisted - yet. He just wont be offered a new contract. IF GC want him and they don't want any other MFC OOC player then they can take him in their set of OOC players and we get compensation. If they want him, it's no cost to them - they don't supply the pick, the AFL does - otherwise they have to draft him or trade for him.

you make it sound like you have no understanding of the rules involved with signing and trading players.

I can confirm the Suns have interest in Miller and will probably take him.

I don't think we will be compensated as he is already delisted, further we could still lose another player to the Suns for the same reason.

He is not yet delisted.

Even if we were compensated, it'd likely be after the third round at the very, VERY earliest... which is a pick we wouldn't use anyway.

Maybe not this year.

But at some stage in the next 5 years we may come across a particularly deep draft in which we intend to use a handful of

picks and this could be quite handy.

Especially considering we weren't expecting to get anything, we merely weren't going to offer Brad a new contract.

Contracts run out end of October so all players are still contracted. Miller could in fact start training with the group next month. All players including Bell, Miller and Junior are heading to China. He may yet play one last game for the dees.

Would love to see millsy play in china.....that would be a cool send off. Brad is a good bloke so i wish him all the best.

Yes, I do like to hear stories like this.

If they are included on the trip it is a sign of respect, and perhaps a sign that the FD treats its players quite well, even when on the outer.

It is all part of building a good club culture, one that will make players want to play for us.

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res
