- Was Casey's most important player towards the end of the season. Only played six games, the highlight coming when he kicked five goals against Port Adelaide mid-year. Has already been delisted - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

    Shame it has come to this, but it was inevitable.

    Whatever the reason (back injuries have been mentioned), Miller has not been able to live up to the early expectations of him.

    Gave his all but was never able to deliver in the way that we needed.

    His professionalism and leadership have been outstanding considering the way he came in and out of the side.

    From here on out, whether he takes a gig at another club or not, he should be regarded with the utmost respect by all demons supporters.

    A good honest tryer. If only he could make better and quicker decisions once he got the ball...

    Coming from QLD and a competition that was not the same standard as those in other states - he was recruited because of his leadership potential. In that regard he is a champion. Unfortunately for whatever reason, he was not able to reach the standard required. Maybe the expectation, re improvement of skills, was too high when drafted.

    A great guy with a lot of integrity.

    I wish him good luck with whatever he chooses to do in the future.

    Those expectations were entirely spectator driven though, that's the worst thing. Given that he was taken at pick 55 I really doubt the FD were expecting greatness, despite the fact that Daniher was clearly a fan. On that basis I'd say the club more than got its money worth, and I find it hard to be disappointed at all really.

    As you said E - he appears to be very highly regarded by the club for his professionalism and leadership. Couple that with making it to 100 games and he can hold his head up high for mine. Well done Brad.

    Sadly Brad never learnt to kick properly..if he had been a good kick i am sure his confidence would have grown.

    A Top Bloke Brad and the type of guy who just might be back at the club one day as a coach-He was highly respected within by all.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
