One touch per 40 minutes will at least keep his turnover count down.

    a great clubman, but as far as on field stuff goes, can't say im disappointed to see him in yellow and black

    Our forward line will rely on quick play, punishing kicking and just a hint of freakishness.............

    Miller has none of these qualities. I saw a little last night that was very good to see.

    Richmond on the other hand, have nothing.

    Actually, I may have jumped the gun a little. He was great in the first few minutes, instrumental in their first goal with some really strong body work off the ball, but did nothing after in either of their games.

    A bit harsh on the Tigers who had nowhere near their best side on the park.

    Brad Miller is a mature age rookie. The expectations for him at Tigerland won't be too great.

    Whilst I wish him all the best, it's still good to see we're not missing much.

    But we are missing his missus :wub:

    Given that their second highest goalkicker got 15 last year I think he'll go alright as a second/third banana in their forward line, especially with Hardwick saying Riewoldt might spend more time further up the ground.

    Problem will be actually getting the ball down there in the first place.

    I was watching and I couldn't help hoping Miller would do well.He didn't do a lot, but I can't help feeling he'll be a worthwhile contributor.

    Similarly, I couldn't help hoping the 2 Collingwood Demons(Simon Buckley and Ben Sinclair...."son of Porky") would shine. They didn't do too badly!

    Miller was rookied to act in a mentor role more than a playing role. I think he will be good at this.

    Buckley got a fair bit of it, but decision making and kicking were poor. I expect he will be delisted at end of year. Don't know where Sinclair fits in to anything.

    Thought Cheney was good in the early game tonight for Hawks agin WCE. May well make it with the hawks.

    Cheney did look good but there was doubting his ability but more the fact on where he was in the pecking order...

    Miller looked like a different player for Richmond- a worse one. It is a bit haunting to see him in no.13, Jordan McMahon's old number. The first reason is cos it won't bring him much luck at the Tigers, the second reason is in the game McMahon kicked that goal I remember Miller was moved into the ruck and the midfield, the biggest give away that we were tanking. Since he's a rookie I doubt he'll get a game for the Tigers.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
