Brad Miller today

Featured Replies

Posted

As a Melbourne supporter I was disappointed to hear the boos and jeers directed a Brad Miller today from some of the Melbourne fraternity. It wasn't his choice to leave the MFC and good on him for getting the opportunity to continue his AFL career. I wish him luck in the future.

 

i didn't listern or watch the game but if that the case then thats a friggen disgrace!

Disgraceful. He gave us his all when he was with us in trying times. That his all wasn't quite good enough is no fault of his and I'm glad Richmond gave him another chance.

Brad always put in when he was a Demon. Poor form from the booing minority. Good luck Brad.

I think any booing was done by a very small minority.

I followed his game today, and heard no booing, but just a few bronx cheers when he fluffed it (a few times)!!!

I for one hope when he finishes his career he'll come back to us and provide some sort of a role I think he will

offer a lot coaching wise.

Just rubbing the hands for some father/son action imagine the possibilities

Best of luck Brad I met and had a chat to you after an intra club down at Casey and you will never meet a better bloke.

Had plenty of time for kids and autographs as well.

all the best.

 

I heard them too, and it was disappointing, but it always seems to happen. Every time an ex-player turns up the morons boo him. I would only expect that kind of behaviour from the crowd if a player not only chose to leave us, but bagged us as he went. Then it would be fair enough for people to express their displeasure. But people have tiny minds and choose to behave negatively whenever they have a choice. Unfortunately, our supporters are no different from anyone else.


I didn't hear any booing, a bit of a jeer when he missed a goal at the city end, but no more than any other player gets. I've actually enjoyed watching Brad play at Richmond this year, considering he was over with us. Have met him a few times and as most who have, can endorse the comments he is a top bloke.

Didnt notice anything on Foxtel.... I think it comes down to the fact that many (at every club) feel its the norm these days to boo former players regardless of whether their departure was amicable or controversial. It's unfortunate if Red n Blue boys behaved this way, but as I said, on the telly it appeared he coped nothing more than anyone else in a Tiger strip.

...should add that the only reason my comments stem from a pay-tv vantage is because I'm not in Melbourne. Would have loved to have been there today. Dees were great to watch.


I too didn't notice it on the box, but if true then the people doing it need to hang their heads in shame. Miller served us well, and always tried his guts out. He was a great ambassador for the club and a nice bloke to boot. And anyone questioning his loyalty needs to remember him turning down a chance to play an AFL game so that he could play with the scorps in the finals. Selfless effort. We were the ones who let him go, so pull ur heads in and give a good bloke, and good servant a break.

I think it's just a case of "he's the enemy now" mentality. Doubt anyone has anything against Brad personally.

I didn't boo him btw... but jeered when he missed that kick in the 3rd. I actually think he's been playing pretty well this year for the Toigs.

I only boo Scott Thompson and the Wizz. Loved him... Hated him.

Miller was hopeless today, we should've all been cheering.

Loved the dropped mark when they were building momentum, and the turnover.

I didn't boo him, but couldn't care less who did. I'm just glad we're not wasting time and positions with stupid stop-gap pick ups like Brad Miller.

Look at the experience Watts and Howe are getting, Miller is just delaying that sort of development for a Richmond kid, for that I'm grateful.

I did not boo him, but did laugh almost every time he had the pill, ribbing the richmond supporter beside me. Glad he's not taking games from youngings at the dees. Lovely guy though.


Didn't hear any booing in the AFL members' area. Poor bloke tried his guts out when he was a demon and was loved by his teammates

I heard some boos. Didn't boo him myself, but did have a good old cheer at his expense a few times.

Didn't hear a single boo myself.

I think there's been a misunderstanding, the boos were for Tom Scully, not Miller.

Hope I've cleared that up and we can get on with being Melbourne supporters.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    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?

      • Thanks
