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.

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
