    A few goal assists, but not overly dangerous - looks to me like he's really bulked up and lost a yard or two. Macdonald had him well covered, as did Rivers when he played on him.

    He was 'serviceable'

    Exactly where ge should have played for us, instead of deep, where he was hopeless

    pretty sure he tackled a richmond player at one stage, let go of it straight away but i got a good laugh off it

    Miller was a great lead up forward with great hands who after marking would rocket a handball at a player 2 meters away, needed more subtlety.

    Most of the jeering was from Richmond supporters. They do not like him. They whinge about the same stuff we did (doesn't get involved, too slow, can't kick etc.).

    I like the man, but he still can't play football.

    Didn't hear anyone boo him, but any Melbourne supporters who did should be ashamed of themselves.

    Miller gave his absolute best to our club for many years, was a leader and highly respected and loved by everyone. He was sad to leave the club, and I'm thrilled for him that he has found another opportunity elsewhere.

    Where these moronic 'hard feelings' come from, I have no idea. He is not a great player, but he is a star human being and deserves a minimal level of decency and respect.

    Saddens me to see Brad out there in a Richmond jumper. From all I heard he is a Top Bloke. However, I understand the reasons from both sides.

    Anyway come "home" soon Brad ... I know your mum might not be too happy about that ... but such is life. However, you will always be welcome at the "MFC family" club. At least... what we say is what we do ... unlike some clubs. That say one thing and do another ... never forget they would eat their own if they had the chance. (Tambo says Hi)

    Go Dees

    PS Dont forget to memorise "Dimmas" game plan.

    List clogger.

    I definitely think he had no future with us, but as a stop gap player whilst we were busy drafting better forwards I think he played best leading up from half forward. Especially since this saved all us fans the agony of watching him butchering almost every set shot.

    Well I stood on the ground level at the Richmond end with all the feral Richmond supporters and the only people yelling abuse at Miller were the Richmond fans. They hate him. It was pathetic to listen to.... But then again, thats what Richmond supporters are like.

    Much more concerned about the booing for Scully. I was in the MCC and one person behind me kept booing Scully every time he got a kick. Simply this is disgraceful behaviour; it is also incredibly dumb and embarrassing.

    I hope the MCC tapped him on the shoulder. I periodically get tapped on the shoulder for barracking too hard, that being the yard stick this guy should have been kicked out.

    He mostly played up the ground for us...

    I musn't have seen it then

    Actually 2009 or 08 or whenever his decent year was he did play up half forward more, but I never saw anything like that again as I always saw him playing deep and just playing rubbish.

    He played the majority of his footy as a lead-up option.

    I'm sure many Demons fans will regale you with tales of Miller pushing up the wing, taking a mark and handballing to a bloke a metre away from him.

    • 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?
