Brad Miller's retirement

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Disingenuous to say the least.

A little grace occasionally would not kill you

Adjective: Not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

i saw every game he played for us and him in the bests about 5 times. That's just a statement of fact. What I call disingeneous is rewriting history because a bloke has retired. Will go down on a long, long list of game-sponges that have occupied our list over the years. Hopefully Neeld will not allow waht his predeccosrs did

Who is rewriting history? Nothing has been said so far that even stretched the truth.

old dee might've used the wrong word but I fully agree with his sentiment; learn a bit about context and when it's appropriate to spill your guts and when it's appropriate to be quiet and respectful.

Seriously Bud leave it out, if your going to have a go at Miller just don't post on the thread.

To Brad, 150 game player a lot to be said for that an achievment in itself, great club man who went out of his way with supporters and kids on any occassion I had dealings with him.

Always welcome back at the club, best of luck to you Brad in retirement

[whatwhat say what 22,770]

well done on a career that few have had.

interesting to hear robbo on 360 say he liked melbourne, but he loves richmond.

if he had been able to kick more than 35m he would've made a very good footballer.

[angrydee 842]

Gave his all - can't ask for more than that. 150 games with his talent says a lot about the man.

[monoccular 17,431]

Well done Brad - a great club man and his never say die efforts are an example to many with greater skills.

It would be interesting to see just how things would have rolled out with different coaching and different definitions of his role. He showed even this year that when he decided / was instructed to take a kick instead of looking for the hand off every time he could actually kick goals.

I have a feeling though that you would give your left nut for just one game (good or bad)

Don't be such an ungracious [censored]

[H_T 3,047]

All the best for Brad after footy.

Will never forget his goal that Jimmy marked sitting in the cheer squad.

Won't be forgetting Pia in a hurry either....

[Hatchman 539]

Was one of my favourite players

If only others with a lot more talent and skill in our team had his fearlessness and hardness we'd not be in the state we are in now. I'll never forget the way he took it right up to guys like Hall, Crowley etc... when he played, the guy could not be intimidated.

Onya Brad, you gave your all for the club and I respect that immensely.

[timD 994]

with supporters like you, that have such high standards of acceptable worth, I wonder why we have had such a terrible 6 years

It is grasping at straws to suggest that the football team has been bad because of the judgement of supporters. That is just magical thinking gaga nonsense.

Trying to defend yourself by bagging others when you've been smarmy without cause just adds to your online character nicely.

Notice the difference in the way brad is treated in this thread and the way you are. Take you time.

Just sayin'.

And I am being disengenuous.

[jurrahcane 70]

Great bloke Brad Miller.

on field, gave his best and was a good footballer, who played a role down back or fwd

off field, he always had time to say Hi and was good with the kids at clinics and family days

I hope he remembers Melbourne FC for the mates, supporters and the good times on the field, and not the "ending" being delisted.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

150 games, 5 good ones

No player could achieve 150 senior games having played only 5 good ones. Surely that's self evident.

Or are you saying the AFL is still a bush league competition?

Ordinary post.

[jane02 3,748]

Well done Brad - you were always a favorite of mine. From a female perspective (as many of the guys here are commenting on Pia) he was very easy on the eye and having met him - a tremendous bloke.

[Biffen 12,943]

Good servant of the club and showed good leadership .

Made the most of his talent and went in hard.

Well Done Millertime!

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Over-achieved for a pick 55.

Good looking bloke (not that there is anything wrong with saying that.....), but also perhaps punching above his weight matrimonially!

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

can't wait to read the 'matthew bate retires' thread in about 2 years - I love you Bate you always gave your all, played some great games, we lost 99% of them, but thanks anyway

You're clearly a fool. When a player retires most want to thank the player for their efforts. Most players give their all. Their perceived value is subjective opinion.

Only a [censored] pans them as they're saluting.

You haven't changed have you Stakka; still the same jerk from Demonology.

[w00dy 146]

he took 14 marks at centre half forward in a losing final against Freo in 2006 at Subi... That's the game I'll always remember... Congrats on a good career, I think we'd all be happy to achieve what he did in his career...

Why don't you just delete your post.

This is a thread about a past player who did his best to represent us & never shirked the hard stuff that some higher profile players have done regularly.

Brads never done anything but try to help this club, & has been a great servant.

Theres a time to be a critic, & theres a time to show respect & humility.

I'd like to see how you go at a friends funeral if you ever have to speak.

[Dee_Flower 53]

It's surprising no one has mentioned his most famous game, when he played on Barry Hall at the SCG.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

most of you burn a lot of calories slamming our current players, even the young ones, but there's a lot of room in your hearts for a player that vastly underperformed and essentially left us a KPP short for a very long time. There was less love for the retirements of the likes of Yze, Bruce, Robertson and White - who actually performed for our club. FCS Miller seems to be more popular than Moloney, who has finished in the top 4 of our BnF three times and is a current player. Hypocrisy and stupidity at its highest
