Brad Miller's retirement


hardtack

Recommended Posts

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

I remember meeting his aunty at a BBQ when he just started and I thought he would be the next Gary Lyon.

She was pretty hot looking too.

Should be a Miller/Miranda Father/son coming through to seal another 5000 female members in 15 years or so.

Brad might have been pretty but he never shirked it.

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

No, you just have no class.

If you started a thread discussing the merits of him as a footballer I'd give you a straight forward assessment. But you don't understand that there's a time and a place. As I said, no class.

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...

Yes he was good that night I was there and with the side we had we performed well, I had a beer with Brad and a young Jonesy that night after the game and Brad was great with all the Dees fans in the Subiaco social club. Chris Fagan wanted to rush off to the Casino with the rest of the players waiting on the bus but Brad spoke with as many people as he could despite holding the rest of the boys up for their end of season drink

One of my favourite players, despite his limited abilities......

I congratulate him for making the most of those, thank him for his service to the Dees, and wish him all the best in his future.

Are you kidding?

Miller played a more physically committed game for us than any of those. He probably played closer to an honest styled game & gave closer to his all than them.

They may have been More gifted but less committed & desire to do team things like chase & tackle, pump weights off field, train hard etc.

He was a better leader than them.

So they were more skilled & had more talent, but yet let us down.

Our problem wasn't our so called depth. It was our Good players, didn't work hard enough & also lead in the right way. To set a Strong Culture for kids to follow, winning ways were not theres.

Miller gave his best.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
