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.

For those interested in the Northern Footy League, I've heard that Brad has signed on for Heidelberg next season. Looking forward to watching him (if the rumour is true).

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
