Cheynee Stiller

another 100 gamer, extra competiion for spots, bring it on

[MadAsHell 4,212]

Would be happy with Stiller. Certainly the Ray type that we were after.

Running half back flank who can also play off a wing. Spreads well and is a pretty good kick.

Not sure if he's capable of playing a tagging role like Ray is but he'd certainly be a welcome inclusion in my book.

Would certainly add competition for spots with the likes of Strauss, Nicholson, Bail etc..

Brad Miller played 130 gams at the Dees....

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Brad Miller played 130 gams at the Dees....

yeah and Judd played 134 for West Coast - neither he or Brad Miller have the slightest thing to with Stiller

[CBDees 3,167]

From memory, don't we have six spot and two rookie spots to fill? Certainly there is enough room to take him as a player capable of immediate impact (c.f. Lucas Cook or Jai Sheehan)!

[old55 23,546]

We've got a lot of back-line options - particularly with the addition of Dawes and Pedersen, the retention of Sellar appears to be as KPD depth (and I'm in favour of this)

B: Bartram Frawley Garland

HB: Dunn McDonald Watts

B: Nicholson Davis Macdonald

HB: Tynan Sellar Strauss

4 PL, 2 RL.

I would say 4 and 49 and 53 will definitely be apart of the additions.

People can make their opinions on whether there are more deletions to come.

good call.

He was a supporter as a kid...

I was a supporter as a kid too and I bleed red and blue - but I havent got a right foot

They rhyme??

If you need me to point it out to you 100 games of miller vs 100 games of Judd aren't exactly the same thing......

Now Stiller on the other hand...

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

I would much rather see us play Rodan, Pederson and Stiller than some zero-game 18 year olds taken in the last handful of the draft. They are our options. Maybe there are some fringe players, say Bail, for example, that might miss out because these older blokes are in - I say that is fine, let them earn their spots. It appears that the Bailey philosophy of 'get them out there straight away and play them no matter what, they will grow into it' (a mantra endorsed by most here with 'play the kids' catch-cries)' has been an abject failure. A colossal disaster, in fact. The older group of recruits can provide experience and physical presence, even if they aren't much good. Neeld is clearly putting an end to the era of the baby demons, after many brutal beltings from more experienced, bigger sides.

correct, 3 different players. Cale Morton was pick 4 too, does that mean whoever we draft at 4 this year is going to wash out with zero impact in 5 years? I think not... because they are different players.

[Alcho Dee 269]

So what? Moloney, Judd etc

Franklin, WINES.

I like the fact stiller was a melbourne supporter as a kid.

Perhaps he belongs with us!!

**sigh** - you do know that Moloney was a mad Melbourne supporter as well ?

[Wilson7 2,668]

He has retired, will not be training at Melbourne.

AFL stops for Stiller

[stingrays 24]

After 100 games of AFL footy has he found that training at MFC is too much under Neeld?

Don't think we lose, either way.

[darkhorse72 1,916]

Good to see the standard and expectation was set high...

[Sir Why You Little 37,033]

Bye....

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Thank goodness he told us before we drafted him. Good luck Shiny.

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

Good on him for calling it early.

[Demonland 72,155]

Lucky I hadn't finished photoshopping him into the Demonland Banner for 2013.

[This Dangerous 93]

I think Melbourne looks pretty good out of this.

Cheynee Stiller comes down from Brisbane.

He endures a handfull of brutal training sessions with Melbourne.

Rather than risk getting drafted and facing a season of this fitness regime, he retires.

Go Dees!

[NorwoodDemon 20]

i thought he left because he has a baby on the way and the move would be too much not because the the dee's training is too much.

Yes, that is the correct reason... but you should be aware that if a player says "no" to the MFC, then it will be viewed as an affront to the club and its supporters on the forums ;-)

Is that the correct or politically correct reason? With a baby on the way I would have thought an AFL salary would be a good thing.

Anyway...at least he got cold feet early and didn't take a spot on the list what ever the reason.
