Hopefully we'll see her around the club as much as possible! Oh and it's great Brad's back also, hopefully with no hard feelings?

Were you expecting Leigh Matthews or something? I was surprised too, but these development coach positions all seem to be filled by low profile/inexperienced coaches. What say we give the bloke a chan

I too am bemused at some of the comments. Miller reeks of leadership, which is why he was mooted as a potential captain and showed his class when he led the way with Trisha Broadbridge rebuilding the

Cant believe the carping and sniping on this forum has started already. Surely you must give PJ and Roos some credit that they know what they are doing. You dont have to be a gun player to be a good

I don't know how to react to this to be honest.

I'm happy that blokes who were burnt in years past are making peace with the club. (Though I didn't mind Millsy being moved on. He had been at the club for 8-9 years and wasn't going to get any better. People did say though he had leadership ability. It was just when Junior was given his marching orders that our clean out of club leaders was complete).

I'm nervous about former club employees coming back as we all saw how that ended up last time.

I will trust that Roos has done this for the best of reasons (i.e. he is the best man for the job).

Is this the same Brad Miller that everyone usesd to love to payout?

Is this good news?

An inexperienced coach? And was no star

Sorry to be negative but it is strange.

He must have good characteristics and I guess coaches have to start somewhere.

Do we really need four threads for this?

I think that Miller was a player that got the most out of himself......A good honest player...not a great player.....I think he might be good to show our young blokes how to get the best out of themselves

Just a thought....

omg tell me this is isn't happening

What say we give the bloke a chance before we pan him, given that being the best player has never been a prerequisite for being a good coach.

Cant believe the carping and sniping on this forum has started already. Surely you must give PJ and Roos some credit that they know what they are doing. You dont have to be a gun player to be a good coach you need to be smart, a good comunicator and a motivational leader. For what its worth Miller was and is a quality person who obviously, in Roos eyes has those qualities and I thought the team always looked better with him in it even if it didn't show in his stats. It wasn't just the loss of Jnr that left the club bereft of leaders. You can include, Miller, Green, Bartram and Bruce in that list as well.

Great to see Brad back at the club and I thnk he has the potential under Roos to become a very good coach.

PS looking forward to seeing Pia at the B&F

Given that he was a mediocre to average footballer, maybe he's there for relatability with most of our list. :)

Maybe he's also the succession recipient!!!! :) :)

Having inexperienced coaches isn't an issue per se. It's just when they have to carry loads they aren't able to do so. There is an example recently at our club of this and I'm not going to get into a p***ing match about that individual so I will leave it there.

I like the idea of Brett Allison and Roos at the club as they clearly have a lot of experience and will be able to pick up some of the slack if the newbies struggle (especially in the case of Roos). The problem before was that Craigy was the only experienced bloke amongst them and he wasn't even senior coach. When he was made senior coach, the horse had bolted and all he could do was try to resort to damage control.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
