Brad, and more impotantly Pia Miller are returning to Melbourne!

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-09-23/miller-returns-to-demons

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?

 

Miller returns to Demons

welcome back Pia :)

Brad comes in as a development coach. Welcome back Brad.

 

Sweet! I was always under the impression he was a pretty switched on guy and he seemed to have a pretty good footy brain when he played. Glad to have you back Brad!

IMO he should never have gone.

My guess is Pia!


OMG...really?!?..I hope he turns out a better coach than player.

Surely there was better available or poachable....Great that he was a Demons man and all but...Guess we will find out..

Roos must see something.

 

Wow, didn't see that coming, but I always had a lot of time for Miller so this is great news.

Welcome back Brad!

I've always thought of Brad Miller and Chris Dawes as very similar people and players. I rate Chris Dawes as a future senior coach; so given that, I'd expect Brad Miller to be a pretty good coach as well.

I like it!


Former Best on Red Carpet WAG.

Is back where she belongs.

Now we have someone to show the young fillies what Glam is all about

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).

Welcome back Brad. His father coached state under age teams up here in QLD. It's in his blood!

lol what the hell

has he coached before?? THis is pretty shocking news

anyway

WELCOME BACK PIA!


we can only hope he brings the same level of quality and success that he did in 5 of his 157 games for the club

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

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

well all our new coaches can't be highly experienced and expensive

we need (afford) a mix

roos and others must have seen something in him

move on and give him a chance

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!!!! :) :)

 

Brad comes with great accessories.

PIA :wub::wub:

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
