No Miller, instant win!


snarler

Recommended Posts

Yep, this thread is exactly what I expected from people around here, unfortunately.......

It was unbelievably sad when Miller was being held single handedly responsible for all those losses (even the ones we probably should have won) when he was one of the few who was working their ass off in a losing side at the beginning of the year, and now this.

So if we had snuck over the line last week what would have been peoples response then? We won in spite of him? Never mind I know that answer.

Bate was very good, but performed the same role, just a little better, right down to some of the hand balling manoeuvre's everyone here [censored] Miller out about.

I thought that Sylvia was also great but the win is nothing more than a coincidence, especially after the last few weeks of very close losses.

Whether he is the answer at CHF is definitely a question for the club, but seriously for once in your lives, just for once leave him alone.

If and when he plays again then judge him then, don't beat him up for not being there.

Unfortunately Miller has become the guy demon supporters love to bag. Last wk demonologists were calling for his head despite teh fact the entire side played three shocking qs of footy. But from the ruble they decided it was mainly Brad's fault...

A few weeks in people were saying the same crap about Bate - never mind the fact he was in his second year and still had a lot to learn. No one's bitching now. People seem to want instant coffee adn get peturbed by anything that might take a bit longer.

As far as Miller is concerned though - some time in Sandy would probably do him some good, get the confidence right (something Melbourne fans probably didn't help the other week as they bronx cheered him every time he got the ball).

Don't reckon anyone can question his endevor though.

All you have to ask is "is Miller the answer to CHF"

Of course he isn't. Whatever happened to his mean streak, his menace. He lacks this now. Plus he doesn't kick anywhere near enough goals to be our CHF. I long for the day the MFC have another Schwartz as our CHF.

Will Bate and Dunn be the answer? Who knows. But either way, they would both need to put on some serious muscle and weight to hold down the position, and be effective week in, week out.

ATM, we don't have a definite CHF. If we are to trade Miller, we would have to recruit an already developed CHF (Pavlich, for example) this is highly unlikely to happen. If we don't recruit one, either or both Bate and Dunn should be locked in the gym over summer.

Add this thread to the "I was wrong" file in a few months!

I cannot believe the week to week mentality of some supporters.

Thank god club decisions aren't made by supporters.

Where is the "Scott Thompson is a dud" thread after he was shut down yesterday?

Guaranteed to be on its way!

Miller unfortunately is and has pretty much always been a complete dud.There is not one chance in a millilon that another club would give anything for him.He would struggle to get a game in the forward line at the Zebs.Dunne is probably the best option long term if he can toughen up.

The only thing Miller has ever brought to this side is good looks...

Clearly judging by my pic! No we took a chance on Wheately and it paid off, we need to persevere with Miller, get off his back he is still young he has plenty of time. Pointing the finger at him is unfair and ridicolous. He always trys hard and people seem to have very short memories when he does play well. Final last year against Fremantle people! Wake up he was our one shining light! Yeah no-one remembers that now do they??

I know, where the hell is miller's mongrel and attack on the footy. Where is the enforcer that we got all excited for in 04 n were shattered when ever he got suspended. Throw your body around n make a presence.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
