That is completely untrue. For starters, Kent Kingsley is still on an AFL list.

Also, Miller worked hard after half time and kept his head up. He shut down his new opponent, made some good decisions and was typically aggressive.

We won't gain anything from a trade, and there are plenty of others who should be delisted ahead of him. He's still young (Carroll was 25 when he started to show signs of being a capable player), and if he is given adequate time and training, he could be a good defender.

He has reasonable pace, he is big, he is aggressive, and IMO he is far better following a forward, than making the play.

Also, Nathan Brown kicked the ball to the opposition in the goal square this year. Is he the worst player on an AFL list? :rolleyes:

You have no idea Jaded, your favouritism towards certain players is laughable, for once take the rose coloured glasses off...it's getting boring... :rolleyes:

    As a forward I have to agree with you......

    But as a defender I don't think he has been given nearly enough time or training to gain necessary and vastly different skills set to make that judgement.

    He hasn't been there for any length of time and last night was a calamity from top to bottom that was not just of his making.

    Or what drdrake said :rolleyes: !!!

    Oh dear...is that hard for some people to understand the man has not got a football brain in any sense of the word. no skills, no talent, no awareness...nothing...there is not a chance he will be on our list next year. Has been given more chances than any player i can remember and he has played quite a few games in defense and has been inept 95% of the time.

    I think there's a fair chance he'll be on our list, particularly considering Holland is nearing the end.

    I think Miller's problem is that we don't have a CHF or CHB at the moment and think of him as one of those and he just isn't. If we had a full compliment of key position players, I think he'd play as a HFFer and do reasonably and not attract al this attention.

    Well, this unyeilding negativity only highlights the fact that we really only ever see exactly what we want to see, whether that be the good or the bad........

    When truth be told the reality is almost always somewhere in between :rolleyes: !!!

    Even with this 'shot to pieces by injury' list, Miller would still struggle to be listed as an emergency for a HFF. If we had an established CHF or CHB, he'd be as good as gone.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
