Lads,

Heard from a good source (Lipon), who is quite close to someone on the West Coast board, that West coast are very interested in securing the services of one Bradley Miller. Its only early days, but if Judd does choose Melbourne, they would be willing to trade him for Pick 4 and Bradley.

Now, I was devestated upon hearing this news.

I am sure you will all agree, that Miller is a required player. In fact in my opinion an untouchable.

I agree Judd is a very good footballer, but a trade like this would set our club back 5-10 years.

Miller is a once in a generation player, and if he was given more bloody opportunities, we could all marvel at the legend from Mount Gravatt.

Granted, he had a down game in last year's Semi Final against Fremantle, and he does not lead well or handball enough, however his kicking, marking and on-field leadership are second to none.

His workrate and dedication are admirable, and players like James McDonald and Brock Mclean, would do themselves no disservice by taking a leaf out of the great man's book.

I feel that a deciscion like this coupled with the premature departure of Neale Daniher, will steer the club in the wrong direction.

Yours truly,

Barry Miller

    fantastic!

    barry, just wondering if you think working with an ex mt gravat coach will hinder millers performances at all? we all know that sometimes going back to the past can cause a relapse to old form. could this be a reason to trade him?

    one other question barry, is it cheaper for you to get flights to melb or perth from your home in queensland?

    Yours truly,

    Barry Miller

    I think his father's name's Neville, not Barry and other than that it's a bit over the top with sarcasm but you're on the right tram. Don't forget that Bradley played an impeccable game in a final at Subiaco last year and the Weagles need another tall forward. Perhaps Barry or Neville could persuade them to take the player only and leave the draft pick with us.

    It appears to me that you guys are insinuating that I am somehow related to Bradley. I should be so lucky to be part of his Miller lineage (although God did bless me with the same surname as Bradley).

    In answer to your question, I actually think Brad will flourish under his old coach. Apparantly, he was used as a major motivation for Bailey to apply for the job.

    I dont know why you are all so keen on this trade, players like (Sir) Bradley Miller, come along quite infrequently.

    We have already lost Heath Nevile, lets ensure Brad is not lost to our proud club.

    Gah. I was hoping this would be a big fat legitimate rumour. I don't know about anyone else but I find myself trawling every last corner of the internet at present for the latest Judd "goss".

    I can't remember the last time I was this rumour thirsty.

    Funny none the less though, nice post!

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
