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.

I can't be the only one who thinks we are drifting a little close to the insane :blink: !!!

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!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
