I rate him as one of the best at the club............in looks and an amazing body too. Does that count for anything? Probably not given that 98% of you are blokes. Come on Jaded, Demon Deb, anyone else

Ok I will take the bait. Brad is definitely a hottie and would be sadly missed from this point of view. He is also a nice guy and good with the fans.

Alas this does not win us games and that's what we need to do to get back to being taken seriously.

Buchanan would be quite handy in our side. He is quick and quite smart in front of goal. We have been victims of his ability to burst through the centre and pop a goal through before we even knew what happened. I would quite like to turn the tables and have that work for us.

To lose TJ as well would be sad and I can see Bailey having a positive effect on our champ.

    I would trade Miller for a 4th rounder

    I can not go through another year of him taking a mark on the wing then playing on without even thinking and either handballing it to a teammate surrounded by three opposition players, or turning it over with his atrocious handball skills

    Or after looking around for 25 seconds for someone/anyone to handball it to, he decides to kick it instead and manages to advance the ball 23 metres upfield with his mad kicking skills

    Totally agree with that statement. The 3 worst things about going to the footy are mid-strength beer, bad umpires and watching Brad Miller whenever he gets near the ball.

    The amount of support for Brad Miller in this thread is frightening

    And here I was thinking the supporters were ready to get tough and help kickstart a new era for the MFC

    But a lot of you want to keep the deadwood

    Sad

    Sad and Typical

    Never has so much been written in favour of a player so mediocre.

    426.

    Seriously, they were the best 3 handballs i've ever seen.

    426 rocks.

    The Swans have been aching for a player to fill the void that Aaron Rogers left some years ago.

    If we can get a 3rd rounder for Miller, I would take it in a heartbeat.

    The whole 426 issue centered around whether he was better than Luke Molan at the same age! :rolleyes:;)

    Never......

    I guess that is the difference between a few of us around here, because as long as he is still in Demon colours I will never give up on him. Ever.

    You can come back and call me silly or that my attitude will be a fruitless exercise if you like, but that is exactly where I stand.

    Right behind all our boys. And I will only stop being concerned about and hoping for Miller (or any other player on our list) when the club tells me to.

    And not a moment before.

    I'm with you 100%.

    I think toooooo many idiots get on here and belittle our players.

    Same idiots that get on the radio and come up with all these no sense no idea trades.

    When you trade ... you trade to improve your position NOT just to be seen to be doing something.

    QeenC I'm with you.

    Hopefully it will be nice out here on this limb ;) !!!

    And just on Buchanan I honestly cannot see him leaving the Swans., and would be very surprised if he did.......

    He has reportedly just bought a new property up here, and has gone into a fashion business with Jude Bolton.

    I am not sure those are the actions of a man looking to relocate south.

    Ouch.

    Anyhow, it seems as though Miller may not be traded. After discussing TJ and Carroll's trade chances, a Herald Sun writer said this:

    Despite speculation he could be on the move, Brad Miller is a lot less likely to be traded by the end of the week.

    The Swans have made their intentions on Miller clear, but it would have to be a very juicy offer to entice the Demons.

    "Dean Bailey's very keen on Brad," Connolly said.

    And this from the Adelaide Advertiser:

    "Sydney - as a first move - is offering a third-round draft pick for Mattner, who reportedly has been tempted by a three-year contract from the Swans.

    But Adelaide - after dismissing former South Adelaide ruckman Stephen Doyle, 26 - wants at least a second-round draft pick.

    The Swans are reserving this for out-of-contract Melbourne key position player Brad Miller."

    I think most people would be happy with Sydney's second rounder (pick 28).

    *Cue Dean Bailey abuse*

    Keep in mind this is an attitude, not a gaurantee that anyone is staying. He's also keen on Trapper pulling his finger out whilst at the same time putting him up for trade.

    All i see at the moment is Bailey 'keen' on building up good younger stocks whilst weeding out those that arent shining to the desired lux !!

    Gone. They swapped their second pick for Mattner. Unless they trade back into the second round or find a suitable swap a Miller deal with Swans is off.

    From my sister:

    "We can't trade Brad Miller! He's so hot!"

    Well, I'm convinced. Keep Brad!

    You wrote out almost the exact words of my girlfriend.

    "You guys cant trade Miller! He's hot, one of the reasons im even considering the Demons (to be her new club)"

    Unless of course, the deal is TJ + Miller (and maybe our 2nd rounder) for pick 11 + Buchanan/Schneider

    I've said it before and I will say it again I can't see Buchanan leaving Sydney.....

    He seems to have too much invested both financially and personally up here

    He has just bought a new property and opened a new business (with a store in Paddington, I think) with a team mate in Jude Bolton.

    I just don't see anyone leaving a city when there is so much at stake. To me these are not the actions of a man looking to relocate.

    But that is just my opinion :) !!!

    I reckon 99 footballers out of 100 would move states if it were necessary to further their career though, regardless of what is at stake. He might not think he has much of a choice. It's why you almost never hear of players refusing to be traded, even though they have the option and might not really want to go.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
