Brad Miller To Swans

The Fergburger
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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?
