    Miller time. Pity he performs like a Budweiser!

    I like Budweiser :unsure:

    Anyhoo, if he can learn to kick beyond 40 metres, then yeah, he might have a decent year, at best.

    I think miller is almost the worst player at the MFC but i dont think people remember he was taken at pick 55. Only Paul Medhurst, Dane Swan, Adam Schneider, Damon White and Brian Harris who were taken after pick 55 have shown more promice. I hate miller but stop overrating him people. He was taken at pick 55 for a reason. More of a discrace is Molan, Armstrong, Rogers.

    miller is good when he attacks the ball more cause he can take a mark, can sometimes kick goals, but its his decision making after he takes a mark 9 out of 10 time he will handpass it to a running player and it will be a hospital pass and the player gets crunched!!! so i would love miller to stay but he needs to make better decisions and improve his kicking!!!

    Lately he's been more of a Schlitz.

    Sidenote: I went to an International Beer Festival at the Chevron a number of years ago with a mighty hangover and found that Schlitz was the only product I could stomach. Pity they went belly-up.

    how can you 'hate' anyone that plays for the club? be disappointed, frustrated and upset, but you cant 'hate' mfc players.

    HATE is reserved for the Filth, Scum-land etc.. lol ;)

    His average possesions per game are about the same as the alcohol content of American beer - about 3.2%. That's why he's as week as [censored]!

    Let's hope this dud has played his last game wearing the red & blue.

    even if miller is traded and happens to become a half decent player at a new club , hes been given more than enough opportunity at mfc...... goodbye.

    Hell hath no fury like QueenC when Miller is scorned!

    :D :D :D

    I tend not to try to "scorn" any of our players, and he is just the one who wears the most of it.

    I will never understand how you can actively "hate" one of our own. Criticism is totally different to the level of bile thrown at this player.

    And I don't appreciate bullying, even by those who that think they are justified in doing so.

    But I guess that is just me then ;) !!!

    Herald Sun today:

    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.

    Maybe Dean Baileys not a complete idiot after all

    Ive been saying this for ages. He coached him at Mt. Gravatt for christ sake.

    What coach of a young guy, (I assume he was one of Mt. Gravatts best to be drafted)

    who was his best player and obviously has heaps of love for his best player. Spent that time when he was younger grooming him, would not want to keep that kid in the AFL. Of course he will. Not only will he know every up-side there is about Brad. But lets be honest, there would have to be a soft spot.

    But what do I know. I believe Miller is a good player who's confidence has taken a massive hit, which I know, rating Miller is not popular around here.

  • Quote

    im not sure if he actually coached him at mt gravatt (i think miller would've been only 16 when bailey was coaching the seniors) but he would have been well aware of him, and im pretty sure miller was playing senior footy as a kid so you never know...

    Brad has frustrated me over the last few years, however he has played some good footy in the past, maybe a new coach is all he needs to regain that form.

    Buried deep in the Hun article about Travis, there's this piece of information -

    "Demon Brad Miller has signed a new two-year deal and is staying put."

    Let us hope he reverts back to the Brad Miller of 2004 when he sowed terror in the hearts of opponents before he was forced to change his style so much that even body contact seemed to be off the agenda for him!

    Daniher broke Miller. Thats why he's been a bit of a dud for 2-3 years. Bailey needs to get him in the forward line, get his aggression back, get his hunger for the game back, and then we will start seeing results. I've seen Miller play decent games, so he can do it again. He'd want to make an impact in '08, however, or people will have well and truly had enough. Many already have, but I think he is good for one more chance. Only one, though.

    Diablo's in my top 3 posters on this site.

    Always a good read & 9/10 I agree with him.

    Once again I agree Daniher broke him down - Dean Bailey will get him going again.

    Let's remember, during Miller's juniors - Bailey was his Coach.

    Be prepared for "MILLER TIME" in 2008!

    What a load of crap that Daniher broke Miller.

    Never has there been a player given sooo much playing and leadeship opportunity to perform with so little return.

    You may as well blame Miller's parents for any genetic deficiencies that undermine his game.

    I don't know if ND broke Miller but IMO ND had way too much faith in Miller.

    Miller is not that smart or that good to be swung from fwd one week to the backline the next.

    I like to see Miller bring back the biff next year.

    • 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?
