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.

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.

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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
