Ive been saying it.

Miller is going to be Baileys love child.

He just threw him in there as a signing as big as Brocky and Robbo.

I really think Bailey and other members of the club are really getting behind Brad, trying to build that confidence back where it used to be. It will take a while, but im very confident Bailey will not only get Miller running again, but will set the demons on fire.

My feeling is that in order to qualify as DB's love child any given player is going to have to produce consistently on the field and on the training track.

Or just already know him from Mt. Gravatt.

Going on first impressions. Training hasn't happened yet.

I also don't recall anyone every writing or saying Miller doesn't work hard on the track. That's the praise he keeps getting from Cameron and Bailey is his leadership and how hard he works.

Training has not happened yet. But Bailey praises him for his leadership and how hard he works.

Gotcha.

FWIW, I dont recall anyone writing or saying Godfrey doesnot work hard on the track. Gulp. Maybe that's not the point.

Worried about what to say because I don't want big bad Rhino to kick me off for being insulted.

But Bailey has said when he was at Port we always respected Brad Millers work ethic.

Connolly also said Bailey is very keen on Miller. Thinks he brings alot of leadership and work ethic to the club.

Plus as someone who knew Brad as a junior he may just have the slightest impression in his mind about how Brad used to train.

i like everything he said...what he said about miller was true, he can still develop as a great footballer and not be a KPP the entire time. id even be happy to see him stay in the one position for most of the season but in the odd games, get booted into defense to play on players such as barry hall, which would also be good for his learning. maybe.....just maybe....maybe he might be neitz's replacement, a buddy frankline type, he's a bit bigger than newton...maybe hes not the right build...it's just a suggestion

Miller has to be willing to play anywhere or else he won't play anywhere.

IMO and in order to our needs, not exactly what suits him:

FB - Just mark a bloke and beat him.

CHF - Has to be towards a wing and tell him to stop, turn around and kick the sh!t out of it.

HFF - Probably suited best to this, but a worry defensively.

Wing - Left field one, but value scaring people off the square and bulocking his way through, good endurance, but has to learn to kick straight.

Just to get this thread back on track, since every thread tends to devolve to discussion over the recent re-signing of a particular player...

Bailey looking very optimistic, good to see. He's taking over a club with a very good young list and will be coach as we celebrate 150, and move into new offices and facilities.

Probably can't believe his luck. Usually new coaches inherit some very ordinary lists: Essendon - Knights, Richmond - Wallace, WB - Eade, Carlton - Ratten.

Maybe you could add Fremantle - Harvey (or are they underachievers like Gerrard and Walls think?), and St.Kilda - Lyon (A few stars, but what surrounds them?) aswell...this year will probably answer those questions.

Who knows, maybe Melbourne - Bailey will be added.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
