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.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
