Last trade period, Miller and Robbo were the only sought after players from MFC as far as I am aware; Miller by Sydney, Robbo by the Bullies.

This forum have given both players heaps of flack. Maybe time to put the personals aside, and listen to the pros.

There is no doubt that Bailey rates both players: after the cats game, he spoke admiringly of Robbo's aerobic and anaerobic capacity. His positive comments about Miller have been listed elsewhere.

These are both quality players who do not get the highest $'s out of a cap. They should be recognised as quality, if not at the highest level.

Robbo has been with the club 10 years now... surely you know how to at least pronounce his friggen name properly!!!!!!

Robbo is clearly a spent force at the moment, his heart is not fully behind his footy, and needs to lift his game

Brad Miller has done all we could have asked of him so far, he is never going to be a champion, but he is a workhorse, and should continue to grow in confidence, a game at CHF on the G will prove some doubters wrong!!!

I think DB rates different aspects of each player. Having said that I would say it those aspects of Miller which he admires more than some of the aspects of Robbo that he does not.

I cant recall DB dragging Miller a number of times for indiscretions. I think Robbo is struggling.

Yes..and if you listened carefully to Bails he did indeed speak of Robbos aerobic capacity.. his motro etc. That she effected a spoil fruther up field. I thought that rather strange myself to talk of that when discussing. I mean.. Robbo is a forward. Didnt speak too much about his great effort near the sticks.. or his dmaging affect on the scorebaord.. NO. He spoke of his need to work a bit harder and get results.

Or maybe we just hear different things !!

Yep Swannies wanted Miller so badly they offered 5 bottle tops.. , a Blockbuster coupon and a packet of crisps !! :rolleyes:-_-

god bless you misses robinson!

hahaha its funy becauses mrs robertson would perhaps be a better name for him nowadays....

Robbo was a champion, but over the last three weeks he's shown little to prove his place in the team. I hope this changes, but if not we must have no qualms about giving him the axe to let him get back into form at sandy

Miller...Hrm i just still don't know. I feel every 1 or 2 games i watch he does something that makes me sit up and think, 'hey!,' but then i'm not sure if that's just because the bar has been set lower or what, still willing to give him more time because after all, what else is this year about

Frosty's best footy is when he is at CHF leading up the ground. When he does this there needs to be another tall filling his space as the next option to kick to.

Miller as a deep forward does not work for me. When he stays inside or around the 50, he doesn't kick enough goals as a CHF should (a huge problem).

He needs to be told to kick for goal when he's inside the 50. He needs to become more greedy. None of this dishing off to a running player 99% of the time. When he does this, more times than not he gives it to a player under pressure from their opponent.

He also needs his mongrel to return, controlled mongrel. DB is working on this i think. It's time for Miller to become greedy and demand the footy, no matter what position of the ground he is placed.

Could not agree with you more Demon Disciple.

I believe Miller is a confidence player. (along with alot of our team). I think he should always be played at CHF. I have a dvd at home which is called "demons magical moments" or something of the sort and it has a section on Miller. When he is up and about he is a great player to have.

The times people bag him are mainly when he is playing in the backline and I really don't think he understands how to play that position.

I thought Miller did some great things against Geelong and I really hope he stays at CHF this year.

For Robbo. I think he is lacking in his defensive pressure at the moment. Doesn't chase/block/talk/handball. Really has to start thinking TEAM rather than GOAL or MARK of the year every round.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
