From the AFL:

Brad Miller, Melbourne, has been charged with a Level One engaging in rough conduct offence against Daniel Pratt, North Melbourne, during the first quarter of the Round Four match between Melbourne and North Melbourne, played at the MCG on Saturday April 12, 2008.

In summary, his sanction must remain as a one-game penalty due to his previous poor record, even with an early plea.

The incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level One offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has an existing bad record of four matches suspended within the last three years, increasing the penalty by 40 per cent to 175 demerit points. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent 131.25 points and a one-match sanction.

Great news! Im going ot enjoy watching this week.

I can't believe this idiotic reaction to our most consistent player this year !

I know it's not saying much but I believe that Miller has shown more endeavour and tried harder than any other player on our list .

If everyone showed the endeavour Miller does (I'm looking at you McLean, Sylvia, Robertson etc), given he's had4 reasonable games this year, we certainly wouldnt be 0-4.

But I'm sure Colin Sylvia will be our saviour up forward this week now..what a superstar he is.

So Miller.. Doyen of the game that he is..lays a lamentably stupid late hit and we're supposed to congratulate him !!

Dont give me the ol' " wel he showed some mongrel etc" he showed the true heights of his football thinking ability.

There it is all laid bare. He has the football decision making qualities of a fantail wrapper. No matter how much you shine iron it will never be gold !!

LOL @ some replies in this thread

Miller is a dud that has done nothing in 08, as usual

he never should have been in the position to get suspended, cos he should never have gotten a game for us

oh sorry the poor guy has endevour. So it doesnt matter that he cant kick, cant mark overhead, cant read the play and cant use his body in a contest. He has had no impact on any of the games this year. He is not fulfilling the role we need him to so im sorry "endevour" just wont cut it.

A Shame actually, Miller was hitting some rare form and was looking good. I hope he can bounce back and continue his re-development.

I like that he has soem agro back in him game, just needs to use it a better way instead of ramming into a guys back 5 seconds after he had taken a mark.

Maybe a chance for Dunny to log big mins at CHF???

We all know here that there are two schools of thought re Miller

one, he is a trier..a misunderstood and underappreciated player wom given 'time' will evolve into a 'really useful" player..

and two he is a half way decent VFL player..who magicly fell out of a tardis and now wears a Melbourne jumper for reasons no one is too sure about!!

I have never...seen anything to make me change from the latter to the former !!

As one magnificent and wise sage once uttered *** Do or do not...there is no try !! ***

Exactly bb, what a pathetic effort from a so called leader of the club. He's constant brain fades are only shadowed by the absolute stupidity of those who feel that he is captain material. How far have we fallen that we have to rely on this guy to be our key forward?

No one gave that line.

Simply stated he was one of very very few who gave it a go. Look past bias of him please.

Got to drop duds like Robbo, Bell and Jamar. Would be good news for the club.

Great news to show that you can't be completely lazy and self centered player on the MFC (like Robbo)

Bell needs a run at Sandy, he is lost out there and his ok form from last year shouldn't save him for now.

Jamar is pathetic. Play Martin in ruck with White.

    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
