Lads,
Heard from a good source (Lipon), who is quite close to someone on the West Coast board, that West coast are very interested in securing the services of one Bradley Miller. Its only early days, but if Judd does choose Melbourne, they would be willing to trade him for Pick 4 and Bradley.
Now, I was devestated upon hearing this news.
I am sure you will all agree, that Miller is a required player. In fact in my opinion an untouchable.
I agree Judd is a very good footballer, but a trade like this would set our club back 5-10 years.
Miller is a once in a generation player, and if he was given more bloody opportunities, we could all marvel at the legend from Mount Gravatt.
Granted, he had a down game in last year's Semi Final against Fremantle, and he does not lead well or handball enough, however his kicking, marking and on-field leadership are second to none.
His workrate and dedication are admirable, and players like James McDonald and Brock Mclean, would do themselves no disservice by taking a leaf out of the great man's book.
I feel that a deciscion like this coupled with the premature departure of Neale Daniher, will steer the club in the wrong direction.
Yours truly,
Barry Miller
