I heard that Bolton is on the table, but Roos won't trade him for TJ. Source: Ch7.

Ouch. Anyhow, it seems as though Miller may not be traded. After discussing TJ and Carroll's trade chances, a Herald Sun writer said this: Source

He's a little on the old side. Would no doubt be a good player, but at what cost?

Sounds too witty for Paul Johnson I wonder what he was doing at Frankston High, considering he wasn't a student there.

Not if our window won't be until TJ's past his best.

Right.

Haha. Meesen and another Adelade player both put a picture on one of their team mate's Facebook pages. One of the pictures was a drawing of a penis with arms. Serious sex scandal indeed.

At the risk of repeating myself: White will be gone soon, so even if we pick up Meesen that only gives us three. None have established themselves as second rucks, let alone first rucks. Can we afford to get rid of anyone remotely like a ruck?

Like Arnold Schwarzenneger and Danny Devito, eh?

Agreed.

Hell hath no fury like QueenC when Miller is scorned!

Fifteen other clubs would be happy to have TJ if it was for free...

Indeed.

Haha.

Thompson is better than Vandenberg IMHO. Pagan would be justified in feeling aggreived at being rated below ND.

It was versus Sydney in '06 iirc. As someone else said, PJ's still pretty young and big guys take a while to develop. I'd persevere, while rookie'ing young rucks.

That's my understanding. Same principle though.

Correct.

Have a look at their years in '04 and '05, and compare them to our years in '05 and '06 - we're a long way off. Btw, not nearly our best 22 in your fictional 2007 grand final team IMO!

That's fair enough, and I can understand where you're coming from. However, taking a critical look at our list and thinking about who should be delisted and/or traded, you need to evaluate where players are at. Obviously we're not the decision makers, but we put our 2 cents in... Every player has a price - what's Miller's price to you? It seems like it's not say, a third round pick. What would you trade him for? As someone else has said, 15 clubs would have a look if he came for free. TJ's name comes up every year, and nothing eventuates. Obviously we rate him more as worth more to us than the market will give for him.

Nice

I agree. Once again, I agree. You can't turn over half your list, and it's better to offload older guys, who aren't likely to contribute to our next Premiership team, rather than 25 and unders.

When did he set the world on fire 8 weeks in a row?

There's a difference between posting on an internet messageboard and penning an article for a newspaper, isn't there?

Haha.
