Delist pee him off can't play oh wait has he even been seen yet.

No one can defend the selections or non selections that have happened this year. The way we are going about things is like the old days we are drinking our own bath water and we have to learn what succession planning is all about.

He most definitely needs to play a chunk of games and this was the perfect time for this to happen. The old champion Astbury is not our future. Was too slow now and gives away way too many frees to compensate for his lack of movement/pace. We are not playing for the cup this year so make the hard decisions Dimma!!

As mentioned by Jobba in the 'changes' thread, Miller will make his debut on Saturday.

---------------

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said Miller had improved as a player every year he had been at the Club.

“I can not imagine there are too many players that have walked through the doors and worked as hard to get an opportunity,” he said.

“It is so exciting to see what he can do, (it is) four years in the making.”

My hopes are low.

He couldn't get a game when Astbury went down, nor Balta + Broad together.

They selected Garth ahead of him ffs.

I thought he was good. Won his one on contests from what i saw. Played maturely isnt a panic merchant. I think he replaces Dave Astbury going forward.

Garthwaite loses contest, gets thrown around. Miller didn’t look like that today.

Reminds a lot of early days Grimes. Did rent do much offensively but doesn’t get beaten defensively. Liked him a lot. Something to build on

I'd keep him for now...will need improve beyond merely being "better than Garthwaite" though....  :shh
