Mansell's kicking has to improve a lot if he is part of our future.

Agree...atm he looks to be one of those classic "good ordinary" honest type players that we get on the cheap, makes a good early impression, initially outperforms a few more fancied players & higher picks so everyone tends to overrate before they get found out and either come back to the field or fade away... :shh

Millers been hard done by. Hes done beautifully in the twos. Id roll Vlastuin into a midfield role and Miller plays in defence.

Miller has done 1 or 2 things in VFL games that I actually loved seeing.

Running from the back of the square at centre bounces at full pelt, he scattered the opposition mids, on one occasion he got the footy ran through everyone to just outside 50 and long bombed it post high for a goal. He is a weapon at 197cm runs like the wind and kicks it easy over50 or 60 metres we need to find a way to use him. That midfield stuff was terrific but what we need to know is can he do it at AFL level and can he do it more often.

We’ve tried this before. Vlas is a defender through and through.

Yep. Great defender, very average mid

What did we think of Miller's return to the seniors?

9 disposals (6k, 3h, 3c, 4u, 100% eff.)
3 marks
2 tackles
6 intercepts
240 metres gained
1 score involvement
94% time on ground

Thought he was servicable really needs continuity imo.

Thought he was solid.

Apparently Biggie is superior so with Balta and Gibcus there too it sounds like we are set for a decade or more.
