Next up is Brad Miller.
After crossing from Melbourne as a mature rookie in his 10th year of AFL, Brad ended up being promoted to the senior list and played 14 matches all up kicking 17 goals for the season. His best performance was in round 22 against his old side where he finished with 16 disposals, 7 marks and kicked 3 goals.

How did we all rate Brad Miller first season at Tigerland?
-
Played the role on and off the field that he was recruited to the Club for.
Gave us a structure up forward that allowed the likes of Vickery to develop at the top level without the added pressure. Certainly straigthened us a up a fair bit. Also bought great leadership to Club, has the respect of his team mates
Can't aske much more than that :thumbsup
;) ;D
-
He was cheap and was handy. 5 from me.
-
I thought he was very important, his experience shone through, he got better as the year went on and looked like a rejuvenated man. If Jack was in full flight our forward line could of been devastating this year with Millers efforts. I think he will be even better next year now he has the game plan down and has gotten used to the way the core of the team work.
Gave him an 8 as an older player slotting into a new side. I think he played really well, created tons of scoring ops, started holding onto his marks a lot better in the second half and got the plan down pat more too. And I forgot to add he started booting goals in the second half of the year too. He did start off shakey with his marking and goal kicking for some reason but came home strong.
-
6 for performances on field, added to our structures and helped the development of our young forwards.
Off field you would give him close to a 10, been superb as WP said, done what was drafted for. :cheers
-
Gave us structure and straightened us up and was a decoy to Jack and Vickery but is a terrible kick for goal.
-
Was given clear instructions as to why he was drafted and considering where his career was he performed his duties more than dutifully.
He played is on field role well even though he had some shockers but overall he did his job and the club can be happy.
Just a short term solution. Hoping Griff can take that role full term and advance on it.
-
Gave him a 4, he made my eyes bleed.
Cmon Griff please be good for next year.
-
:lol

LOL Chucky your a hard man
-
Gave him a 10. Why? Because he performed his role to a T and arguably is just as important as Riewoldt.
I really hope he gets a contract extension.
-
Better than expected but just a contributor. 5.

1 from me, can't kick, falls over and his Mrs is over rated.

Dunno bout that TBR two of the four votes I gave him were for his mrs
-
lack of abilty to mark out in front is a killer
sometimes goes one hand at the ball.

Miller is in effect an led up hff? Poor man ash hansen of wce.
I would rather astbury, griff, post. Even go nuts give derickx a shot.
Or draft a young tall.

Not a field of great quality there.

Thanks to GC17, 22 more players got a game this season than the season before. Miller can count himself lucky that GWS have come in now- it spreads the talent pool even thinner and will probably get him another year of AFL footy.
I would rather have Fevola on 'minimum chips'
Tell me you lot wouldn't be thinking finals if we had Fevola in the side instead of Miller.

Not saying this for the sake of arguing with you DC but I really think Fevola is a different beast to either Miller or Cuz. I don't think he has it in him to knuckle down and bring positives to our team of kids - he's not renowned as a good trainer, good leader or anything like professional in his conduct on and off the field. I think the only place we aren't desperate for some help is our forward line and that's the only place he can play. The distraction that would come with him just wouldn't be worth the likely return imho.
-
Fev the human headline, be good for a club seeking some publicity if they can wear it. If Fev can behave himself, you never know, third time lucky. Miller is someone who, as an observer looking in, appears to have excellent character and qualities and helped bring a bit of old age and cunning back into the club something that is missing atm.
-
was interesting to hear the panel talking before the thugby world cup game yesterday.
Two blokes from different successful world cup campaigns talked about the leadership the side had and how important it was. They said that they were lucky in having a number of players with leadership and how important it was to have a number of players that showed leadership on and off the field for success
-
Leadership works if the leader and his followers have the quality to deliver onfield under pressure.
Back to Miller - if he is still playing in the seniors next year then we aren't improving and developing as a side.
-
probably a fair call, MT. Injuries could see him get a run, though.
