Good move Tiges :clapping
Worked in 2011 no reason why it wont in 2012
:thumbsup ;D
-
He deserved another year based on performance and if he repeats the performance I would continue to keep him on 1 year contracts until he's form drops off and he's not contributing as he would like.
-
Go Milzy :thumbsup

Agree with WP an 10F
Perhaps there is still question marks over griff? he will take some time and wont hurt to have a mature player like miller until someone younger is ready to take the spot
-
Now where did I put my peeler.......

Go Milzy :thumbsup

Yeah good move this, particularly if Griff can get up, Vickery, Riewoldt and Miller..... :thumbsup

If Griff gets up, Miller wont be getting a game.
fwiw, I think it's a bit of a waste of a rookie spot. We need to keep pushing them through til we get a Dahlhaus, a Breust or a Pederson. If he is such a good bloke and liked by the young'uns then retain him as an assistant coach.

Miller can play further up te ground with Jack, Griff and Vickery in the forward line......

Go Milzy :thumbsup
Always been a Brad Miller fan.
Was slaughtered at Melbourne for years.
Have never said anywhere on here that I didnt approve of him.
At least you know what you get with Brad, a contest at all times, unlike some ::)

Get to watch Pia for another year! :cheers :bow :thumbsup :clapping

No he can't.

Critical that he takes the heat of Jack

Miller's only use is for structure in that Forward line . . . useless around the ground.
He knows what his role is and does it well, good move by the club to keep him.
He will not get a game if Griff is fit.

good stuff

^ ditto that...simply back up for Griff's shoulders...and they have already said that they will eventually move him into a coaching/development role - good hands on experience now & if we can get some extra value out of him training, example, discipline wise & possibly even one or two game day roles etc then it's a good move me thinks...

Agree DC. We've wasted most of the spots our rookie list with wrong types (too small and not up to it) and "back-ups" who were never going to be part of our future. No surprise it's been cleared out.
-
It's not like he actually kept anyone off the rookie list last year.
Given the supposed shallow talent pool and compromised draft it's highly likely it will be the same again next year.
-
My argument to that al is there are always late developers in footy who are rejected at 18 y.o. and overlooked over successive drafts before some AFL club notices them in a state league and sees that they actually could play at AFL level and picks them up in their early-mid 20s. Now if you could notice this late developing talent say a year before any other club can then you could find a gem for the rookie draft no matter whether a specific year is strong or weak in teenage talent.
-
I agree with all that MT, but when the club doesn't fill all the rookie spots, as we did this year and I believe are likely to next year, it's all moot because no individual is keeping any one off the list. The recruiting department's ( RE Craig Cameron :P) assesment of them is keeping them off the list.

Craig Cameron has already proved he is incapable of spotting talent given his role at Melbourne and early on at Richmond in list management. As football manager, it will be interesting to see one FJ and Blair Hartley perform.
If their selections do well, he has delivered great talent to execute what he couldnt

Gerks has been on the needle again

What? But in all non football related things Craigy is doing really well? How dare you man.
