Title: Brad Miller
Post by: Jackstar is back again on April 08, 2012, 11:41:49 AM
I have been a big fan of Brads.unlike most on here
Last night proved he at least gives you a contest and chase and harasses opposition
Would be funny if he turned out to be our leading goal kicker for the year
He has earned his "stripes" unlike some
Well done Milzy!

You obviously know this bloke personally. Doesn't kick anything but the easiest of goals. Kicked 3 in junk time last night. At least he has a crack but if we're talking about him as one of our best players then no wonder why we go ape poo after every game.

That sums it up davey. he does what is asked of him, just doesnt do it well enough. I'll take that over someone who can do it better, but just doesnt do what is asked of them.

To me he is a barometer of where we are at. we need someone to step up and push him out of the side.

Poor kick of a football(but not robinson crusoe there)..presents whenever we enter the attacking zone and will always offer a contest...Has been the one shining light so far in an otherwise very poor forward line

Miller does ajob for us. When he was picked up he wasn't expected to show too much but i think he has exceeded expectations. He is one of our more succesful pick ups from the pre season draft.
Title: Re: Brad Miller
Post by: Hellenic Tiger on April 08, 2012, 12:19:41 PM
Where was he last week Jack bar the first 14 seconds?

Does a job and that's it. Does what is asked of him and that's it.

Is an indictment to Riewoldt and Vickery that Miller gets the plaudits.

You made your point and enough said.

Riewoldt and Vickery will win us games Miller is merely structure.

Lets focus on getting Riewoldt and Vickery focused.

Dramatic histrionics are signs of desperation and failure.

It would be hilarious. I would be laughing and then I'll be crying because noone is good enough to replace him and our so called forward star like Jack has continued his selfishness.
Be honest jackstar you surely can't beleive he is anything more than a good VFL player at best?

Does what is asked and when he plays you know what you are going to get
Same as I.Maric .you know what you get
The huge issue we have at the moment is that you don't know what you get with Vickery and Riewoldt
Sat on the fence last night and all Jack did was complain to the umpires and give his team mates a spray
As for Vickery.kept on dropping his head and giving up.not good
Now what were those two total marks inside F 50?
I say no more

you didn't answer the question. Yes he is doing his job at the moment better than others up forward but do you truly think he is any more than a good VFL standard player?

l'm surprised Jolly has not proposed to Vickery today considering the time he held onto him after ruck contests. Time for the umps to take a closer look at Jolly.

The huge issue we have at the moment is that you don't know what you get with Vickery and Riewoldt

Jack sadly that sums it up. Miller playes the role he is given, I lost track of the number of times he actually lead to space last night and got either ignored or had Tyrone running in front of him

Vickery is horribly out of form his effort against Jolly in the final quarter where his "in-action" gifted the pies a goal and snuffed out any chance we had was deploarble. If it had of been a Gus Graham, a Jackson or Edwards who did the same and people would be baying for blood. It was simply a disgraceful effort and if that's what he is going to dish up then back to Coburg. And BTW how he managed to drop that mark from the Deledio pin point lace out pass beggars belief as well

As for Jack  he is simply playing dumb footy. If they want to persist with playing him up the ground then he needs to use his strengths and one of the those is his ability to lead in to open spaces. Personally I wouldn't have him up the ground, I'd be playing him from the goal square telling him to bloody well lead as opposed to trying to take mark of the year every time the ball is kicked to him

Turn it up. Tarrant went down early meaning Miller had the 4th defender and he still could only manage 5 touches to 3/4 time.

Kicking goals when the other team has gone for a shower doesn't mean much.

Title: Re: Brad Miller
Post by: Jackstar is back again on April 09, 2012, 07:41:02 AM

I agree WP.
There is no one else available at the moment so we must persist with Miller because he's doing exactly as required at the minute. I'd have him play further up the ground as the lead up half forward. Put Jack deep and have him present from the goalsquare. If he doesn't lead and work his arse off i'd put him in defence on a leading forward to show him what is required.
Vickery needs a plate of my mammas lasagna.... I'd let him know if he doesn't pull his finger out he'll never get another taste of that lasagna again.

Vickery and Jack both seem out of form. Jack's right, with Miller as with big Ivan you get consistent effort. Miller creates space and structure which the other two should be able to exploit. Perhaps we are not giving our opposition and particularly the opposition backlines enough credit though. Perhaps our forwards under performance is as much to do with lack of opportunity and the quality of deliver to them. Some of those missed marks by Vickery was embarassing though  :-\

Sad to see the day when Miller was our most in form forward  :shh

Not intending to have a dig at anyone, but what's the fuss about the Footy Show? It's a dumb family show and I dot watch it, but what if Jack for example took Murphy's spot on 360? Sewell sits every Tuesday on it too but someone will argue that it's OK for him since the Hawks are contending. However the Bulldogs are in quite a disastrous position and there appears to be no issue from the 7 Dogs supporters who can afford Foxtel.
