If we choose Miller as a rookie what would he cost? 100k. Id rather 2 development coaches instead that can teach these kids how to
get the job done.

Well seeing the base wage for a rookie is around $35K + set match payments - the cost isn't that great

And I doubt you'd get 2 development coaches for $100k. One yep but not 2 

From the sounds of things Miller will also take on a coaching role even though he's on the list as a mature rookie

Exactly, I was lead to believe he will be signing as a development coach and is being rookied as insurance and why wouldn't we. Miller can play and it would only take Reiwoldt Griffin (Who is suspect anyway) and Astbury or Post to all be injured and our forward line will be screwed big time! I don't have a problem with Miller comming to the club to play either roll, he will be a last resort player and won't be hindering the development of anyone on the list.

It's Griffiths. Agree with what you say.

To me its just being clever and using this new "mature rookie" in a role that has never been done before.  Get him to the club as a coach and insurance, very smart.

What do we need insurance for? If someone goes down promote Westhoff and have a look at him. Or Lawton if we pick him up in the RD.

Keep the list tick-tick-ticking.

A baby would weigh more than Hoff.

Miller is a gun, we have the flag in the bag

Here's the link to the audio of Craig Cameron's interview last night [Go from 21.45 - 25.03 ]

Just to add Cameron said our lack of midfield depth was shown up by the lack of mids running around at Coburg later on in the season. All were playing at Richmond. So we needed/need to add to our midfield stocks.
