Brad Miller [merged]

[bojangles17]

Whats starting to annoy me is that we have Miller in the seniors,  mcGuane, Graham and Post fwd at the burgers, Astbury, Derickx and Browne in the side too which means Elton gets bumped down to burger reserves!

Thats poor management right there. McGuane is gawn, should be down back. Post has shown a bit up forward recently, bite the friggin bullet and play him against GWS in place of Vickery and MILLER! Derickx is gawn, he should be in the burger reserves and Elton should be cutting his teeth against the best the VFL has to offer.

I probably would have copped post given a shot today but i supported millers inclusion for lack of a better option, we needed the 4 points desperately

4 times got into jacks way
 

....and nearly killed Kingy

correct.
He is a joke of a player and a joke of a selection.

I think we've no past the stage where we need Brad to play this irrelevant role taking an opposition defender away from contests to free up Jack etc.

It doesn't really work and Brad's effort whilst I can respect aren't contributing to wins. I wouldn't be playing Miller again. If Vickery is injured or out of form then give Post more chances then he deserves who knows what will happen. I can't see us achieving anything by having Miller in the side. Miller last year at the club.

I'm afraid Post is a post!....and this from someone who has defended him for years. Next year Elton will begin putting pressure on the Tall forwards, if he isn't already.

first time Ive seen Miller play in person, in terms of expectations I set the bar low and he comfortably came under that.

Miller better option than Vickery at the moment .at least he creates a contest

As I posted in the Dea thread yesterday I paid particular attention to:

Dea
Connors
Miller
King
Grigg

Will repeat I haven't watched the replay yet

But on Millers game his 1% ers (eg the blocking for the small forwards & restings mids up forward) and those things that don't count as stats are clearly why he is in the side. He did those things again yesterday.

Granted he didn't get much of the ball (but the stats say he had one possession than the skipper ) but he presented, bought the ball to ground, protected the smalls and he freed up Maric to be a spare down back by taking the ruck in the forward 50 - that seemed to be his designated role and he did it.

Certainly wasn't the worst yesterday

Who was worse?

[WilliamPowell]

Who was worse?

A tie between Jake King & Chris Newman  Both had shockers

Am glad someone on this forum actually watches the game
Totally agree WP.Miller did his role
Unlike a few others
Interesting also the fact that Maric played alot behind the ball to try and stop the bleeding in defence

[Jackstar is back again]

Major issue if we have inform Ruckman playing behind the ball and not pushing forward
Huge issue in D50 in the moment

[Judge Roughneck]

Its the gameplan champ

At times, GWS played two loose men in defense. In the first half, I thought The People's Mullet kept out of our forward half to reduce the numbers in our forward 50.  It didn't work because GWS then had up to three extra players in our attacking 50.  We kept bombing it in, they brought it to ground and had the numbers to hack in out and then we bombed it back in. When GWS actually got to run it out of defense, their superior skills helped them look pretty good.
