From the RFC site....

Cameron did not address the possibility of former Melbourne forward Brad Miller joining the Tigers as a mature-aged rookie except to say there had been discussions.

Earlier, Miller denied he had already agreed to join the Tigers but confirmed their interest in his services.

 "I have spoken with both Damien [Hardwick] and Craig Cameron and the role they have in mind is a little different and would involve being on the mature aged rookie list," Miller said on Twitter.

"Will know more in the coming days/weeks."

 Brad you might want to take what you can get while you can still get it.
Otherwise, you may end up as Pias's frock monkey

Tigers throw Miller lifeline

FORMER Demon Brad Miller is weighing up an offer to revive his career as an enforcer in the Richmond forward line.

The Tigers have approached Miller about nominating for December's rookie draft.

The 27-year-old, delisted by the Demons last month, could add experience to a young Tiger forward line and physical support for Coleman medalist Jack Riewoldt.

Richmond football manager Craig Cameron confirmed this morning Miller was on the club's radar.

"We've spoken to Brad," he told SEN.

"We've got to go through the right processes - that draft is in December - but one of things we looked at was the age of our tall forwards is very young.

"We are very reliant on Jack Riewoldt at the moment, we've got Ben Griffiths who's coming off two shoulder operations, we've also got Jayden Post and Tyrone Vickery - all those guys are 22 years of age or under.

"Jack Riewoldt wears a lot of the load for us, if he happens to get injured and Ben Griffiths' shoulders aren't quite right for that season, we're a little bit thin in that area of the ground.

"We spoke to Brad about the fact he's only 27 years of age, he can play forward, he's an outstanding character so he would add leadership to our whole football club plus he's got ambitions beyond football in terms of coaching.

"So we have spoken to him about a number of those things and how we may be able to develop him in a number of areas, and see if that sat well with him. He's away at the moment and he's considering those options."

Miller returned from holidays yesterday and said on Twitter he was weighing up the offer.

"I have spoken with both Damien (Hardwick) and Craig Cameron and the role they have in mind is a little different and would involve being on the mature-age rookie list. Will know more in the coming days/weeks," he said.

Miller played just six games for the Demons this year, kicking 10 goals, but won the Casey Scorpions best-and-fairest.

Cameron said the Tigers had several weeks to make a decision on whether to pick up disgruntled Bomber Bachar Houli in the national or pre-season draft.

It is understood that Jack Riewoldt is keen to point out his home town on Pia Miller, and the physical support she would be able to offer the Coleman medalist is on everyone's radar. Robin Nahas has put himself forward as props manager and camera tripod.

Holy freakin shnitzels! I just revisited some footage of Pia on youtube.
She is a glamor!  :-*

'...It is also understood that Jordan McMahon has offered up his wig as a potential merkin for Pia during the colder months of winter.'

Let's get Miller (Pia) to tigerland!   :bow

Richmond set on Brad Miller

    * Jon Ralph

BRAD Miller's delisting by Melbourne will pave the way for Richmond to rookie-list him as a back-up for Coleman Medal winner Jack Riewoldt.

The 27-year-old has now warmed to the idea of continuing his AFL career, and the Tigers have committed to taking him.

There are no restrictions on age or experience for rookie-listed players, meaning the Tigers can sign Miller as insurance for their young tall forwards.

Damian Hardwick's young list has only five players over 25, with the club aware it is only a Riewoldt injury away from trouble next year.

Miller will probably start behind young forwards such as Ben Griffiths and David Astbury in the pecking order, but could easily add to the 133 games he played at Melbourne.

Friday's list lodgement should see him dropped by the Demons, allowing him to begin training at Richmond next week and be rookie-listed in early December.

The Tigers also are aware of Miller's leadership qualities, put on show late this year.

He was offered a farewell game with Melbourne, but was content to play finals for VFL affiliate Casey Scorpions.

He polled the most votes of any Demons player in Casey's best-and-fairest, kicking 10 goals in one game.

Gold Coast had shown interest in Miller, but it seems no club will stand in the way of the Tigers rookie-listing him.

Richmond will also pick up disgruntled Essendon midfielder Bachar Houli during the pre-season.

The Tigers believe recruiting Miller will not interfere with their objective of developing a young list.

Richmond assistant coach Wayne Campbell said Miller would complement the club's young forwards.

"We just think he can help Riewoldt and Griffiths and these sort of guys, but I don't think we expect him to play 22 games here," Campbell said.

"We see him more as a guy who's got some teaching ability for our young guys."
