Brad Miller [merged]

[Fishfinger]

he wasnt drafted as a decoy he was drafted to make an impact just like riewoldt. for the good of the team in the long term. we have to have more than just jack and a decoy.
griffiths job is to take marks  get it on the lead have a physical presence and kick goals. weeks on end of hardly touching the ball in games can only be bad for his development.

Of course he was drafted to make an impact. In his first few games his job was to keep his opponent out of Riewoldt's space. He showed good discipline.
He was learning to play for the team and sacrifice his own game. Surely that's development.

With all due respect, I think Hardwick and his assistants know a bit more how to develop an AFL footballer than you do.

You'll learn about Claw, Forbesy.

He's our god

now that is just gobbldygook.
jacks performance with or without griffiths in the side was pretty consistent.
the simple fact was griffiths struggled big time to get his hands on the ball. the simple truth is two or three possesions a game every game is not good for development. it must just shatter confidence.without a doubt griffiths needed to be dropped when he got injured.

and i sure as hell hope hardwick and his crew know more about development than me. but i hoped that with wallace and before him frawley. i dont think hardwick can lay claim to developing one richmond player just yet. how good he and his crew are at that wont be known for a few seasons yet.
weather hardwick knows better or not  it should not exclude us from useing a bit of common sense in discussing our players.

[Mr Magic]

Both Miller and Hislop will be a waste of space. Can't believe we rookied either!

Yeah shame.

[gerkin greg]

Another example of why we need our own reserves team. Sometimes the opportunity just isn't there to develop our players how we see fit at the lower level and the only place to do it is the seniors. This can clearly have a detrimental effect on development. Well and truly time to stuff Coburg off before we stuff up another bunch of young talent. Donate to the FTF 

[Judge Roughneck]

And yet he is one of the very few Richmond players in the last 150 years to not lose a game

Amen! Miller is too slow and is out of the play as soon as the ball spills in the marking contest. Hurry back Jack 

[Mr Magic]

Witches hat.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Witches hat.

A rubbish witches hat is described by it's peers as a brad miller.

[tony_montana]

If you read back through this thread and others you'll know I was dead against this... however if he in anyway has anything to do with the improving signs Vickery is showing as a key fwd (we keep hearing about the playing coach role he has) then he's already paid his way for mine. Of course it could all just be coincidence

nope god is always right. im just mostly right.

Richmond mature-aged recruit, Brad Miller, has been elevated to the senior playing list ahead of the 2011 season.

Miller, 27, was taken by the Tigers as a mature-aged rookie in the December draft last year following a 133-game career at Melbourne, where he kicked 89 goals.

He played in three of Richmond’s pre-season matches and was among the best in the win against Port Adelaide at Alice Springs, kicking two goals.

The Tigers’ General Manager of Football, Craig Cameron, said Miller would offer valuable assistance to the Club’s young forwards.

“With Ben Griffiths not quite ready to return from a shoulder injury, we believe Brad will give us another option in the forward half.

“Brad has the experience at the highest level, which will help fast-track the development of our young players, like Jayden Post and Ty Vickery.

“He has been an excellent addition to our playing group.  His leadership skills are outstanding.”

Richmond passed up the opportunity to enlist a player from its rookie training squad, which consisted of Mitch Keddell, Travis Casserly and Liam Corrie.
