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 ;D) 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  ;D


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
what a stupid thing to say. Most all on here watch the games but many including yourself only see what you want to see.
The FACTS are that the Melbourne fc new that Miller wasn't up to it something you & our selectors fail to accept.
Is there any point to him getting games ahead of a youngster that can be gifted games in order to
a) fastrack their development
b) see if they are good enough.
These 2 points destroy any reason to play Miller in the senior team.

I suggest you both watch the replay again and the replay of the game against the bombers and ask yourself, "what point is there that he is in the team?" when he can't kick, read the play, gets in jacks way, fails to block, fails to capitalize on jacks good work, fumbles, can't kick beyond 40m, takes his defender straight to Jack, has no respect by any opposition defender. Etc etc etc. 
The club that keeps giving.

yep, he has played 0ver 150 games by fluke ::)
Unless there is someone demanding the position at Coburg, got no issue
Watching the replay of Coburg, there isnt anyone demanding any position.
Elton played in the development squad yesterday
And as for Vickerys form in 2012 :chuck
Got no issue with promoting young developing players IF they deserve a game.
There isnt anyone putting there hand up, Post :nope

Miller was bought to richmond to fill an immediate need,not to be the long  term solution to our forward set up.As of june 17 i reckon that need is still there

Just wondering

You've watched 10 hours of footy over the weekend Jack.

GWS V Rich live

You mentioned you've seen the replay twice.

Now Coburg v Port.

Have you seen any other games over the weekend?

Anyways I see more upside in playing Post, Elton Astbury or even McGuane up forward than Miller.

Mate.still watching footy
Astbury is still at least 4 weeks away
McGaune has already been told he will be moved on at end of year
Post still struggling
Elton played in development team
Derrickx played down back and got alot of uncontested possessions
Also fell over alot yesterday.
Seen nothing at Coburg yesterday
Browne was good.then there were the Coburg players that impressed Fahey and Groves
Maric was ok been been tried and lacking
So do you preserve going back to Vickery or keep Miller for the time being with the hope that Astbury could get back in a month and then push Griffiths forward

Presuming this is factual (no one would be surprised either), is it really the right thing to put it on a forum? It's always fun to drop some bombs and show everyone we know things, but is it always smart? I don't want egg on my face at the end of the year, so I'm preferring to sit on some things should they not actually eventuate or jeopardise the outcome.

No difference that is was publicly known that Connors was out the door if he mucked up again.no big deal
All Mcgaune can do is try and stick it up everyone
Similar to Tucky actually
