A very brief interview with Craig Cameron given they (Healy, Russell and Shaw) had to get to Caro.....

* Brad Miller potentially a mature age rookie. Got to go through draft process first. We're a very young list. Moved a number of senior players on last year and lost Cuz, Simmo and Polak to retirement this year. Don't want to be too young and put too much pressure on Jack up forward and the young bodies on our list.

* Tony Shaw asked why did we trade away a forward in Collins when we are thinking about bringing Miller in as a forward. Brad seen more as a support to our key forwards; Collins was more a midsize opportunistic forward. Collins wasn't someone we considered trading. We just wanted to bring guys with bigger engines given the new interchange rules. Collingwood showed they had plenty of midfield players and we came up short against that. So wanted to build up our midfield stocks.

* Compo pick - the plan is to bank it. We want to get into future drafts given we are still developing our list. Can't allow Scott Clayton to hog it all (laughs). Compo picks this can be used up till 2014; GWS' ones next year up to 2015.

Caro said she doesn't understand why we let go of Collins and bring in Miller when Collo was younger. Collo was popular with Richmond fans and not just because he kicked the last two goals against Freo (sic - it was Sydney). Russell said he's a Collins fan as well.

Shaw not sure about Grigg. Said Richmond thinks Grigg suits their list better.

Tony Shaw is an idiot. Asks absurd questions - how can you compare Collins to Miller?
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Fancy comparing a skinny midsized forward to a KPF. These people are fools.

Wilson coming in and saying she doesnt understand why when Cameron just explained why. :wallywink

My dogs know as much about footy as her.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

That's what I hate about taking an interest in Footy. You have to listen to idiots like Shaw. Oh well, I'm addicted to my Tigers so it's a small price to pay.

Firstly the press will try there hardest to stir up as much trouble as they can on this Collins issue, it isn't that they really believe there is a problem with it in as much as they know or consider that there are some in the supporter ranks that have issue with it.

Secondly, on the Miller issue, it concerns me that Craig Cameron is being swayed in his decision to recruit Miller because he has a strong relationship with him if this is the major giuding factor in recruiting Miller than this is the stsrt of the road to disaster for the richmond football club. This is straight out of jobs for the boys, lets give our mates a job, instead of getting the proper playing personell recruited and established.

Hardwick dont let people screw you over down there, you are the one that will ultimately suffer through their poor decisions, take charge and make sure your getting the best personell you can possibly get, and get someone to at least coordinate with Cameron on the dialogue that is going to spew forth from his mouth in future interviews, Geez he'll bury us.

I like the way you ignore all that has been said about getting a bigger mature body to help protect the young forwards and concentrate on the relationship between miller and Cameron.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I just dont buy the reasoning to get this dud (apart from Pia). Melbourne are more or less in the same position as us (actually worse when it comes to the fdw line) bc they have a young fwd who is skinny and much greener than Jack Reiwoldt and yet they had no qualms in getting rid of Miller instead of keeping a big body there to take heat of a young skinny Jack Watts.  ??? ???
Its just rubbish.

I didn't ignore it Al, I just didn't mention it. I don't have a problem with the intention, just the "who" and the "why". I smell the "lets help a mate" rather than "lets help the club"

its a disgrace really we need to resort in picking up a dud like Miller. Lets be serious the guy is a great VFL player, thats about it.

We should be spending the money we would pay Miller into an extra development coach for Astbury, Griffiths, Jack and Post.

I wonder if the Pies thought of recruiting a hack like Miller to help out their young forward line of Dawes, Cloke, Sidebottom and Beams.

We dont need Miller and this talk of insurance is a joke. We wont make finals more than likely,so what are we insuring ourselves against

How about developing them in the beginning so they dont get burnt out.

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.

I remember once i heard the Pies have 1 development coach for every 3 players. Now whether thats true im not too sure but we lack in this department and im not convinced a Miller recruitment would help.

Did the Pies do it with Dawes, Beams and co
Did the Hawks do it with Buddy and Roughy
Did the Dees do it with Watts and co etc etc etc
