« on: September 29, 2011, 03:44:51 AM »
Next up is Brad Miller.

After crossing from Melbourne as a mature rookie in his 10th year of AFL, Brad ended up being promoted to the senior list and played 14 matches all up kicking 17 goals for the season. His best performance was in round 22 against his old side where he finished with 16 disposals, 7 marks and kicked 3 goals.

Played the role on and off the field that he was recruited to the Club for.

Gave us a structure up forward that allowed the likes of Vickery to develop at the top level without the added pressure. Certainly straigthened us a up a fair bit. Also bought great leadership to Club, has the respect of his team mates

Can't aske much more than that  :thumbsup

I thought he was very important, his experience shone through, he got better as the year went on and looked like a rejuvenated man.  If Jack was in full flight our forward line could of been devastating this year with Millers efforts.  I think he will be even better next year now he has the game plan down and has gotten used to the way the core of the team work.
Gave him an 8 as an older player slotting into a new side.  I think he played really well, created tons of scoring ops, started holding onto his marks a lot better in the second half and got the plan down pat more too.  And I forgot to add he started booting goals in the second half of the year too.  He did start off shakey with his marking and goal kicking for some reason but came home strong.

6 for performances on field, added to our structures and helped the development of our young forwards.

Off field you would give him close to a 10, been superb as WP said, done what was drafted for.  :cheers

Gave us structure and straightened us up and was a decoy to Jack and Vickery but is a terrible kick for goal.

Was given clear instructions as to why he was drafted and considering where his career was he performed his duties more than dutifully.
He played is on field role well even though he had some shockers but overall he did his job and the club can be happy.
Just a short term solution. Hoping Griff can take that role full term and advance on it.

Gave him a 10. Why? Because he performed his role to a T and arguably is just as important as Riewoldt.

I really hope he gets a contract extension.
