Good move Tiges 

Worked in 2011 no reason why it wont in 2012

 

[10 FLAGS]

He deserved another year based on performance and if he repeats the performance I would continue to keep him on 1 year contracts until he's form drops off and he's not contributing as he would like.

Agree with WP an 10F
Perhaps there is still question marks over griff? he will take some time and wont hurt to have a mature player like miller until someone younger is ready to take the spot

[The Big Richo]

Now where did I put my peeler.......

Yeah good move this, particularly if Griff can get up, Vickery, Riewoldt and Miller.....

If Griff gets up, Miller wont be getting a game.

fwiw, I think it's a bit of a waste of a rookie spot. We need to keep pushing them through til we get a Dahlhaus, a Breust or a Pederson.  If he is such a good bloke and liked by the young'uns then retain him as an assistant coach.

Miller can play further up te ground with Jack, Griff and Vickery in the forward line......

Always been a Brad Miller fan.
Was slaughtered at Melbourne for years.
Have never said anywhere on here that I didnt approve of him.
At least you know what you get with Brad, a contest at all times, unlike some

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Get to watch Pia for another year!
