Ben Miller [merged]

[Knighter]

Great game by Big Ben i thought. Spoiled and used his body in the contest’s really well. More of that thanks 

Miller beat Dixon fairly comfortably. It was Marshall and Finlayson that put us to the sword today……pricks.

[Tiger Khosh]

Similarly with Young, he’s no world beater, but can absolutely hold a spot in our backline as we’re going through the rebuild.

Has poise and skill.

Should be persisted with. I still think he's always been a better option that young. I don't know why he was overlooked for Young in the first place.

More versatile a player too which is very handy if things don't go to plan elsewhere.

[Tiger Khosh]

He’s faster, stronger and more skilled than young.

Young’s prob the better 1v1 defender though

[lamington]

I like Miller’s run. But I think it was 2022 there was a stat where % wise young wins a lot of 1vs1

[the claw]

im going with the crowd has more tools than young and is going all right atm.

Completely different players and not to be compared. Both have a role to play

[TigerLand]

I've always liked Miller. Hope he gets a proper long term crack at it.

[Andyy]

Didn't like seeing him slip over but a lot of players seemed to be today which was odd.

I like him plenty

If I was picking a team and I needed a KPD and I had a choice for either one I would choose Miller every single time. Young was getting games ahead of Miller as a key defender on so many occasions. I personally think Miller has better skill and much more versatility than Young so if I was choosing I'd default to Miller every time. The selection committee didn't think the same thing as they were giving Young preference in that position. 
So that's why I was comparing them both.
I do agree we could use them both in the team.

Don't underestimate Young, was hardly beaten last season. His kicking has improved out of site and hardly gets beaten in one on one contests

[Diocletian]

Young's a poor man's Thursty....

[The Machine]

Enjoying seeing Ben grow in confidence as each game passes

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER: Ben Miller

Ben Miller has been thrown around a bit in his career to date, spending time in defence, in the forward line and as a relief ruckman.

Last year he did all three at different stages across his 13 appearances, often used as a bit-part player to fill a void.

That has somewhat been the case again in 2024 with Miller stepping in to replace the injured Josh Gibcus as a key defender.

Adem Yze broke glass in case of emergency and has not yet been let down by the 24-year-old who has shown he can be a dependable backman in a rebuilding team.

Miller is averaging career highs in disposals (12.7), marks (5.3) and rebound 50s (4), has chimed in with two intercept marks per game and leads the Tigers for spoils with 24 which ranks 12th in the league.
