he is a deadset dud, but worse than that, he is a softie.

i think one of the softest players i have ever seen.

His first half of the year was solid.

Once he got the extension it went downhill lol

I reckon he goes ok. We’re not going to build a backline around him but neither did we build one around Astbury. He may or may not make but is a solid interim option whilst we work all of that out long term.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

He may not be best 22 when we are up and running, but injuries happen and he’s good depth.

It’s up to players like Blight to push him out .

Gee wizz, I thought he was ok yesterday. It would help if our mids put pressure on the ball coming in...

Miller is a good kick, but like many of our players, if the system isn't right or doesn't exist, they will turn it over. Even Dan Rioli yesterday....

Thought he was poor again yesterday

Fancy get meekly getting pushed out of a one on one contest by Ben Long

His last 6 weeks have been average at best. Was a huge rap for him for most of the season but the last 3 weeks in particular he lost me

Are you comparing him to Astbury? Because Dave is well well clear in that comparison.

There was a passage of play I think it was in the second quarter where the ball was on the ground and he refused to pick it up in live play even though he was the closest player and by doing so would have cleared the area.

He is one of many we just had to sign to a new 2 year deal after a few reasonable games. Just to stop all the top clubs from coming for our uncontracted superstars.

To be fair though we've got no one else to play there at the present time. Sad
