Miller pretty stiff I reckon but happy to see what the others have got

Miller looked horrendous when he had that shot on goal last week.

My hunch is Hugo as sub. Run, pace and carry is the priority later in the game.

Was a tight angle, think he's stiff myself

No Sonsie Cumberland or Clarke and as usual faves who had poor games last week get away unscathed.

Good to see Ryan get a go i hope they give  all three big guys a decent amount of time on the ground together.
Martin and Bolton id say will have to find a defensive bone and pressure and tackle. Cannot blame others  expect others even drop others to always cover their shortcomings.

 No idea what's behind Miller getting dropped played all over the ground.

McAdam lost his appeal so he is out

Pointless appeal TBBH

I’m a fan of Miller. Besides when he lined up for goal he was quite cool and collected in general which I like about him. Doesn’t panic.

It seems the match committee think for some reason that Young is a better option for this game.
I suppose it makes for good motivation for them both to battle it out for a spot this season.

Ryan gives Nankervis a better and longer chop out as second ruck so they don’t really need Miller for that role and can bring in Young as a specialist full back until Tarrant is ready.

Great opportunity for both players and I wish them both success. Hopefully Ryan can slot a few goals.

Looking at Adelaide they are not going in with many real tall players overall. They remain tall up fwd though with Walker 194/102 Fogarty194/99 and Himmelberg 200/99 playing fwd/ruck like we are doing with Ryan.
Last year Walker kicked 5 and Himmelberg kicked 4 and Fogarty did not play. I reckon you could make a case for Miller to play against one of them as we only have Balta and Young who are big key defenders. Looks like Grimesy is going to have to take one of them.

Its up fwd with Lynch Riewoldt and now Ryan that we can hurt them imo as they only have Murray 194/98 and Dawson 192/86 as kpd and above 190cm.

In my view Miller still plays. Riewoldt to stay in Melbourne. Very surprised that neither Sonsie or Dow were named. Really Shocked actually.

Both were streets ahead in my view

Cmon Crackers that does not make sense. Even at age 34 Riewoldt gives heaps more as a fwd than Ben. And playing Ryan as the third forward second ruck just makes sense. Really looking forward to see how much the third tall forward frees up Lynchy and Jack.

What i would be doing is taking Miller as the sub just in case they get hold of young and Balta in defence. Ben can play all parts  of the ground and in that sense makes a good sub.

Imo all of Sonsie and yes Dow has had a good preseason, Clarke and Cumberland will struggle to get regular games. The coaches are just way too determined to find ways to keep old favorites in the team.

How deluded is Hooch he is still talking about Castagna and the role he did hence the Mansell decision. FMD the game changed 3 seasons ago and Castagna had been horrid for all of them. Time for a new coach imo especially if he cannot see his way to giving what good kids we have a decent go.

Yep the old favorites that have won us three flags in recent years. You really can't expect them to drop  Camdon, Trent, Jack, Nick etc on one down game (the only game). How about giving the guys that have got us there for many years the benifits of at least one down game.  I like that they have given Ryan a go but on all reports Cumberland was not great last week in the VFL so why pick him?  Nah don't answer that as you will only insult me, the coaches etc and you really can't justify selecting somebody who is not. currently performing.
