“Ben has been with us for five years and put in a lot of hard work in that time,” Hartley said.

“He has shown he can play a variety of roles- down back, in the ruck and he has spent some time forward as well.

“This extension is a great reward for his effort and we look forward to that continuing.”

So does this extension mean he’s off the rookie list now? Not sure how it works.

I'm liking Miller gives us so much flexibility.

[Tiger Khosh]

Don’t think he’s come up against a top-tier ruckman yet but I haven’t really seen him get constantly beaten. More than holding his own and as Georgies says give us so much flexibility as he can play at either end.

Versatile!

[Rampsation]

I dont think its fair to judge him on whether hes come up againt a top tier ruck. Hes job is to be competitive against the 2nd rucks and help out wherever he can.

[TigerLand]

Agree Ramps. Playing a very important role.

[The Machine]

Has good ruck knowledge and leap which is pleasing. Due to being mobile, he provides a contest straight after ball ups. Love his progression

[Andyy]

Wonder if he could replace jack.

Have gibcus, Balta down back. Tarrant and Grimes for another year still.

Wonder if Knighter still thinks Biggie is better or has a higher ceiling?

Two year extension signed!

Has done well to get the extension. Imo without a doubt still has to find another couple of gears.
I scratch my head and wonder where he would be if given more opportunity. It also has me wonder why we drafted a kid who played forward and ruck and we insisted on turning him into a backman when we have  lacked  tall fwds.

Super Pick. A great Athlete could be anything. Just a great late pick. Just over the moon with this.

Going beautifully.

I only posted this so I could say I told you so lol

Going through the all the cubs in their finals debut last night.

Thought's on Miller's game?

He spent less the half the game on the ground. Only Prestia (injured) and sub Edwards spent more time on the pine.

8 disposals (3k, 5h, 7c, 1u, 62.5% eff.)
3 marks (all contested)
4 tackles (2 in50 tackles)
2 clearances (both centre clearances)
1 inside 50
14 hitouts
1 intercept
5 metres gained
1 score involvement
46% time on ground

[Andyy]

Thought his tap work was better than Nanks

[crackertiger]

Agree he should have played more game time.
