Surely this means he is no longer part of our plans!

Mmmme I bet you Godfrey and Holland are still in the side. Match winners those two.

Miller has a wrist injury.

Is it a legitimate wrist injury or a face saving "late" injury because they didn't want to admit dropping him?

Send your conspiracy theories on the back of a postcard to the usual address.

Might I suggest Mark Williams said he didn't want him spoiling a perfectly good Sandy set-up.

We dont need him, bate along with dunn can play along the half forward line.

And they actually kick the ball. I'd much rather have those two guys playing as the two-pronged CHF than miller. I was holding onto any possibility that the guy could be something (ANYTHING), but his persistence to handball it has lost me. The guy is a dud.

Bate took a couple of grabs around CHF yesterday and handballed intelligently. This is the major difference between the two.

Not to mention kicked a crunch goal 45 metres out on a tough angle and actually showed some emotion.

I've copped alot of flak for bashing Miller over the years, people don't understand you don't have to love every player that plays for your team.

I hope Miller isn't picked this week! ND should realise he doesn't do the team any favours!

Miller showed plenty of promise 2 years back. I wonder what it is about the MFC but they struggle to develop their big forwards - that has to be a coaching problem - perhaps they are not interested in developing forwards as they have Neitz and Robbo. But in the last five years, most of our forward line recruites have come and gone out the door.

That can't be bad luck but rather lack of vision.

I don't like bashing any Melbourne players cause I love them all to death. But I really don't think it would hurt Melbourne if Miller was gone at the end of the year.

Lets look at it this way, we play him in a very similar way to which WC play Ashley Hansen that of leading up the ground taking a lot of marks round the wings not as much in the forward 50. The main difference is though is that Hansen is a running machine with a good set of hands and a good kick. Sadly miller is not.

If Miller could play 1 in every 3 games like he did against Freo last year we would be alot higher up the ladder.

Like to have him head to the pocket and play Robbo at CHF. He has a strong pair of hands s if he could hang on to a few near the sticks, he could be quite dangerous.

give him a break hes lacking in confidence and needs a little
time to find his feet again
you will find if the melbourne midfeild gave miller some ok deliveries he would do much better.

They tried that, now the have no faith to give it to him, because he will surely run around then give a dodgy handball to someone. I have nothing against him but I just don't see him as an AFL player.


Mrs. Miller?
Hahahaha

Brad has not been dropped. He missed the last game through injury and either has not recovered or has been overlooked for the game up-coming. I have a feeling I might have ripped out some hair if he'd been included.

its not that its just i dont want another player who melbourne beleive to have no potential traded to another club and within 2 years be part of a premiership side

eg. armstrong, bishop

Let's be honest though, we have a better forward line than West Coast so Armstrong would still not be getting a game.

doesn't matter if they've played in flags they're both still average players, miller is just a stupid player and i'm not sure how he made it into the AFL if the only marks he can take are on the chest

Well you saw today that our forward line was the difference between our two sides. Our forward line is better than the Eagles too. The rest of their team though? Much better than ours, obviously.
