View Full Version : Miller Out - Recruiting Restructure at Tiger Land
Realistic Tiger
15 Jun 2007, 05:06
GREG Miller has been removed from overseeing Richmond's recruiting, with the club embarking on a nationwide search for a talent and list manager as part of a radical restructure of the Tigers' football department.
Although Miller will retain his role as director of football, he appears to have become the first casualty of the restructure, following the club's indifferent recruiting performance over the past five years.
Francis Jackson is expected to retain his role as the club's full-time recruitment manager, with the Tigers also looking to invest in not only an overall list manager to oversee recruiting, but at least two part-time talent-spotters working outside Victoria.
Miller is understood to have met club directors, including president Gary March, over the past week with a final series of recommendations regarding the planned changes to go before the Richmond board next week.
With the Tigers languishing at the bottom of the AFL ladder 11 rounds into the season, without a win, March told The Age after the Geelong thrashing at the start of last month that his board and chief executive had already embarked upon further rebuilding and a restructure of the club's under-resourced football department.
This followed coach Terry Wallace's comments on the eve of the season, that detailed and revealed the club's challenge regarding massive holes in his team's list.
March, when contacted by The Age last night, refused to comment on Miller's relatively reduced new role, saying no final decisions had been made.
Appointed to the board as part of the Clinton Casey ticket at the end of 2004, Miller does not face re-election until the end of 2008. It is not known whether he will retain his position until then.
Increasingly forced to defend Richmond's recruiting performance, since he joined the club almost five years ago, Miller is expected to continue to work with chief executive Steven Wright and the new list manager on player contracts.

Good things come to those who wait. Finally it looks as though the club has seen the light and has removed Miller from the recruiting dept. By the looks of that article the club has started to get its act together off the field, spending money in areas we need to, to actually start improving.

Positve step indeed, and clearly shows the increasing influence of a quality manager in steve wright. Miller was trying to perform this task from the dark ages where a fat cheque book and a couple of snoops in the Vic country leagues were enough to be cut above the pack...sadly in 2007 this just doesnt cut it and no suprises as to where we find ourselves in right now. Lets just hope this new appointment is a fresh faced forward thinking genius rather than some old rhelic looking to bolster his super before retirement looms:eek:

Dear Gary & Steve
This could be the most exciting & positive news for decades. Taking the right decisions now has the potential to set our club up for the the consistent level of success we believe we deserve.
Appointing the very best available "Head of Football Development" will be the key. A person of the highest calibre with the necessary depth & breadth of knowledge & experience. Someone with the right know-how in player education, training & development. Someone who shares overall responsibility with the senior Coach for development & performance. And someone the confidence & courage to take the difficult decisions. (Someone like Philip Walsh might have the goods).
But, according to Caro, "....Miller will retain his role as Director of Football....". So what exactly does this mean? That Miller will be "Boss of Football" or "Chief of Football". Surely not! Maybe he is the Director on the Board with responsibility for football? And that then perpetuates the conflict of interest in having a paid employee (below the level of CEO) as a Board Director.
So, Gary & Steve, it will be important to provide clarity around the roles & functions of those in the key positions.
Tiger supporters are very patient people. Taking a little more time to get this absolutely right from the outset will be crucial to our future success. We commend you Gary & Steve on your initiative thus far. We are placing a lot of faith in you making the right decisions.

As the president of carlton has said, "if they're the best available then they're not the best."
We need the best and should pay for it appropriately.
So every clever man that voted for Miller to be on the board, you just realised that you also made him unsackable.
He can only be voted off the board by the members, and that cant take place until the end of 2008

His time will come though. If the jungle drums start beating hard enough he can be sacked by the president or CEO cant he?

Only the members can vote him off the board. CEO reports to him. President not the board cant sack him either
He's going to continue to influence the place behind the scenes until the end of next season.
And we cant blame the club for this one. We the members voted him in there.

Why would you want to get rid of him all together when he is the best man for wheeling and dealing at the trade table. He is a great negotiator and will be able to target uncontracted players such as Charman or Meeson to be picked up in the PSD.
It's a good move to get a full time recruiter but Millers expertise should not be discounted.

Now this is demoralising...our club has basically said "our recruiting over the last 5 years has not been up to scratch" and they are admitting we have made too many mistakes picking players..
We are making another half million profit this year at least, why can't we just spend our entire profits on recruiting? lol I know that is not realistic but we are not the poorest and cheapest club in the AFL - so why do we act like it?

No he's not. That's a myth. What he is good at is paying over the odds for players. Recruiting Nathan Brown is not that great a challenge when you're prepared to pay him 100% more than any other club.
And dont get me started on what he wanted to pay a half back flanker like Solomon

1980 is right about the guys who voted Miller on the board. I was more anti-Casey than pro-Miller at the time. Anyway that is history and bound to start a flame war.
Probably not a bad move. Being a bullshit artist and smooth talker has its uses but it's pretty obvious he was juggling too many hats. Lets face it there are better recruiters out there.
I don't mind Miller being the mouthpiece to get the deals done. We just need someone damn good to put the pieces together behind the scenes.
I don't think there is any need to sack him. Probably an EGM could be arranged with enough signatures. Isn't that what Pahoff was going to do?

I don't know if it is actually saying that in relation to the actual players recruited themselves ,moreso the financial constraints which are real. This is ofcourse of still of great concern but I don't think anyone will be making a definitive statement on the players recruited (from 2003 draft onwards) themselves until 2009.
I'm glad Miller has less to do, it's never the ideal situation to have someone wearing so many hats ( I also voted against his 'blackmail' tactics at the elections). I don't have a problem with him being at the club but I agree that finance for recruitment should be made top priority.

apart from the ridiculous contract krak gets which is 250k per year :eek: i think Miller has been very very good in bringing player contracts down. Gaspar took a significant pay cut, simmonds on abt 230k a year, bowdens contract was renegotiated and is very fair.. Solomon was at his prime, was still very young, that was his market value at the time, thankfully that didnt work out :o
......good to see the club is trying to improve this area. It was the right move, Miller was doing too much
Miller has become the scapegoat for an under-resourced, factional and poorly performed Victorian club.
It is clear he has been bridging gaps with minimal resources whilst at the same time trying to adhere to a some form of long term plan.
We are just starting to catch the opposition but overall are still a long way behind.
We are starting to see the consolidation that a little financial stability can bring.
Everyone has been expecting him to turn water into wine, it was never going to happen. He has done well to hold the fort and now we take another small incremental step forward.

not really demoralising imo because at least there has been an acknowledgement of the sub par recruiting and steps are being taken to rectify it. I see it as a good thing that the club admits its recruiting has been relatively shithouse.

raises more doubts over meyer, pattison and co:(

hope miller's pay gets a significant cut, and he is happy with that. he is still a useful person to have at the club IMO

bull-kaka
he hasn't been made a scapegoat at all . your right, he has been doing 5 jobs at once - and you cnat expect someone to perform at his best when doing so - so they have released him of the job he has been doing the worse performance for, so he can continue and improve the fine jobs he has been doing.
basically, we obviously have some extra resoursces to spend on another professional to come in and do a very important job for us. doesn't make him a scapegoat

richmond supporters always look for a scapegoat
4 years ago it was great that we had an administrator who could make things happen like get high profile players like kane Johnson and N. Brown to choose the tigers over other suitors, now in hindsight he is ridiculed and bagged incessantlyh on this board for doing what every single rfc supporter wanted at the time..

its no good just having francis jackson and other part time recruiters if you want to be fair dinkum, we need a proper list manager who can point out to miller the cockups made the past 5 years and slowly but surely fill the holes
your not going to get the best guy out there at this time of the year anyway so i still dont know wtf they are going to do but its a step in the right direction

1.It's not demolarising, it's a step in the right direction, one of many we have made over the last couple of seasons that are seeing our club finally catching up a bit.
2. It's admitting a problem that because of money, we had a guy that was on the board, in charge of the football department and head of recruiting. Too many hats. Now we have a bit more money, we can afford to let him concentrate on more appropriate matters and get a specialised recruiting manager in.
3. We are one of the poorest clubs. We have a big debt to pay off and a redevelopment of Punt Road coming up. These are competing for resources with recruiting and the football department. Money is in short supply whilst areas needing money are plentiful.

Judge it by it's financial position. By it's number of members. By it's quality of list. By the number of games it's been competitive in, despite fielding extremely young sides. Judge it by the potential in the list to build for the future and the rapidly dwindling number of mid-level players that will never take us past 9th place. Sure wins are important, but they are not everything.
Whether you want to ignore it or not, we are improving in every aspect of the club and in most cases, are light-years ahead of where we were 3 seasons ago. No longer are we a club satisfied with building side with mid-level recycled players that will scrape together 8-10 wins a season and be content with 9th place (which you would seem to prefer).
My eyes are wide open to everything that matters, not just one thing.

Finance is but one of the important factors.
Who is 'they', that make profits from success breeding success? That'd be nice and all, but when you're starting from bottom, with big debts, poor facilities etc etc that you have inherited, success is not possible in modern football. Money is massively more important these days than it was 10 years ago when a side like North Melbourne could win flags despite being an off-field rabble.
Nowadays, money rules all. More money means a full list or rookies. More money means the best assistant coaches. It means player development managers aplenty. It means more sports scientists and physios than you can dream of to make sure you're getting the most out of your players. It means more recruiters watching more kids more often, to make sure you draft the right ones.
Money money money.
We don't have it. The current administration inherited big problems when they took over. They are gradually righting the ship and eventually we will be at a point when we can compete with the big clubs, both on and off field.

ive voiced concern about this bloke and criticised his work in the footy dpt for the last 4 yrs. its cost me plenty when debating him with other tiger supporters. his performance even contributed to me getting banned from anothe r site. i now feel vindicated but wont be happy until the overrated underachieving dud is gone altogether.

fund raising and cost cutting can only get you so far
you want to make money the best way is to get a quality team on the park, you dont feel sorry for yourself and cry about what you dont have you just get on with the job and do what you can
we might trickle past the 30k members this year but it wont mean shit because there are a heap of other clubs who are moving up as well, we wont smash the mid 30's until we see finals action and thats a long way away

Isn't that what we're doing though? Finally trying to build a quality team, recognising finally that we may actually have to go through some rebuilding to do that, rather than just keeping on bringing in mid-level guys from other clubs to get us 8 wins a year but not have any improvement in the list?

Go do a google on it
Yes and now that the Roos found their permanent CEo they are next door to what used to be Fitzroy and is now Brisbane.
Man, are you that simple?
So you google on something, read what someone has written, that automatically to you means its "informed", and hence you are "informed'?
LMAO, what a dip stick.
Here is a tip, you might want to see what was happening, prior to him getting there, what happened while he was there, what is happening now after he left them what? 6or 7 years ago or was it 10?. Then ask yourself, what time would the Roos supporters beg to have back. You might even learn the skill of becoming informed by using your own brain and not reading what someone else writes. ;)

When someone tells you to "Do a google" they're telling you you dont have a clue.
The Roos are the surprise team of this season. Not too many of their members are compaining. Go ask them what they thought of Miller as their interim CEO.

hmm, yeah i bet you have asked "them". I mean, you most likely have talked to 3, and hence you are "well" informed, seeing as they must have been well informed, in your mind at least.
Surprise team? naaa, they are following our pattern of years gone past, stay tuned. i.e. i take it you watched them against the crows? If you did, did you any doubts that they were toast? So the roo supporters are not complaining because their team is mediocre huh? Sound familiar? Or you might want to add that they have a coach who wears his heart on his sleeve, to make it sound even more familiar. ;)

I hope its a sign that tigers focus on the small/slightly built crumber is not the way to go. you cant fill the side with 6 or 7 crumbers and expect get anywhere and its time to go for the stronger player.
You still haven't told us which team you support ;)
