Brad Miller

[gothedons]

What are your thoughts on Brad Miller? Will he take the next step in '06 and become a reliable KPP?

 

[Bartram_Class]

Is already our CHF week in week out.

A bit inconsistent at this stage and definetly needs to kick a few more goals but is a great prospect. Leads hard and straight at the ball, also has a great pair of hands. Needs to stop handballing when he takes a mark though.

links everyone up beautifully just needs some more confidence with his kicking skills etc

Kinda like Robbo circa 2002 he played a similar role and then was eventually taught how to kick properly.

If he can start kicking goals he will play a vital role in our team

Great lad by the way just needs sum kicking practise and big 'Milsy' will be an elite player!!

Don't mind him handballing, just needs to be more judicial with his options. Opposition now awake to his tactic of off-loading the ball nearly after every mark. Just needs to mix his game up a bit more. But very good on a fast lead.

Milsy got a big head last yr i thought and dropped off a bit. I think as he matures his head will be right and his body alrerady is

what he said

 

[The Shev]

Since Round 1, 2004

40 matches (out of 46)

Ave. 5.8 marks per game
Ave. 15.1 disposals per game
Ave. 1.5 tackles per game

However, he has only kicked 19.11 goals, which is too low for a forward of any kind. Yes he does play very far up the ground (given we've got Neitz, Holland and Robertson inside 50 that's understandable) but to take the next step as a player, he must be able to hurt teams on the scoreboard and kick more goals. His target for next year should be 25 goals, and 150 marks. If he can achieve that, then it will help the team a hell of a lot.

I dont' think he is a naturall forward, it might be something he will grow into. I think if i remember correctly he was drafted as a CHB, not sure....... it wouldn't suprise me if i was wrong.

I love the bloke i think he is awesome and will a great player from the MFC. I just pose though is he more a HFF? He plays up the ground and not really a goal kicker maybe more a link man.

This is just an idea (projected 2006)

Miller ??? Pickett/Motlop/Bruce/Green
Robbo Neitz Yze/Davey


Miller is the link man up the ground,
CHF, Robbo & Neita play from the sqaure either line abrest/astern or V formation
Yze/Davey play as flankers up the ground or can float
Pickett/Motlop/Bruce/Green - sort of like resting midfeilders who can make an impact etc

its just a theory but i don't think Miller at the moment is a true CHF. Who is going to be is the question. Hopefully a Smith, Bate or Dunn can step up!!

Just food for thought!

needs to be more damaging on the scoreboard, work on his kicking and be an overall smarter player.
