Regarding Miller and Juice it's shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. But why not.

 

[bloodpumpsRnB]

Hopefully Miller can find some form at Casey.

 

[half back flank]

Good, pity about Rivers, he was our best defender last week and also kicked a few against them in a QB game a few years back.

Where is Maric? not even a Emergiency

 

[ptrg]

Hopefully Miller can find some form at Casey.

 

[FOOOOTY]

GTFO never thought id see it happen.

 

[cannons]

No Sylvia?

Also, given that Miller has been so insipid at AFL level, and Juice has been so good at VFL level, he definitely deserves his spot in the senior team.

Let's hope he makes the most of it

 

[omit]

Presti out for the pies. Maybe juice can kick some goals. lol

 

[DemonBlood]

Great to see Mckenzie keeping his spot

 

[Mr Rude]

I heard this on the way home and was about to celebrate, i then heard Newton was in.

Wow!!!! So we replace one soft dud forward with another, Bails, you're a ****ing genius!!!

 

[Joe King]

It's about bloody time. But Newton? Oh dear. Not much of an improvement. Prove me wrong, son.

 

[Supermercado]

What the **** is wrong with Rivers now? Is this going to be another Garland style "looks fine and is then never seen again" scenario?

 

[davey_magik]

All those ripping into Juice being picked, do you understand how selection works?

If you wouldn't pick Juice who else would you pick to replace him? Watts? No way. Juice kicked 4 and had 29 touches for Casey last week.

 

[melbournemartin]

I must admit, my first thought was "damn, no Sylvia" but then I saw that Miller had been dropped and that frown definitely turned upside down and then some! (does that even make sense?)

I am expecting us to be "competitive" for a quarter or MAYBE even two but the Pies will probably turn it on after the break and give us a nice touch up

Miller would have looked better at chb. IMO our backline has gapping holes. MacDonald slow, Dunn dunno, Warnock mmmmmmmm.........

Jesus Christ, this shit again.

Some players are very very good VFL players that simply cant do it at AFL level. Newton is one of them.

 

[LITTLE STINGA]

Thank god. I hope it's permanent. Dunn and Spencer are extremely lucky to still be in the side. What's going on with Maric, Martin and Cheney? Newton and Bail don't exactly fill me with hope.

 

[Darksidepoints]

Give Juice a run.

Still a few in that team that are very, very lucky to be getting a game. Spencer better do something this week - still can't believe he is in the team.

Dunn and Bate need to perform too.

 

[whelan=legend]

Was suprised to see that Juice has only been held goalless twice out of 21 games.

[Deefence]

Why the f**k is spencer still doing in this side, he had 2 possies a couple of hit outs...surely martin could do a little better than that you c**k bailey!!!!!!!

 

[Demon 16]

Wow!!!! So we replace one soft dud forward with another, Bails, you're a ****ing genius!!!

Youre right - we should have picked Carey or Lockett. Oh hang on wait - we dont have those guys.

But seriously I would agree and suggest we just play with a smaller forward line and give the guys a proper chance to show their stuff, but you cant agrue with a decent preseason and 29 touches, 4 goals at Casey. Juice has demanded another shot imo.

Thank god. I hope it's permanent. Dunn and Spencer are extremely lucky to still be in the side.

Completely agree. Dunn and Spencer should have been dealt with this week.

 

[FOOOOTY]

Is Miller out of contract this year?

 

[Beard of Nicko]

Is Miller out of contract this year?

Gold Coast Footy Club beckons for Miller at the end of this year I believe. He heads back home, works on the tan, ends up with a long career as a professional footballer. Good result for someone of his oh so limited ability.

A good physique can deceive a new coach. Take Daniel Bell, when Bailey arrived, he was all "here is a 4th year player with a great body that I'm going to get something out of". If he had called the fans on his drives home from training like Bomber Thompson did when he started at the cats he would have found out that Bell was an atrocious decision maker and turnover specialist. But he really does have a good athletic physique.

 

[LITTLE STINGA]

Is Miller out of contract this year?

Yes. He signed a one year contract. Absolute crazy decision giving him a 1 year contract, Robbo should have got that contract.
