Miller is a talent, no doubt about that, he is also the hard nut that Melbourne really needs to stamp our authority on the competition. But why can't he have a shot at goal more than once every few games? We know he can kick a few, and he does play up the ground, but he had a couple of opportunity's for goals on the weekend where he kicked to a contest instead.

The strong leading Miller at full forward with some kicking boots on would be a daunting task for any full back.

Agree, Miler is an absolute gun at the moment, would be even better if he could kick a few more but with Melbournes forward line, is not that bad if he cant snag a couple a match.

Reasons Miller doesn't have many shots at goal/doesn't play full forward:
1. He's an average kick, would be as accurate as Ben Holland kicking for goal.
2. His biggest asset is his ability to run all day, something he can't do at full forward.
3. He is important to straigten us up as a linkman through the center.
4. We have better options at full forward.

Absolutely could not agree with you more.
