Pick 63, 2017 Ben Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
- Thread starter an_oxford_man
- Start date
Only 17 players have played more than 10 games, he's played 13 so a good chance to make top 10 but no I wouldn't have expected so at the start of the year not knowing what the injury list would be like. My main criticism would be he's a bit slow so doesn't easily get across to contests to help his other tall backs as much as would be ideal however he's has performed pretty admirally overall considering how much the ball has fired in to our defensive 50 this year.
He beat nobody..
Every one beats Curnow, the umpires help Curnow but they didn't last night therefore he was quite.
Miller was good but not unbelievable

Curnow career 157 frees for 110 against
Wonder why Mason Cox gets his 5 disposals a game? 175 for 122 against
But this takes the cake, great player but Pendlebury 498 for 207 against
For reference against our 2 great key forwards and greatest player
Lynch 253 for 278 against
Reiwoldt 321 for 335 against
Dusty 245 for 401 against
Can only beat the opponent in front of you. Thought he did that. That opponent was the coleman medalist favorite.
I only have one critique and i think it will get better as he goes.
One V one or just being stronger in the contest is a worry but he is getting there, and i think will continue to get better.
Needs to find just a bit more intensity.

Rapt with the young lad. He’s no longer timid!
I reckon he’s learned how to mongrel his opponents as opposed to manufacturing the tougher side of the game.
This is no small feat. Absolutely rapt we have developed him to this level in a hellish year where the backs are getting smashed repeatedly.

A champion key defender is a great example of how hard the caper is , Ben showed glimpses of been capable and also that he wouldn’t make the grade 6 years later we have a very good footballer, the other side is a bloke OBrien that was at the Hawks teased them for years but never delivered .
Credit to all involved with Ben and to us who kept the faith

Looking at home as KPD now. all he needs is to learn how to read the opposition a little quicker then he will be complete.
Will be 25 in a couple of months and an unrestricted free agent in 2026 when his current contract expires. Wonder how open we are to trading him?
His value is high right now but given his age, he’s unlikely to be part of our next finals side if you subscribe to the 5 year rebuild.
We could potentially leverage Miller into a top 10 pick given the premium talls seem to fetch on the open market these days. Miller will get a massive payday, we get a quality draft pick and one of the western Australian clubs get a key defender. That’s a win all-round.
Something to consider.

I believe he is a free agent for life,seeing he was delisted then rerookied
He is required to play. Need his size, just starting to blossom
I doubt any club would trade a top ten pick for a player they could get for free.
A win for him, the club that drafts him, not us. 2/3
Sorry, no it’s not
A couple of okay plays but overall, a game to forget but not alone in that respect. Must improve next week
Not his best game, but when you consider Balta had zero impact, Brown was invisible, and Rioli had a shocker, it’s not surprising he got caught out a few times.
Every player has off days. Ben will bounce back.

We seem to have a lot of players who have those days.
Had a mare. First one of his season. That's fine. We all have bad days. His challenge is to make up next week
Liked his work this year but had a shocker today... any chance of a body spoil instead of punching thin air
He was directly involved in 4 goals for GWS in the 1st half.
All 4 shouldve been spoiled.
Must be really hard for Yze watching these blokes turn up and perform when they want to.
I wouldve subbed him off alongside Sony and ransom at half time all of them.
Flappers wasn't far behind either
