Pick 63, 2017 Ben Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.

[No 4]

I’ve had my doubts but he’s an improver
Mind you the club has given him time to learn and improve and ply his trade.

Plus playing with Nick, Rioli, Broady, Noah have assisted in his growth

 

[Don’t Argue]

I called he would be top 10 in the b and f at the start of the year as a key back and was laughed out of here. Pretty happy to stand by my call

I’m calling BS.
You’re still here

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

 

[Tigerwa]

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.

Consistency is key.

 

[Carter]

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.

 

[Mr Brightside]

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
