You're correct. Miller is hopeless as a backman. He may be serviceable as a second ruck but otherwise DUD DELIST

I'm sorry kids Miller was my kid to watch fir the last 3 yrs.
He can't read high balls,, he is always out pointed in 1 on 1 and has no presence in defence. Fowards aren't scared.
I see Miller and Young to
Thursfield and McGunane.
We need a Astbury and Grimes to replace them

Good observations TM. This year I have especially noticed this a lot..."Structure's a little bit wonky, players aren't quite in the spot they're supposed to be in, players hesitate for a half second because someone's stagnant when they should be moving, players begin to lose a little trust in what they're supposed to be doing."
Been really obvious when a player with the ball is expecting a team mate to be on the move to receive a handball but they're standing watching, so the handball is given to them anyway, but so late they are tackled and momentum lost. Not only caused by personnel changes but being forced to use players with less ability to read the play and react quickly enough to keep the ball moving forward. Hopefully we can draft some top liners this year and next, with the skills we need around the packs and across the ground.
this is pretty much bang on what it looks like is happening
Miller/Brown & Banks all hate making body contact when contesting in the air.
Less so banks but it irks me no end with the other 2.
Bordering on being soft.

I reckon Brown will improve his physical presence nec year after his shoulder surgery but Miller is soft in some games but not in others.
I read on another forum a potential rumor of Leek Aleer we could be interested in.
Down the line Dave would struggle a bit now I reckon in this current incarnation. Footskills imperative. Miller’s disposal skills are vastly underrated on here.
That's fine. Stick with your nostagic take.
I'd take Ben's disposal every day.
Castagnated too a victim of the current incarnation of the game.
McIntosh too being weeded out.
Can't carry players with poor foot skills.
Clinical over chaos.
Turnovers are severely punished now.

Chaos still winning finals over clinical.
Look at Collingwood last year.
Interesting to see how this years finals go.
GWS being the biggest exponents of chaos football. Hawthorn another.
Look at Collingwood this year. A one-year reign doesn't warrant a style.
The point was, that when the stakes and pace goes up in big finals, outside Geelong in 22 (who got a charmed run through) clinical football hasn't got it done.
Even Geelong put more dare in their game.
Until we see otherwise It's atill the teams that can play Chaos football and bring the most pressure that have won out.
Injuries destroyed them. No team can compete when missing too many key players. If they had their full list for most of the year they are Top 4. Easily.
We make the 8 if we have a full list to choose from for most of the year.
Injuries are the single most critical factor in success.
Naicos, Daicos, Sidebum, Pendles, DeGooey, Hill, Moore etc etc
Its not like Collingwood had a shortage of good users of the ball.

Collingwood's kicking last year was great at speed. It was an evolution of our chaos game whilst based off the same principles.
Spot on.
