Harry is a decent player but if he's a Jack clone he's like one of Dolly the sheep's clones, with three left feet, severe retardation, and dead.

Pick 63, 2017 Ben Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
- Thread starter an_oxford_man
- Start date
Probably stiff to miss out considering the dees have Brown, Weiderman, McDonald, Jackson and Gawn who all can go fwd.
cannot believe they've dropped him, his second half last week was so encouraging.
MC & our game plan seem so one dimensional...no versatility.
gawn & jackson - are they trying to break nank in half?
he plays with minimal rest as bolta depletes wherever he was playing when rucking.
miller is an obvious relief ruck, can jump great reach...ever practiced at training?
Speaking of Jackson, Miller is the same size (is 198cm's now) and has similar athletic attributes. That's why I wouldn't mind seeing Miller tried in the ruck in the VFL, especially with Soldo out injured. It might be the makings of him.
Miller gets regularly out-marked by his opponent (can't make an effective spoil) is very poor below his knees and susceptible to holding the ball due to lack of awareness. All major issues for a key defender.
Not surprised to see him dropped and won't be surprised to see him moved on at the end of the year

No Miller never mixes with the ruckmen for an education at training. Unless your a legit 2nd ruckman, relief ruckmen are just run and jump and try to be a disrupter not too much science to them.
I like Miller but he’s always got a “Castagna like” bewildered look on his face
Yep Himmelberg's was Miller's man, not the worst forward has kicked 10 this season averaging 2 goals a game but 4 against us, Walker 5 basically on Tarrant not a good weekend for our tall defenders.
Jeez they must be bullish on Gibcus, straight back in, will be another great experience for the lad, goosebumps as the torch is lit and the bugle plays.

I'm hoping Prestia gains form. Vlas not a bad return. JR has been okay I reckon. If Dimma reckons a full list could contend then fine. HRS and Rioli down back have been good Dow also quite good. Gibcus wow. Interesting that they aren't playing Lambert in the firsts. Also no Stack. A pleasant selection surprise that Mansell, banks RCD and Bolton are first named. Maybe Graham as emergency.
Miller will never be that hard nose lock down defender. At best he makes it as that third tall defender playing on smaller types or as that interceptor.
Gibcus provides that lock down ability, interceptor and creates play off half back.

In my time of watching the magoos I’ve never seen a player as lacking in confidence as Ben Miller. This new bloke lacks it but he was desperate a few times against Adelaide.
I’ve never seen that before. Miller has a hungry mouth to feed. He will get more desperate for the demotion and we’ll find out if he can play.
Nice kick in the teeth for the young fellow.

To early to say after 4 games different player to Gibcus more your old fashioned defender. I don't see why he can't at 195cm plus and his quick and can read the play just needs to take a few more grabs.
he's young & keen...have a go at teaching him
i dont reckon it is rocket science
whats to lose?
agree - jack r v dees spells disaster.
our side is screaming for young big & athletic
god forbid we pick a wildcard.
