See your point but by most clubs standards we are going to be over supplied with rucks. We didn’t fight to hard to keep two last year and I think he might go, especially if he is highly valued by our friends at GWS.

Pick 63, 2017 Ben Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
- Thread starter an_oxford_man

The mark & subsequent goal shows just how high his confidence is.
Wasn't an easy mark, hit it at pace & marked the ball at the highest possible point

Dare I say he has the physical skills to be a better player than David Astbury if his overhead marking continues on its current trajectory.
Taller, Faster and definitely more agile. Better by foot too.
Long way to go as David was a champion but I can see the potential if they can get him to understand what it takes to dominate an opponent.
We’ve been gifted an emerging key position player from right under our own noses.
So exciting

and get him to understand that he has it in him to become a very good AFL player
Soldo is not enough of an upgrade for GWS to seek him, and is too valuable a back-up for us to let him go.
All good clubs have 2-3 genuine ruck options. Miller at 198cm has genuine versatility and is getting better with each outing. When his 2 year contract comes to an end, (he will be 24/25yo) Nanak will be 30, Tarrant would have retired, Broad will be 31, Grimes 32, Vloss 30, Lynch 31, Jack would have retired. There will be a few KPP spots to fill over the next few years.
I actually think he moves and looks like his opponent yesterday, McEvoy.
My mate said this at the game. Plus he had bandages on for good measure.
Saying Ben could be better player than Dave is borderline heresy! Seriously, as a supporter of Ben, I do agree that has all the attributes to hit those lofty heights as his career progresses. As his confidence in his own abilities improves as it has done in the last four of five games he will go places!
Freo have abandoned there chase for Ricky Jackson and now preparing to chase Hard for Miller.
Sources from WA are reporting 3 1st rounders will be bare minimum in any trade for Benny Miller

Dave was also a tough bastard ...underated cos he was steady.
I always saw Dave as a CHB type even when he started forward. Had defender written all over him for mine.
If Ben gets to Astburys level of physical play with his better athleticism he is going to be a dominant tall.
Soldo will also most likely go up two gears next season after a full pre season and a year and a half post ACL, should get closer to his 19/20 condition with some luck, and increased confidence in his knee.
I posted this back in April , The club should have given him the extra year and tied him up for longer
So good to see him finally getting his chance to cement his spot
Played Fwd/Ruck as a junior and defence in the VFL , Perfect Swingman combined with Balta they will give us so much flexibility
Gibcus
Balta
Miller
Ryan
Soldo ruck
At this stage also Bauer Nyuon Colina
And we’ll recruit others
I like how Biggie is progressing. Terrific anticipation and interception
