Showing his AFL build now and I liked some leadership he showed around the ground. It's always great watching kids develop.

VFL Round 9 Richmond v Essendon - Dreamtime Double Header at the G

Hopefully it can build some belief and he continues to impact the games
I think Bradtke has had a lot of ānearlyā moments the last two weeks. Dropped a few marks he shouldāve taken, missed some shots, got run down in the goal square 
. Itās only his 5th VFL game for the club and 7th overall. People need to be patient with him. He has definitely shown some signs, just needs refinement

Sonsie in defence is just ridiculous. Loved his centre clearance late in the game, he should be playing midfield every week. I understand why theyāre trialling Bauer down back (who I thought struggled today, has been good otherwise but still in my opinion Iād prefer him forward), but Sonsie down back is a real head scratcher
Amazing comeback win,was working and checking scores, accepted that they had won till.i checked yhd scored surprised.
Yes, found the way we are playing and shocking errors hard to handle, but couldn't stay away and did switch back on for last 10m.
Amazing turnaround - from what I can tell, some effective moves by Moro to stack the FL with our talls in support of Bradtke to stop their intercept marking and rebounds. Smart because Tresize is game as a very undersized ruck but did the job by leaping and competing.
From what I saw Cumbo and Miller really played very well; big final Qs. Well done to the boys; but it has to be remembered that both AFL and VFL GCS teams thrashed us this year.
If we don't get back to the draft and make some good selections, we will be further surpassed IMHO. Anyway, happy ending.
Agreed. I wonder (hopefully) if this will be his turning point, when he realises he can lead, he should take responsibility, he can step up and turn a game.
So you bag everyone all game and now jump on the bandwagon, I bet the players really respect supporters like youYeah it really hurt....

Whatever the reason itās frustrating because he wouldāve been jostling for Dow for midfield time in this weeks AFL game Iād have thought, then finds himself down back
Miller seems to have gained confidence from his stint at AFL level, did some nice things. Really like Biggie up forward, hope we persist with that. Shouldāve had a couple more goals (cumbo stole that one late from the free in the goal square
).Did you think he was stiff to be dropped TF, like me? I thought it was an improved game from him last week. Sure, if Nank is fit, we want him back in the side. But he better be 100% - don't want another quick breakdown like with Lynch, Soldo, Tarrant, Gibcus et al.
Miller just needs to build his confidence; get a bit harder. Never going to be tall enough to compete with the huge No.1 ruckmen, but his versatilityis his value. If he can rest forward and be a marking/goaling threat, or be able to drift back and take some relieving marks, could be another Benny Gale type.
But I really think he is showing AFL traits that give him a future with us, along with young Ryan. Soldo is looking the most vulnerable to me.
Don't think it was Tresize that rucked but he played a big role in the last. We do have another long haired dude that goes in there occasionally.
Yep, after last 2 wins we should've kept him in, but I suppose Nank is our co-captain and can't be demoted to 2nds. Just hope he doesn't mess the rucking tonight. All ahead for Big Ben.
