Pick 63, 2017 Ben Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.

[momentai]

That's cool, but he spends a massive amount of time in no mans land. I get that he spoils and kills the ball in the air, but that is about all we are going to get I think. And the issue for me is that I feel he only gets to spoil because the contest comes to him, either by high balls forward or following his man to the contest. That makes him a very limited player in modern footy.

I had very high hopes for Miller, being a WA boy and all.

But I agree with @Little Ziggyadee's earlier post. I thought he was set for a break out season in 2023 and we didn't get it despite the opportunities available.

I still hope he makes it, but I now have serious reservations.

He is the most frustrating talk to play for us since Paddy Guinane, but I still have hope!

I had Paddy's number on my first footy jumper. Loved him.

Yes he could be frustrating.

First thing is settling him in a position like alot of our players just filling up holes.

Bullas ?

Bullas ?

Griffiths from an ability perspective - should have been a star.

Griffens like Miller lacked aggression.

Unfortunately for Griff the head knocks just made him less inclined to throw himself around (and with good reason).

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

More and more KP players are being drafted/recruited, which means Bens spot is now under serious threat (if it wasn't already).

Last chance saloon, otherwise he's goneski.

I’m wondering if he is not already a list clogger given some of the talent that was available in last night’s draft. Def under the pump..

And self-belief looking from the outside.

I think Ben is the definition of list clogger. 6 seasons for 25 games.

I think he was given a pretty good crack this year, and the end of 2022, as a fwd/ruck. he just couldnt take it.

His not a forward ruck. Either a key position defender or try him full-time forward.

Talls get a bit more time usually but yeah.

Who remembers when Paddy Guinane kicked the ground in a game in 1966 ?
Cost us the game by memory

He clunked a beautiful contested mark in the goal square

That ticked the ability box for me

I'm pretty sure that's what he played as a junior.- forward and ruck.

He is an ok defender, but not in our top 3/4 tall backs, but he had the chance to claim that spot in the forward line but couldnt take it.
He will never be a good enough forward not to have to ruck as well.
