Re: Ben "MACHINE GUN" Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
That’s clearly our moto on true talls. Be mobile, able to ruck and cover the ground.
Turk’s right, if Hayes was there at pick 403 we still would’ve passed. Miller is a huge long shot to make the grade at pick 63 but he’s exactly the right type to punt on. I like that he models himself on Jarrod Roughead. He knows what he wants to be.

Seriously hoping all the other recruiters are imbeciles n we've snaffled a premium for chump change.
There's either 20kg of mayo spread all over this story, or AFL recruiters are collectively *smile* imbeciles. Reading this article the kid should have been a top ten prospect not a fourth round after thought.caesar said:

Re: Ben "MACHINE GUN" Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
Agree, these are the ready-made kids to bring to the club. Face-on he looks like a boxer whose taken a few already...good to see. Just the toughness and determination we need in our talls, in the mould of Nanks and so different to Elton and even Gourdis if you go back a bit.pokey said:

I didn't see any "joe the goose" goals in his highlights....Mikee said:

It's possible the others have missed out on him & our guys weren't about to spread the word. players do "come on" despite being late picks. hopefully this time it's us that found the gold. at #63 it's we'll worth the punt.TigerMasochist said:

He hasn't been in a full on junior program. Instead he had to train by himself in Kalgoorlie while he finished school. Despite this he played well for the local side plus got himself to Perth and played so well they had to pick him in the state side.
Since he is not in a full on junior program most recruiters over looked him and still didn't rate him when he tested well in speed and agility.
Given the way he has been self motivated and succeeded then every chance he will continue to improve in a full on elite training program.
Thinking we have scored another late draft pick gem.

What do you expect it to say?
Big error!! Recruiters are morons!!
I reckon if our guys recruited him then they reckon he’s good.

CC should get a job at the club writing these articles. Make a great understudy to Greeners. ;D

Re: Ben "MACHINE GUN" Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
We seem to be making quite the art form out of picking up solid to premium quality late in the draft. Without even considering the resurrection of club changing players, we have the likes of Grimey Grub, Lamblett, Fridge Graham,Geezer, George, Broady, Shorty, Lloyd as well performed late picks. Still have potentials in Lego, Garth, Cholly hovering n now Miller time n Eggs have joined the line up. It seems the club is doing an extraordinary job with the chump change selections.Jonesracing82 said:

Yes I always believed that you needed to score some gems from the back end of the draft to win a premiership as you just can't rely on your top end draftees to build the depth you need - Sydney have been the classics at this over recent times.
Glad the Tigers have

Re: Ben "MACHINE GUN" Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
Looking at this blokes clips I get the feeling he will develop nicely. Almost looks ready made now with the way he moves and his physique looks ready made to develop quite easily. No chook arms here.
Being in a professional environment full time with good coaching could be a boon for this fella.
Gut says we stole another one from the back end of the draft.

Re: Ben "MACHINE GUN" Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.
All i know is playing as a foward the things i used to hate were
Defenders - 5-10cm taller than me , But thats ok i can get him on the lead and am more agile and will be faster due to making the move first
Miller will be taller and faster than most KPF as well as being more agile.
Ruckman - They hate the opposition rucks getting away from them and collecting possessions or kicking goals, It feels like its directly against you and you need to get that back - Not many Rucks that are going to keep up with Mr.Miller and he looks like he loves a goal
Playing as a foward he will give the defenders something really to worry about with his tools he has, What this kid needs to do is just get into the best physical condition he possibly can and become bigger faster and stronger - Then he needs to implement the Townsend template and become the better townsend and Hurt people both Physically and with his football
Just think about that guys - We could have a New version of Jacob Townsend
10cm -12cm Taller
15kgs heavier
alot more faster
Extremely agile Beast
That can jump high and mark over you
