He was recruited as a forward/ruck, given plenty of opportunity down back, then for last couple of years was really given the easiest gig in football- a 3rd forward/2nd ruck- with minimal expectations, other than dont be hopeless. Unfortunately too often he was hopeless, mixed with a little bit of ok.Seriously though, spent the first four and a half years on the list as a defender. Hardwick gave him every opportunity, more than he deserved.
I have more chance with winning the lottery that Ben becoming more aggressive on the parkHe's 24 years old now.
He's got to get some *smile* in him!
He’s yet another player who needs beliefMiller has Balta esque capability, he just doesn't seem to want it enough.
He can leap tall midgets, burst away from packs, hoof the pill a mile and take a grab in the clouds. We have seen it.
We want more of it.
We keep hopin' and wishin' but I just don't think it's in him.He's 24 years old now.

The door will never be opened wider for Funky to groove his way through than right now. Gibber down for another season and Toby Tylar out with concussion.Ben Miller (23 disposals, 10 marks, nine rebound-50s)
"Probably the best game I've seen Ben play. I thought he was an outstanding leader of our back six. He won the ball back for us, he took three contested marks, he had an impact with his big spoils and I thought he used the ball well. Really pleased for Ben and looking forward to seeing that on a consistent basis."
Morris has a bit of a dig at Minson here. Wants to see "that on a consistent basis". That's pretty clear.
I'm 74 & the missus says I've got plenty so no doubt she'd be saying he's welcome to mine. CheersHe's 24 years old now.

Yeah nah. Balta is an elite mark. Ben's weakness has always been in the air.Miller has Balta esque capability
If only Ben would bring that game to the firsts. Reckon this week will be his chance so if it comes, I hope he wont blow itBen Miller (23 disposals, 10 marks, nine rebound-50s)
