    Miller ... Not Johnstone.

    Yay!

    I'm somewhat more comfortable with Miller than TJ.

    this is just getting worse. Only Melbourne players i would be remotely interested in are Bruce, Green, Davey, Bate, Mclean, Jones.

    Do not rate Miller at all.

      First round draft pick to be kept.
      Third round to be used on Bird.
      Jolly to stay.

      So that means our second rounder for Miller? maybe with a fringe player?

        Roos said the Swans also had an interest in Geelong's out-of-contract midfielder Kane Tenace and Brisbane defender/midfield player Justin Sherman, who is contracted to the Lions for another two years.
        Now that sounds good.

        But another fwd? He's got to be kidding. We've got two great fwds in Hall & Davis, Two mid to upper tier fwds in ROK & Schneider (Who will hopefully develop), MO'L & a spare ruckman and that's a "full" fwd line. And that's without even looking at some of the younger players.

        Time to get some pace and run around the midfield.

          Miller????????
          "leaning toward keeping our first pick" this is Roos speak for "desperate to yet again give away a decent pick for the best player we get offerred."

          We could get a Masten, Ebert, Collier for that pick.

          On the other hand maybe Tenace is a better player than they will be....he did go #7 himself and has been injured.

          Sherman's a HFF isn't he? WTF do we want another one of those for?

          We'll take Hasleby for pick 11. We haven't had a decent possession getter since Kelly and Williams. Hopefully pulling on the red and white will get him a new personality as well.

            Sherman is more of a midfielder. Showed great signs last year and early this year before going off the boil.

            I'd take Hasleby for pick 11 too.

              I agree that we need pace in the midfield, but I believe Kennelly can become the classy midfielder we're looking for.

              Collectively, our forward line is overrated. Individually they're all really good footballers, but they're all similar. O'Keefe is really the only one capable of taking a strong contested mark. I'm not saying Miller is the answer to this but I don't think our forward line is as good as people make out.

                Now we're getting somewhere....


                We should be targeting Tenace, Haselby & Sherman.... In that order.

                Forget Miller and Johnstone.

                Now who's going to tell Roos?

                  You live in Sydney, I vote that you and Annie can tell him, if he won't listen to you, I'm sure Annie can get him to listen.

                    He's had to change his number three times because of Annie already, another won't hurt!!

                      I would rather Kepler Bradley.

                        Demonland are happy to give up Miller
                        Why would we want Miller when we have Grundy and Vogels? All pretty much the same dimensions and would probably be playing a similar role. Sure Miller has played more senior games, but really there is not much between them.

                          Vogels is gawn.

                          I think we should use Miller down back.

                            They are certainly not getting Bukes like they all seem to think...

                              Yeah it's funny. They expect us to give up a premiership midfielder for a bloke who can't crack a game in the worst forward line in the AFL.

                              Laughable.
