HeartinHobart Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Miller seems like a trouble maker. He's no trouble maker! He just stood up for his rights! You only have to look at the performances of the Roar and the problems in the dressing room to know where the issue is. Miller is a great asset if not playing every week, then mentoring our younger players. What rights does he have? When asked to play youth - you play youth. He isn't a superstar that is except from his responsibilities. You don't cry and fabricate part of a story to make yourself look good - then ask for a release. He can "mentor" our young up and coming players (eg Melling, Retre etc) to teach them to ask for a release if they're not getting a game. Great ethics this Miller! How the hell did he fabricate a story? You like everyone else here don't know what went on with Miller and Mulvey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markn Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Has anyone heard Mulveys / Roar story? Since when is a player never spoken to after being dropped? Sounds like garbage to me. So one day he plays - then is dropped and Mulvey has never spoken to him? As if! I think Miller didn't like what he heard, and asked to leave. No other Roar player has spoken out.

Kiro Kompiro Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 He's been pretty shit for Roar TBH. I've watched many of their games because I like the way they play. Weakest midfielder they had. Slow, poor decision making, missed several open goals are things I remember. Not a fan fave either. Really only being considered due to the dire straight we are in with injuires and absences. Would not be happy if we kept him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beside I don't remember reading a single post lamenting his departure from the Roar fans on 442. Most simply said he wasn't being selected because he wasn't good enough. Mulvey hasn't said a word.

Tesla Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I really doubt this bloke will be only here for a couple o matches, which is what I was trying to point out with my post above. If he plays for us he won't be able to play in competitive games for any other club until July. The only exception is if the club in in a country with the alternative system of January-December seasons rather than July-June, then he can play for a 3rd club. But still that really limits his options. Even if he has something in place with a team in Asia for 2015, he'd probably stay here until the end of the year at least you'd think (utilising injury replacement spot/s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defibrillator Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I know he's not the most skilled or popular player here, but he does have one quality that's been lacking in our midfield until this season and that's mongrel. I think we've had a history of having a soft and small midfield, far too easily intimidated and soft enough to concede possession without aggressive recovery, and too easily pushed off the ball. Fred, Kalmar, Murdocca, Migliorini, Thompson, Worm, Hoffmam when in there, the list goes on. Engelaar was a one man band last year and Shroj prior (admittedly with no skill). This year Paartalu will come good I think and doesn't shirk, Mooy had a touch of nastiness I love, and just watching the game again Melling showed a bit. With Miller dropping in this is a midfield that won't take a backward step. Koren apparently has the same qualities from Hull forums. I'm sick of year after year watching us get bossed in midfield with not enough physical stuff - time for it to end. I'm not saying you don't need skill, but backbone can go a long way too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Just 2 weeks ago Mike Mulvey said said Liam Miller wasn't playing because he's injured: “He’s still got an issue with his calf and it’s not recovering properly,” the Roar coach said. “He’s had that problem for a while now and we’re hoping it fixes soon." http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/football/roar-coach-mike-mulvey-says-liam-millers-absence-from-game-due-to-injury-not-dummy-spit/story-fnp0lxaz-1227105366562 Clearly that's untrue with how quickly Miller has started training with Melbourne City, and the fact that Miller looks set to feature in the match this Sunday. So I'd be more inclined to believe what Miller has been saying over what Mulvey has been saying in the media (IMO Mulvey was trying to keep things internal and under wraps with the injury story, and Miller's embarrassing for Brisbane story looks closer to the true than Mulvey's calf injury story). Of course Brisbane supporters are talking down Miller, after he's, embarrassingly for Brisbane, opted to leave the club after the season's started. Just last season Miller was talked up by Brisbane supporters, and Miller did play well then, for instance with him starring in Brisbane's top class 3-0 win against victory at AAMI last season (scoring the 1st goal and assisting the 2nd www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7BhDn5x8Bw). Also, for what it's worth, Perth supporters still praised Miller after he left Perth and joined Brisbane in last season's pre-season. It's interesting to learn that Miller couldn't play for a 3rd A-League club this season. With the addition of that fact, I reckon it is likely that Miller will get a bit more of a run at Melbourne City after his very short National Team Replacement deal comes to an end. I can see Miller getting an Injury Replacement deal for 4 or so weeks, to replace Germano or Koren, and why not? We might as well do something positive with the sidelining of Germano and Koren, with Miller being a good A-League player who can add value to the team until more quality is able to join our team.

El Cunado Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Great signing. Mate of mine in Ireland grew up with him funnily enough. Will prove very useful while we wait for Koren, not to mention that Mooy may be pretty hard to nail down in the lead up to the Asian Cup if he puts in a good account of himself against Japan next week. Ideally Mauk would step straight in, but he seems to be away on international duty every other week now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Defibrillator is right. Our midfield has always been gutless. That's OK if you've got quality players instead but that isn't really possible in this league (not to the extent possible in top leagues). The closest we have come is Engelaar and Germano. I'm not entirely sure about the level of mongrel in Miller but he has been on a football field long enough to know what to do. He can pick out a pass well enough. I think he'll do alright.

Kiro Kompiro Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Mulvey defiantely didn't tell the media the truth about Millers omission. If he had he would have said "Liam's been omitted because he's been pretty shit for quite some time now. He adds very little to our forward movements, his decision making has been poor, and he has fluffed several goal scoring opportunities. Unfortunately there is only so many credits for scoring against Victory that I can give him. So Liam is back in the seconds until he can earn a place in the firsts. But being the little whiny bitch that he is, I expect him to crack the shits and quit the club. When that happens, I will deny everything I just said, and on the record to protect his future opportunities he will officially been injured with a calf strain. Thank you, that's all I have to say, except Bozza, mate, its time to embrace not fight your hair loss" Edited November 12, 2014 by Kiro Kompiro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulvey acted in a professional manner to maintain the unity of the club, and the respect of the player. Roar are too good to stay this poor for too long. They did win the league last season. Sometimes people just have to play the diplomatic card for the unity of the entire club. Miller has no club, so there is no need for him to play diplomacy.

I return serve to you and look forward to your mature counter argument - excluding the fickle name calling. Its like a $20 installment a month to get a Season Ticket so if you can justify paying that for you Club then in my book you are a Cheapskate... ESP considering since I started following this club I have known a number of schoolkids who have been able to fund the purchase of their own Memberships. Also there is reason why I found such frugalness annoying which is because if you did not notice MHFC was run on a shoestring budget its last three Seasons which and this was a significant factor on the club never making any impact on any finals series which ultimately saw the club failed to gain traction in the community and thus being sold to new owners. New owners who have since used the old shell of the club to create an entirely new one. So perhaps if a few more PPL like yourself had sacrificed a whopping $20 a month instead of only taking advantage of FREE family days and buying the odd ticket or three/five game membership when they are basically being given away so the club can scap some coins together.... Then just maybe MHFC would have more cash flow to spend on player salaries, coaches salaries or most of all much need improvements to its facilities to enable the club to make an impact on the finals and capture Melbourne's imagination and who knows if they had happened its highly likely MHFC would still exist. (This is not such an inconceivable theory seeing as for our only final ever The Gimp was packed to the seams full of PPL that I and many others who go to that place every single weekend had never ever seen before in our lives.) FWIW my above assumption about yourself being a Frugal Cheapskate is at the very least based on as much fact as you have used to make your Liam Miller assumptions.

n i k o Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) With some of the people involved with the club we could have had a membership base of 30k and still ended up where we were. The people in charge of the club had more than enough money to bring in the right players and the right people to make the club a success, and if it wasn't out of sheer effort they just simply didn't know the business well enough to make it successful. So I highly doubt a few more memberships would have changed anything cadete. Edited November 12, 2014 by n i k o 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
