Plays as a 6 or 8 in the NPL setup, has a good engine and good vision/distribution. He is raw but undoubtedly has potential.Monty apparently rates Ballard according to some on here. What's the story with him?

That’s great news!!!RT announced. 1 year extension
Great news, my only wish is that is was for longer.RT announced. 1 year extension
Yeah was surprised at only 1 yr unless he wants to see how Monty goesGreat news, my only wish is that is was for longer.
I would anticipate he only signed one year so that he could hopefully get an opportunity to go overseas next seasonYeah was surprised at only 1 yr unless he wants to see how Monty goes
That is disappointing. The Club does not stop players leaving to upgrade their careers overseas, but if the player is under contract the Club can benefit.I would anticipate he only signed one year so that he could hopefully get an opportunity to go overseas next season
RT announced. 1 year extension

He was on a scholarship last year when he went to HK. Has had it extended for one more season, along with Smylie, Ballard and Hatch.I also noted Cahill is in. Did he get a scholarship contract or something after returning from HK? (I think I must have missed what happened)
I'm keen to see him have a shot in the A-L

Had a great convo with Marcos the other day. Most inspiring conversation I’ve ever had with a CCM player.
Few tid bits to share, everyone loving training, feeling positive. Wants to take it up another level this year and really believes they can. He and his family adore the coast.
We can expect to see him in the box this year a lot more, more focused on scoring as opposed to creating for others which he said needed to be done last year. We all saw what he did for Matty and imo was obviously key to Matty having the resurgence he did,
Expect a less rigid and more tactically proactive approach to coaching from Monty - who he rates very highly, EG: latter half of season, or our home final against McCarthur, who had, like everyone else completely figured us out by then but we refused to change or adapt. Quoting directly “Reactive. Not proactive, we will have a plan B.”
He has a great understanding of what is missing in young Australian player development and football in general - noting what many have - penchant for selecting athletes over football creativity and intelligence. Marcos will clearly be a massive positive influence on our younger players. This man is a real leader - Olly likewise… with those two, we are in very good shape.

Hence trying to turn miller into a RBAwesome update. Thanks.
Re: Aussie development. We absolutely have taken athletes before footballers. Look at niz getting overlooked for most of his junior career. Athletes can be built, football skills and IQ comes from proper junior development to about age 12.
