If the 1970s premiership teams at North Melbourne were Ron Joseph’s, the 1990s teams were Greg Miller's.

The architect of the club’s success in that era, Miller enjoyed a storied career as chief recruiter, football general manager and CEO. 

The master talent spotter arrived at Arden St in late 1984 and either directly recruited or signed the first pay cheques of every player who played in the 1990s premiership sides.

The double deal to finagle Wayne Carey and John Longmire from the clutches of the Sydney Swans for a figurative bag of beans was his most legendary piece of handiwork. But that was just one of many. 

Glenn Archer remembered he was "never on anyone’s radar" when Miller spotted him in a game at Prahran.

Miller saw something in the raw youngster, invited him to come and train with the Kangaroos' under 19s team, and the rest of the future Shinboner of the Century's career is history. 

He spotted Carey and Longmire as 12-year-olds at a primary school football carnival in Darwin 1987. 

The pair were representing New South Wales and tied to the Swans, but Miller went to work.

He successfully convinced Sydney general manager Ron Thomas to release Carey to the Kangaroos, then combined forces with North Melbourne general manager Ron Joseph to work on Longmire.

An innovative administrator, Miller was unafraid to push boundaries in his efforts to bring success to Arden Street.

"In those days, he probably knew the AFL rules better than the AFL," former Kangaroo coach Wayne Schimmelbusch told The Age.

"He always knew the rules back to front, which meant North was always doing things that probably no other club had thought of. The AFL would say: 'You can't do that', and Greg would just say: 'We can, go back and check the rules'."

Miller remained involved with the club long after his retirement, continuing to serve as an active member of the North Melbourne past players and officials’ network.
