In 1978, Miller became captain-coach of
ACT Australian Football League club
Eastlake, which he led to a premiership in his first season, with a
grand final win over
Kevin Neale's
Ainslie. The following year he won a
Mulrooney Medal as well as the first of three successive club
best and fairest awards. Before the 1981 season began, Miller resigned as coach and returned to Eastlake. He won a second Mulrooney Medal in 1981 and was an
Alex Jesaulenko Medalist in 1982 for his performance in Eastlake's grand final loss to Ainslie. Returning as coach in 1985, it would be his last season playing for the club. His final year at Eastlake in 1986 was as a non playing coach. ==References==
