Thats just average wage perfectly acceptable for a young best 22 player on the rise. Probably a bargain if he comes on as expected.

Seriously? You actually think milera gives up and doesnt apply any pressure whatsoever?
You need to understand he is 19 years old and he is being used as a solely attacking weapon. He is lightly built and has an average tank. His improvememt will come, until then he should break lines and hit his targets. Thats it. 400k a year shows the club believes he will be a complete player by age 22.

No i dont think it ive seen it, its a constant in his game, its fact its what he does often. Watch the replay of Sunday's game . Watch the other games and take note of what he does when the opposition has the ball. The Port game he was diabolical in this regard.
I understand he's 19, I understand he is lightly built but that's no excuse for his lack of attack. I do accept that his lack of tank may be a contributing factor.
Ive also said his vision and distribution of the ball is fantastic most of the time, However i remain very concerned with the aspect of his game that I'm critical of.
Am I being over critical possibly. Is it a maturity thing possibly. Time will tell.
A little
If he was that awful the coaching staff would send him back to the SANFL quick smart.

A bigger deal out west.
Most outside players are.
Really? I'm all for Milera being given time to develop in the seniors. Like a lot of people, I think he's going to be excellent before long. But $400K seems a lot for someone at his stage, no matter how promising.
Yes 400k a year will probably be below average wage for the next 3 years.
Second year player with everything to prove. Not a key position player. Should be well below average IMO.

Not really as your paying for potential as much as anything.

Was there a whisper that the Kangaroos made a significant offer to him? Vaguely remember hearing that and writing it off.
Maybe it forced our hand.

Where did the information about 'just tightness' come from?
If we're overpaying players on the basis of potential, that might be why our mythical war chest never seems to materialise.
Big Footy wishful thinking on the strength of the word 'precautionary'.

Also the fact we're forced into paying 95% of our cap in any given year which doesn't help.

Given our record with hammys this year i cant see us risking it. Imagine if we do and he tears it.
Given our retention issues, we ought to struggle to pay less than 95%.
So what are we thinking with these hamstring injuries ?
No news is bad news IMO
Wouldn't surprise to see
Knight - 3 weeks
Talia - 5 weeks
Hopefully not worse than that as we'll need them to replace other guys that have done their hamstrings

really? Cant you just renegotiate each year and rollover the space until you use it?
That was a question I posted in the Fages Catch Up thread. Basically how common is redoing contracts to bring forward cap spend. But i don't think the cast members like me for some reason. I'll never get accredited with them.

I wonder why other clubs can let their supporters know within a day what the extent of an injury is while it takes us a week.
Either the club is treating us like mushrooms or they are using the public health system.
He is best 22 of course he would be wanting near average wage.

Yeah I dont know. Someone said that they only use their preferred Radiology and Scanning company and they aren't open on weekends or public holidays unlike in Victoria where they have 24/7 access to cat scans etc.
But regardless there is a delay that we get compared to other clubs.
Yeah I've heard that Medicare has stopped covering MRI and CT for AFL clubs for things like soft tissue injury eg hamstrings strains
Also I think maybe the money spent goes on the footy dept spend which is capped but don't quote me on that part
If both of those things are in play it makes sense to use a preferred provider that gives a special deal to the club
I get the feeling it's intentional and were looking for every possible edge
