Would like to see him through the middle more and his evasiveness will be even more valuable given the 6-6-6 rule changes.

Fox Sports just did a preview for the Adelaide season including the best 22 and had Milera as an emergency. Don't think they know what they're talking about...

Got this bit right though...Luke Brown at full back
THE RISING STAR
As aforementioned, Tasmanian draftee Chayce Jones could have an immediate impact next season. Jones, who was selected with Pick 9, starred when playing senior footy for Launceston in the Tasmanian State League this year. He’s lightning quick and has the ability to impact the scoreboard, but will need to add weight to his 77kg frame. Expect Ned McHenry to make his debut at some stage, too.
As much as I'd like to see Jones get a gig right off the bat... No way are we leaving Milera out of the 22 for him!
Also Probs need another tall defender - so Kelly out for Keath/Hartigan.
This whole thing is stupid. They have Rory Laird as pick 80 something in the ND instead of the original rookie pick. This is their jobs to get this stuff right ffs.

Yeah I saw that too. Nice to see they've done their research...

Where is his lovely smile ?
Grief, he just lost his beard after all.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
Don has lost me if it is the case. Milera got better as the beard got longer.
It wasn’t hipster. Too long on the sides.

In relation to that foxsports team above, the correct 22 is...
Out: Kelly, Jones
In: Keath, Milera
...as an absolute minimum.
Keath will 100% play in a key defensive post from Round 1 if fully fit. Just look at his B&F votes per game last season in comparison to Hartigan to see how highly the coaches rate him. I know he didn’t play many games until late in the season, but from memory he finished top 10 (possibly even 4th unless my memory deceives me) in votes per game, and Hartigan finished millionth.
Kelly is depth only, especially now that Doedee, Seedsman and Milera have fully emerged, and Smith is back from injury. He will not play unless there are injuries.
Jones over Milera is utterly ridiculous. Sure, Jones will get a crack in 2019. At the expense of a fully fit Wayne Milera? Piss off.
Realistically, as much as bigfooty refuses to accept it, Douglas is still best 22 also. Prior to copping an injury last season, he was actually excellent, and arguably our most consistent player. He then had a very poor 2nd half of the season after the injury (let’s be serious, it was probably mismanaged), but there was a point there where he was a legit threat to finish top 3 in the B&F. One of Knight, Gallucci or Fogarty comes out for him when everyone is fit. Depends on team balance and form as to who that will be.
The facts are that no team really ever has a full list to pick from, so this “best 22” pretty much never actually get on the park together at the same time anyway. Hence David Mackay still having a career

Well I'm a front runner on a "could be " Hamill doesn't cut his hair no way
could it be running around in 39 degrees?
Hartigan is still recovering from a knee and won’t be returning to full training until after Christmas, so as long as Keath stays fit, reckon he’s a lock.In relation to that foxsports team above, the correct 22 is...

You’d think they would employ people who actually watched footy.

Hartigan will never play unless one of Talia or Keath are injured IMO. Depth player moving forward.
His only other chance would be if Keath fell out of favour. I just don’t see that happening.

I'm more concerned with the people making the rules at AFL house not actually watching footy

With the 6-6-6 now I think Harto might still be in with a chance. First and foremost they need to be able to defend. If all is equal there, then Keath seems to offer more.

I predict that Milera will rip the Comp apart in 2019. Pure silk.
Keep him at half back, his rebound will be invaluable for this club. Same role McLeod played so brilliantly for us.
