Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
John, our coach resigned, our GM was sacked, head of strategy sacked. That's a lot of water under the bridge. It's the largest shake up we've seen at the club in ages. Maybe Milera just likes the new regime and he wants to back them in.
5 years is a long time but he's rumoured to be getting married to a local girl so maybe he just wanted the security of a longer contract so he can start a family knowing he wont need to uproot himself and move. The club also likely saved some money by signing him up long term.
Nothing about this suggests the camp wasn't a disaster. Had he signed up for 5 years under the old regime, maybe you would have a point. He didn't though so I don't know why you keep trying to convince people the camp wasn't a huge mistake.
For someone who doesn't care what other people think you have gone to a lot of effort to reply and justify your position.Don’t know if you’ve taken the hint, this year and beyond I’m not going to waste my time with you or others who show no respect. I have made valid points on Milera being of Indigenous background and that he was targeted for a lengthy contract not only of his potential but possibly also to erase some of the bad vibes in the past relating to our Indigenous players (rightly or wrongly). Don’t tell me to STFU for me coming up with a valid theory.
Do yourself a favour and don’t quote to me a Victorian news article. They mean SFA to me these days after the McNure saga. People pointing out the persons responsible are gone doesn’t mean jack all regarding a 3 day camp. You don’t think it was mainly to do with all the injuries for the past 2 years, and a s**t stagnant gameplan rebounding from defense? Anyway, believe what you want to believe. I honestly don’t care.
In Eddie's own words, the camp killed his love of the game which is so sad as he should have finished playing at AFC like he he said he intended to do before the camp.Don’t know if you’ve taken the hint, this year and beyond I’m not going to waste my time with you or others who show no respect.

So? If somebody wants to poach him we can make them pay through the nose.Good news that he is staying but now a day's contracts seem to mean nothing for the player so I don't get too excited about the length of the contract.
Well it’s about the future now. As much frustration I still feel with Chapman I realise the futility of worrying about it.
It's not really an argument. It's just somebody trying whitewash the past because they're in denial and won't think critically about the club.
Great post!Guys just to put a bit perspective in the all the stories on how the indigous guys left the club because of the camp, these are the name brandy about that left the club and some that remained.
Cameron left before the camp, and the full true story may never surface. Happy partner happy life
Hampton retires due to medical reasons, full stop, vertigo being one issue.
CEY signed a 1-year extension after the camp, he left for better opportunities and a very good contract (overs perhaps) nothing more nothing less.
Eddie - game time, after being told the Club moving in a different direction. Happy Wife Happy Life, Twins and more Family support.
Davis signs a 2 year extension in 2019
Milera just signed a 5-year deal and was always going to stay.
Maybe we can blame the Camp but who cares it 2020, Let's just put the camp where it should be in the past.

Good to see members with some perspective other than “players are leaving because of bad culture”. Davis and now Milera are important signings because of their cultural background, it does point towards us being accomodating for Indigenous players. How you link this with the past Camp would be your own call. I believe though it is still ok to talk about the past as long as there is particular relevance and to treat the topic with respect.Guys just to put a bit perspective in the all the stories on how the indigous guys left the club because of the camp, these are the name brandy about that left the club and some that remained.

- perhaps a statement that the Camp back in 2018 wasn’t as bad as it was blown out to be? Particularly as one of the main issue seem to be a cultural indifference between indigenous players (Betts and Hampton were hinted to be involved) and activities.

Kane - 3 paragraphs that perfectly sum up the camp, it’s affects/results and outcomes.In Eddie's own words, the camp killed his love of the game which is so sad as he should have finished playing at AFC like he he said he intended to do before the camp.
The camp was an unmitigated disaster which destroyed the fabric of our club when we were in a premiership window.
Those mostly responsible have now left & hopefully we get the refresh we need to move on. Milera signing on for 5 years is a sign Nicks has changed the vibe of AFC.
Don't name one name them allI recall the CEY camp thread was locked with John being smashed from all sides (even by non-Crow posters), and this isn’t the first time he’s dropped a subtle one-liner about the camp since then. One could hypothesise that he feels like there’s still some great miscarriage of justice that hasn’t been resolved which is what we’re seeing play out here.
We saw the same pattern with Marty carrying on about the drafting/non-drafting of Doedee/Burton-J.Scharenberg. Little snipes here and there in unrelated threads to try and see if someone will take the bait so they can launch into a diatribe on their pet topic again. Given how long that took to work through, we may still be hearing about how the 2018 camp was a supposed non-issue years from now.
With the main architects of the camp now gone from the club, most people will be able to view Milera’s decision to sign on in the appropriate context.
With this contract I like that we’re showing confidence in backing our younger players instead of what looked to be going on by favouring tenure and experience, and hopefully Milera can repay the faith and deliver the goods over the next 5 years. I get the sense that he’s a confidence player, so having that security should impact positively on his game. Don’t mind if we use him to setup play from the halfback flank, but think his class could be more damaging in a midfield role.
I like the part where he reminds me "This is a civil conversation" even though I've been arguing with him in good faith and keeping it pretty civil.”I made valid points”
You are a good human for taking time out just to engage himI like the part where he reminds me "This is a civil conversation" even though I've been arguing with him in good faith and keeping it pretty civil.
I mean I've ragged on him in other threads but I was trying to keep away from that this time.You are a good human for taking time out just to engage him
That is hard to do given some of his birdbrain THEORIESI mean I've ragged on him in other threads but I was trying to keep away from that this time.

At least they will know they aren't mean.I enjoyed the "I'm standing up for myself this year and not responding to mean people" spiel
