Player Watch Wayne Milera

Parish will get it on the basis that Essendon had the unexpected win and his round 1 was pretty good too. Milera will need to back today up against Richmond to get a look in.

Based on this week alone, it's line ball.

However, Parish had a great game last week as well and Essendon won the game when many were stupidly saying that they won't win a game this year. I think this gives Parish a nod this week. Would be delighted to be wrong though!

 

[DD#23]

who cares which week he gets it, he's an absolute certainty

 

[huludicidal]

So possible rising star nomination this week or will it be a standard vic kid?

Parish kicked the winning goal unfortunately, and also played a ripper in round 1. He's a lock for the nomination at this stage. Who cares though, Wayne will get one at some stage.

 

[Crowbling]

Wayne Milera.

Oh he good.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Yeah, Rising Star noms don't matter too much, both Milera and Parish will get one at some stage.

 

[Thylacinus]

The best thing about Wayne;

He's from Adelaide
His family is from Adelaide
He has always supported Adelaide
He wanted to play footy for Adelaide

See where I'm going?

It's probably the reason why he slid to us.

Katrina Gill

Was she on here about 8 or more years ago as 'Crowgirl' or something like that? The one I am thinking of knew Chunky Campbell IIRR.

 

[Kickin_Goals]

Parish had 7 more tackles, that should make it him comfortably.

 

[Sanders]

Liking the look of milera seems to have no fear of the moment or the occasion, despite his small frame he just goes out and plays

Will need to get more physical as he puts on weight but no reason to think that's not just a matter of time.

Also can we stop saying we got him for danger, for all we know, and with low level of hype around him, seems every chance he's there with our doedee pick

According to Emma Quayle (I asked her on some chat thing), he was never getting past Richmond as one of their main perceived needs was a speedy outside player at their pick, and they rated their (non-academy) options as:

Milera
Ah Chee
Rioli

In that order. Make what you will of that. She's usually pretty much on the money with this sort of thing.

Is she really on the money? Not sure the myth stacks up to the hype

Two very different humans

 

[Thylacinus]

Two very different humans

Thanks. I just had a vague memory of her going to do some writing for the Crows.

 

[Samcro24]

She releases her list the night before, and gets the top 10-15 pretty spot on I think. That's probably the easy part and a lot of those picks have already been touted by that stage though. Her list last year fell to shit around our doedee selection.

 

[huludicidal]

With top 15 non-academy players she is. Has very good relationships with recruiters and by the day before the draft she's basically got those picks nailed.

How did she go this year, or last year when lever was going to Freo?

Surprised by this mate. My impression from the first couple of games has been the opposite - doesnt seem to mind throwing his body in, and has tackled well.

Any incident in particular you had in mind?

 

[Peter Doherty]

My only query with him was if he was going to have an impact early with his slight frame.......


Yup, yup he is.

Slight frame? You realise the pic a couple pages back is a few years old? He is no string bean, is a very decent size.

 

[huludicidal]

I don't think anyone expects her to get 15 out of 15, but she went really well both years I'd say.

Just took a quick look at her 2015 mock top 15. All 15 are correct (academy bids fell in different order, but obviously all 15 players are at the clubs she predicted). That's pretty good intel from where I sit!


The Lever one obviously slipped by her, as do a few others here and there. Maybe Freo thought Weller would be gone. Maybe they liked him and Lever the same and decided on draft day. Maybe they fed her bullshit. Maybe she makes it all up. Not sure.

15 from 15 in 2015 suggests it's more than just luck to me.

 

[Bay62]

One thing I've noticed about Wayne, he never looks at opposition players in front of him as he waltzes past them, he's always looking up the field

It's as if they're not even there. Or he just doesn't care about them, they don't trouble him

Love it

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

When can we get the Holy Trinity together?

Betts-Milera-Cameron

 

[Squiba]

Betts Cameron Menzel Milera... Is it possible to have too much talent?

Parish def gets it then, 8 tackles on top of his already impressive stats is a fantastic effort for a 2nd gamer
