Player Watch Wayne Milera

[MRB37]

Suppose that's a bit of a bonus having the draft here. If the kid comes down for it he immediately gets to feel like a part of the club and meet the players and coaches.

 

[pjcrows]

Lever and Sloane are absolute ripper clubmen.

Isn't that Lever next to Milera?

 

[CrowAboutIt]

Love seeing Lever there. A born leader.

 

[BrissyCrow]

Surprised that he was still there when our turn came around. Very happy to see him coming to the Crows. I am sure that we all hope he lives up to the expectations that have been placed on him but I also hope that the Crows live up to his expectations of wanting to play for a great club.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Never thought Milera would fall to #9 ......rated on skills in the top 3-5 players in this draft

Shaun Burgoyne comparison apt .....smart footballer

Great pickup ....well done AFC

and yes i preferred Milera to Curnow

Really thought GC would pick him rather than Ah Chee

I don't think a single person was surprised at this pick. Now comes the part where we try to work out if he'll make the 22 in R1.

Who knows, a good preseason, put on three-four kilos of muscle and no reason why he can't.

 

[LiquidCrow]

Welcome to the Crows, Wayne Milera!

Sure about that?

No reason at all .....he's played against men

It'll depend on his tank IMO

[Draft Bored]

Super excited about him.

I left the draft around pick 38 and found myself walking along the road next to him. The grin on his face was ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Was there tonight and was counting down the picks till ours hoping like hell we would get Milera…so excited!!

In fact, I stated in jest to my friends that now we have Milera I didn't care who we got with our next pick…was dumbfounded when the name Burton sounded a helluva lot like Doedee!!!

 

[fairfooty]

Gorgeous kid!! And loved his description of himself including the magic words 'good footskills! Welcome Wayne and super excited to see you play!!

 

[Crows I Am]

Love this pick, after watching him play in the SANFL and really stand out you could tell this kid is going to be something special. To play so well at such a young age in the 2nd best comp in the country is very good signs indeed. Just has that special something about him, big game player and very classy.

 

[Lawrst]

Mah boy!

 

[Lawrst]

Oh my...

The thought of Menzel, Betts, Charlie and Milera...


Oh god...

 

[fuddrooster]

Got can see a bit of the evasive skills of michael long and wanganeen in this kid. Great get.

 

[Gets!]

Over the bloody moon with Milera. Can play.

 

[Pdub]

Very nervous kid.

Who's the dip shit reporter that told him to look straight ahead, while he was talking to a guy over his left shoulder, the poor kid didn't know what to do, staring straight ahead while someone behind him was talking to him.

 

[BACCS]

Is he related at all to the other Milera we had on our rookie list a few years back?

I think he said their grandparents are cousins. He is Michael O'loughlin's nephew though

 

[cmndstab]

Is he related at all to the other Milera we had on our rookie list a few years back?

Distantly, I believe. I've seen it reported that he's a "distant relation" of Terry Milera, who from memory was Tim's older brother.

 

[Canberra Based Crow]

Great get. He showed a lot at SANFL level and has the potential to be anything!
