He has been getting better every week, just need to try and get the ball in his hands more often. I never expected him to set the world on fire consistently this year.

Give him time
Agreed on dropping a kilo or two. I remember Douglas improving massively when he lost a little bit of weight and got a bit fitter in the presason prior to winning the BnF. Wonder if Milera could similarly improve a lot with a bit of extra fitness - he's already one of our quickest and most agile players even post-injuries.
Given his skills are so good he still has the potential to be a very good player if he's able to get into dangerous positions a bit more often.
Hopefully another pre-season does the trick
His outside presence was refreshing on Sat night. God knows why we’ve been playing him mostly inside 50 until now

Looked in a class of his own at times. Was so clean picking up the ball and giving off compared to most on the ground. A big step forward

An improved game this week, let's hope there's more to come.

He’s one that I have zero problem him being kept in the team even though performance hasn’t warranted it because we know that he is best 22. Some people have such short memories. He’s starting to show it now . Will be a key component for us in 2023

Breaking the Saad tackle on the wing when he was completely blindsided would have been a ripper for the confidence. Basically walked away from him.
Reminded me of the type of goal kicked against us regularly. Like Richmond.

You started to see how deadly he could become in our forward line . I hope that he gets confidence from that game
I know he's always had this, but on the weekend it really stood out how much his kicks fade or draw late. Even the goal he kicked swung like crazy.
Spot on, at least he has class which was showing even in the games he was struggling in.

Agree. I think he is still a fair ways away from being AFL fit. His time on ground the past 5 weeks has been 76%, 77%,77%, 70%, 72%.
Good thing is it doesn't seem as though his pace has been affected.
Watch with 8:00minutes to go in the 2nd quarter. Carlton turns the ball over at half back and he starts behind Saad and speeds past him to force a contest at half forward.
He's extremely hard to tackle, it's been something in his game since he started.
He doesn't look super strong but seems to be able to fend people off and also has a habit of wriggling out of tackles. He did it again after the Saad one just prior to the Fog goal as well.

I know that plenty reckon he’s not a forward but I’m glad we have preserved with him there . Have a feeling that it’s going to pay off
I think he spent more time at the buffet than he did doing his rehab, and that’s why he was out for so long
Got his contract, then mailed it in.
And I think everything about him looks slower and less dynamic than before. Previously he was sharp and quick but inconsistent.
He’s only now starting to look like there’s a player at all in there
Milera is back to the point he was 4 years ago. I remember there was a Milera the Iguana video released at the time. The last 4 years have been ruined by injury. He's 24 now. Hopefully his body is right and 4 years later, we see the player we thought he was going to become. It was so good to watch him Saturday night putting together for a full game the glimpses he'd shown this year already.
