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.

You'd think he'd get a look in quite early. If his form stands up like it did late this year in the SANFL, it'd be impossible for the selectors not to give him a crack.
 
Seen him compared to Burgoyne a bit but don't see it personally. Burgoyne is much more of a powerful runner. I reckon in terms of style he's most similar to Alan Christensen. Seems to love to run and carry, nice evasive skills and good decision maker + disposal.

His decision making is WAY better than Christensen.

The video below gives a better indication of his skillset. Watch his work under pressure in close and how he thinks himself through situations. Also watch the way he glides across the ground in particular plays. He has incredible composure for a young player and knows how to apply the right amount of pace for the given situation, which is very hard to do. Danger could never really master this and Cameron still struggles.

I'm excited for Milera. I honestly think the homesickness possibility, pushed him lower in the draft. As I told him at the draft "WELCOME Bud!" :thumbsu::footy:

What Burgoyne was he being compared to? Shaun, no, not seeing it. Peter on the other hand...
 
Oh my...

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


Oh god...

I'll go against the grain and say he probably was the best player available to us when our pick came. Having said that I can see why they picked him and hope he becomes a star.

What's wrong with picking the best player at your pick who is also a need?

He looks like Bradley Hill/Stephen Hill

On a lighter note, at 1:34 of that video Sando uses the term "go back and drain it" for kicking a goal... I'm even happier we fired him now. I would have sacked him JUST for using that stupid phrase alone if he used it when he was here:p.
 
Welcome Wayne Milera.
Absolutely stoked we got him to be honest. Would have been happy taking him if we had pick 3 in this draft. Anyone with the lateral movement and decision making that this kid has will be a star at senior level and I think he will play from week 1. Still can't believe that GC took Ah Chee and passed on him but absolutely stoked that they did. Can't wait for pre season games.
