I haven't seen Doedee play at all, I wasn't pleased when we took him either but I can see the reasoning behind by we drafted both but I wish we got Bonner and Doedee rather than Milera and Doedee. Or Bonner and one of Collins/B.Mckay/Snelling/Rioli

So you rate Doedee higher than Milera? Your opinion, I guess you would be all alone on that call, but could be right!

I assume the logic is that they prefer Bonner over Milera, but assume he would be gone by pick 17 if we didn't take him at 11.

They do have strange logic. One would've thought outside run wasn't a huge need for them. Bonner doesn't have an inside game

We don't need a Bonner type. His weaknesses are that he has no contested game (which is very hard to teach) and no defence. We already picked up Seedsman/Menzel who have similar issues but have more runs on the board.

Really cannot believe Port got Bonner at 40ish? With their first pick anyway, rate him over Milera having played against both. Quite annoyed about it, not convinced at all on the selection on Milera other than being an SA lad and played some okay league footy for centrals.

Okay league footy ???

Bonner played how much league footy, we don't need anymore outside run who doesn't like the contest. In fact neither do Port.
 
Milera is a fantastic player, completely different level to others and with great vision. The type who always seems to have time to do what he needs to do.

I have umpired games he has played in a few times and even as an umpire you couldn't help applauding some of his moves.

He'll be the next Petrenko or even Toumpas mark my words

Lol, so we should believe you instead of people whose job it is to identify talent? When every club had him rated in the top 12 non academy players?

Hey he's played against them he knows more than them.

I played with and against a few AFL listed guys in my youth, the most rubbish 2 turned out to be the only 2 that had good careers.
 
Well despite some doubters on here (amazingly), I am pumped to get Milera into the club. I see him playing HFF for a couple of games next year, then become a regular and maybe move into the mids to provide outside run. Get on him!

I reckon more than 6 will play, in fact easily so.

Speaking of one of them... VB was at Unley oval the other day and let his dog sh!t on the oval. Then walked off leaving it there for some poor bastard to be tackled face first into.

Clean disposal has never been a strength of his.

So did I...
Easily one of the better juniors I played against...
Also played with N.Bassett and J. Crouch and against M.Oloughlin and they were no where near as good as Heuskes...

I had the joy of playing with a few AFL footballers. Some were a class above and some kept up with the others not showing anything exciting.


Heuskes was a class above shame about the character of the bloke as he got older.

Reckon if we had a pick in the top 10 Milera or C. Ah Chee would have been at Port

*At our first pick I'd say it was best player (in our eyes) still available regardless of what anyone thinks our desperate needs are.

You blokes did well I think in the Trade & Draft period
