Saw the notification come up on my phone about a 5 year contract extension and was hoping it was about Brad Crouch. But happy to see Milera locked away for 5 years. Looked fantastic in patches in 2018 so hopefully we can get him back to that form this season.

I thought exactly the same about Brad

This is a good step in the rebuilding of the team. We need all the quick skillful players we can get. “Realizing your apparent potential” is the challenge facing many of our players. Hopefully Nicks etc can make it happen

Not sure how I feel about this. He showed signs in 2019 that he has a long way to go.

We are backing him in to show his 2018 form again and we now have him long term in the likelihood he does return to that form. He's shown elite form at times, he was an elite junior, so I have no problem with it.

If not, we can do what every other club does these days: salary dump his contract on a shitter team
 
Great news for Wayne, last season he was badly hampered by injury and really cooked once his shoulder AC joint was smashed. This should be a sign for all of us that medically the club has done all of the tests and he has been cleared with flying colours! Let's back him in for 2020, this is a fantastic show of faith in the club by Wayne as well, very pleased with this all round!
 
Just finished watching the 2 lastest video releases from the Crows re Milera, and two things stand out,
Firstly he has grown a lot in how he talks to the media he a lot different today than he was in previous years, his confidence has grown to a new level
And the 2nd video I forgot how elusive he is as a player he has talent.

He also showed that he has the ability to be our most classy player...

I wont say ever because I cant see anyone being classier than McLeod.

His back end of 2018 was absolutely electrifying , dancing in and out of congested traffic with footwork rarely seen .
Still had a few brain fades in patches with disposal out of the backline but he was as exciting as any 21 yr old in the comp in those last 9-10 weeks .
We all know he had a bung AC joint last season but he was also dealing with lower back issues which hampered his power base and ability to run hard.
Very happy with this signing and look forward to him spending some time in the middle and running up and down the wing .
This kid as as much upside as any of our young core and 2020 is the year to show that consistently .

He SHOULD be our star midfielder over the next 5 years. I have my reservations but I’ll back him in

His ceiling could be higher than Andrew Gaff. I feel he potentially has more strings to the bow.

That's a long way off though.

With a proper fitness crew and a proper coaching group I'm sure he will have a ripper year.
 
He has the potential to be a very good half back or wingman. 5 years is good as long as not wildly expensive.

If you are dreaming of Wayne as a full time pack to pack midfielder prepare to be disappointed.

I reckon he's signed up to a longer contract for j9b security but probably on not huge $$$. If he explodes into a star of the comp (which he definitely is primed to do IMO, 60 games in, 22 years old) then his contract is a bargain. I'm confident he'll get there if he has an injury free run. For me he should stay as a HBF and tear it up from there. These days they are just as valuable as inside mids.

Long term deals for talented younger players is the norm. I'm glad we're getting with the picture

As I said I don't nicks is any good and it appears talia was railroaded out of the captaincy. I feel niks was boys club appointment and well, sloane As captain looks. Boys club..

We keep Picking guys into stockmarkets and stuff like Chapman and roo. We keep being conservitive because that's what money men want.

I call it now, milera will leave.
