The Bickley scenario would be the one I'd favour on face value as the more realistic especially after Tex's dig at his press conference re Wayne's partner Nina.Tredders seems to be of the opinion that he's now one of our highest paid players, while Bickley has said the opposite and said he sacrificed a bit of coin for the longer deal.
So I guess all we know is everyone is just guessing!
How about "The 3 Milerian dollar man"?400lera just doesn't have the same ring to it anyway.
I think there's a very real chance Doedee could end up our next captain. That would be a pretty good result for a guy who, when drafted, was greeted with Crows fans complaining that we didn't draft some bog average vanilla half back Ryan Burton.It always makes me happy when Doedee in particular gets around them on twitter.

He has no standout traits other than his long kicking. I'd take Doedee over him any day.Very happy with Doedee but Burton ain’t a big average vanilla half back
You might and so would I but he ain’t bog average or vanilla.He has no standout traits other than his long kicking. I'd take Doedee over him any day.
We must be watching different players. Burton ain't quick. Not saying he's slow either but speed is not a standout attribute. He also doesn't play forward at Port Adelaide. Yes he's gotten on the end of a few chains and kicked a few nice long goals but that doesn't make him a capable forward. By that defintion Smith and Seedsman would be forwards too.You might and so would I but he ain’t bog average or vanilla.
He can play on talls or smalls and spanked Tex once. Has decent pace, great kick, can play in defence or up forward. He’s suffered due to injuries as has Doedee but he’s a quality young player.
For a tall player he’s got reasonable pace.We must be watching different players. Burton ain't quick. Not saying he's slow either but speed is not a standout attribute.

I think he'd be one of the highest paid in guarenteed salary but per year I wouldn't have thought he would be in the top 10 per yearTredders seems to be of the opinion that he's now one of our highest paid players, while Bickley has said the opposite and said he sacrificed a bit of coin for the longer deal.

Oh the old "he played there as a junior so he can play there in the AFL" argument. Yikes.For a tall player he’s got reasonable pace.
Just because he doesn’t play forward at Port doesn’t mean he can’t, he played it as a junior, something Seeds and Smith never did.
But I agree, we must be watching two different players.
Oh the “bog average” player because he’s not on our team. Yikes. That’s something I’d expect from KristofOh the old "he played there as a junior so he can play there in the AFL" argument. Yikes.
Burton probably stacks up against other half backs in the league quite well but he's not quick, he's not a forward and he sure as hell aint no Doedee. My point was that people were wrong to criticise Hamish. He knows better than most of us here on BF.Oh the “bog average” player because he’s not on our team. Yikes.

You could have done that without being totally wrong about Burton. What position was he playing when he cleaned up Tex? Half back? Do you think for a tall player he’s slow?Burton probably stacks up against other half backs in the league quite well but he's not quick, he's not a forward and he sure as hell aint no Doedee.

I didn't say Burton was slow, and Tex is well past his prime. Beating him is not the achievement it once was. It's not 2012 anymore.You could have done that without being totally wrong about Burton.

I call him a half back because that's where he plays most of his footy. You seem to take that as derogatory. I never said he was a weak defender but his 1v1 game is just another feature of his game which in inferior to Doedee.What position did he play on Tex? Half back?
I said he was capable of playing multiple positions. You keep referring to him as a half back. I keep referring to his game on Tex because he played as a KPD.I call him a half back because that's where he plays most of his footy. You seem to take that as derogatory.

He's bog average compared to Doedee anyway. Clarko must not have thought much of him either. How many times do you see a Vic club willingly let go of a gun SA player?I said he was capable of playing multiple positions. You keep referring to him as a half back. I keep referring to his game on Tex because he played as a KPD.
You called him bog average. I think you’d struggle to find another poster that shared that opinion.
As I’ve said I would take Doedee ahead of him but that doesn’t make Burton bog average.
Damn John you were so close. The first 3 points actually make sense.I think this was a clever decision by the club:
- Milera already has shown enough potential and is on an upward trend (barring the post-shoulder injury in 2019).
- it seems like an early statement as if to say “we’re in a good space right now and the players are backing as in”.
- hopefully can set up a chain reaction for the other young stars (eg. Fog, Doedee) to join in on the chorus with new lengthy contracts.
- perhaps a statement that the Camp back in 2018 wasn’t as bad as it was blown out to be? Particularly as one of the main issue seem to be a cultural indifference between indigenous players (Betts and Hampton were hinted to be involved) and activities.
Haha you just won’t quit!...
