Player Watch Wayne Milera

[Cromulant]

I would swap him and Cumming. Cumming has been out to sea on the wing and could use with his more familiar HB role. And moving Milera up the ground might allow him more of the ball and to be more damaging.

Given the way we use our wingers that's probably not going to get Milera more of the ball.

I agree with this guy, how was that ever a throw. The umpire guessed it to be.

Howler, but that’s not the speed the ump saw it at. Pure guess I reckon and paid it because Milera didn’t really take possession, just assumed it must have been a throw as it was so quick.

I'd like to hear him say that to the AFL. He assumed. I'd like to listen to their response.

The commentator at normal speed says he got a hand to it.

It doesn’t really matter what he says, he couldn’t have seen a throw because it wasn’t one. Commentator also has potentially a very different angle. Ump should be dropped either way.

They get things wrong enough when they actually see what happened, we don't need umpires guessing when they haven't seen anything.

What would we lose doing a straight swap of Cummings and Milera. Reckon both would be better for it.

Milera was a 1st round draft pick heralded as a forward/mid with elite ball skills. What an overpay/ waste if he plays another 50 games as a small defender.

We have better options as that lock down defender than we do wing right now.

What makes it worse is the number of legit throws they let go.

I think its worth a shot, but we'll get more out of Cumming that way than Milera.

I think we need to park the 1st round pick stuff for Wayne, that was 10 years ago now and a lot of water has gone under the operating table.

 

[GreyCrow]

You not busy looking up the all the forwards who got hold of Milera this year? Admitting you’re wrong is a sign of strength.

No we are all like you ignoring when I asked you pre-game who he would stand

What the Milera defenders don't get is this is not a Murphy whipping boy thing.

It's that Milera has all the skills you could ever want, he should be a game influencer, but the outward appearance is someone who doesn't always bring the intensity. Good enough doesn't win premierships.

I think hes got massive self doubt as to whether he can actually do what he used to be able to do.

Just a hunch.

Ahem, small LOCKDOWN defender thank you very much.

Didn't you get the memo?

 

[GreyCrow]

This is fair

And hmm where would he find that self belief - let me think. Hmm I dont know maybe a month or 2 in the SANFL at the start of the season?

Maybe

100%

And in no small part why Collingwood is Collingwood and we are who we are.

The Pies roll out guys with a 1/4 the talent of a Milera and squeeze every bit of performance out of them.

I want Milera to play to his ability because the Crows will win more games.

I’m guessing he thought it was a left handed scoop. His right hand travelled 90 degrees to the direction the ball went. Guessing he couldn’t see the right hand, would love to know where he was positioned.

Don’t cry mate, I’m too busy later in the week to get on here much. It’s a no brainer anyway. Max gets the strong overheard mid/smalls like Elliot and Laird doesn’t have the pace to go with Bobby Hill. Milera’s had the more accountable defender role all season - except against Carlton cause they have no dangerous smalls and Hinge was out. All of you denying it like it’s some kind of wild conspiracy when you can just watch the freaking game and it’s right in front of your face.

You must have had gone for a comfort break when lock down small defender Milera was 15 metres away from Hill at the fall of the ball for that soccered goal.

Spare us the patronizing on who does and doesn't watch games.

All Australian lock down medium defender.

Just a hunch.

I don’t recall him ever using his blinding pace with ball in hand. He’s always been good at not being tackled, but has never been a line breaking player. His offensive prowess is an urban legend and his defence is sub par. But we do love locking in mediocre role players instead of rotating kids through to see if we can unearth something better.

His only goal which came from a Cumming brain fade. He got 6 touches in 100 minutes of football. It’s like arguing with small children. Have your little whipping boy bubble and let the adults watch football.
