Welcome Draft Pick #11 - Wayne Milera

[Brentmeister]

Loved his left foot goal in the last quarter. This kids has some skills.

Made it look so easy. Too easy.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

After looking lost on his return last week, was good to see him more involved, because when he gets the ball he usually uses it very well.

Classy around goals.

Jnr's next challenge is to start getting a bit more of the footy

Same deal as Cameron last year.

Should come with experience, but at least he can be damaging with the possessions he gets.

Very damaging.

Maccas first year he only averaged 10.8 disposals a game and 1.13 goals a game.
In hindsight no one here would be saying he should have been dropped in that first year even though he didnt set the world on fire.
Milera has averaged 11.6 disposals and .66 goals per game.
Keep the kid in for the rest of year I say.
And I just loved how the PAPs tried to take credit for him.

 

[hey shorty]

Im pretty sure Roy Laird and Centrals had more of a hand in his development

 

[SES SA]

Do we think his 3 goals might be enough for Milera to get a Rising Star nom?

Petracca had a good one with 21 touches. He could have sealed it, but kicked 4 straight behinds. If I had to guess, I reckon he will still get the nom.

I'd like to see us get him up around the footy a bit more. Not sure what his tank is like, but he's wasted as far forward as we've been playing him.

Wasted is too strong. Not best utilized.

 

[Sam_Malone]

Do we think he is any chance to get a rising star nomination this week?

Petracca will get it.

?? ok. I thought because of the list it was still active players. Cheers

 

[Elder van Berlo]

Not even the most likely to get it from our game on the weekend. And it does not matter even a little bit.

 

[Gets!]

WMJ is 18 for basically the entire year. Doesn't turn 19 until mid September.

Wow.

 

[Tex200]

RS can't ignore him too much longer. He had 20 and a goal v Port, now 12 and 3 goals.

I agree though, it matters not.

 

[moses]

He will get a nod before long. Good opportunity this week, to test himself against the best young team in the comp.

 

[MRB37]

No surprise here.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Play him for 4 more games the put him on ice for next season to make a real go of the Rising Star award

 

[hey shorty]

The lack of possession will 'hurt' Junior. These things generally go by stats, plus Petracca is a 'name' recruit.

That said, the kid is a beast and did deserve his nomination. Has a fair bit of the Look At Me about him too.

Rather him play for the AFC than any award

 

[BunjiMac]

Everything about Milera just says smooooooooth

Yes! We need a trophy!
