Wayne Milera

It feels like Wayne Milera is always mentioned in these types of articles.

He has always promised so much, yet is his body constantly lets him down and he just cannot string games together.

The sublimely talented 27-year-old, who is stranded on 99 AFL games, has played just 39 matches across the last four seasons, including only three in 2024.

He has been denied regular game time by stress fractures, patella tendon injuries and other various ailments.

Milera played 22 games in 2023 and finished 10th in the best and fairest. That’s what the Crows needs from him in 2025 and beyond.

At his best he provides cleverness, drive and quality ball use off half-back which is something Matthew Nicks could use as the Crows push towards a much-needed finals berth.

He won it twice. Also has an SANFL league and reserves flag, and WWT were pretty successful during his tenure.

I'm not saying there aren't potentially better candidates but that's his credits on paper.
I still hate the p.s. He really gets right up my nose.
