Preview R1: Changes for 2025

[WaynesWorld19]

99 games in 9 years, players being brought in to play his role and others able to go past him.

Thats probably what it is.

Milera was the preferred player, ball in hand, still in 2023 .....his injury, and Smiths decline, robbed us of drive off HB .....we didn't have a replacement, Hinge was an option, but most teams have multiple players providing run off HB

Cumming is worth every cent ....Milera, likely to play a fair bit of SANFL in the early part of the season, would be my guess

This anti Milera group think from the last few weeks is bizarre. His past 20 games he’s averaging 20 possessions, over 300m gained, rarely has goals kicked on him, top 10 B&F 2023. Short memories.

all well and good but those 20 games probably took him 7 years to reach

Groupthink is pretending he's some sort of consistent dynamo and forgetting all the half arsed efforts he's put in.
Don't care about his stats, I remember the games.. He often looked great with ball in hand when allowed to loose check as an unaccountable rebounder,but in the same breath would cough up multiple turnovers after carrying the ball 40m, only to then go at marching pace the other way when pretending to chase.. One on one hes a liability 3 out of 5 in tight.
No accountability not unlike Rory Laird. Rory Laird at least gos hard at it when it's there to be won.

Wayne's fine when it's his turn to go, when he plays.

Nah Not always. Plenty of half steps and lazy chasing over the seasons. Not to mention half arsed tackling attempts.

Laird isn't exactly the hardest chaser either.

Tackle numbers are deceiving

I agree. Trust me, I was putting the knocks on Lairds game seasons before it was in vouge.

For the record, I think when Milera is on he's mesmerisingly brilliant.
I just think people forget how rare this occurrence is and how poor and frequent his off days are. This stretches back pre-injuries.
