    Well he plays outside and has pace. So i guess he'd be considered.

    Milera's also got very good awareness in traffic and doesn't waste many disposals. If anything he needs to learn to not get sucked into stoppages and give himself a bit more space to use his speed on the outside.

    Some years back I would have put the SANFL as the next strongest league to the AFL.. Now..I dont think so..

    So you have the age old problem...yeah these lads are ok at that level...but are often exposed when trying to step up.

    I acknowledge however that argument holds true for a lot more than just SA

    the problem isn't the sanfl. its the afl's congestion & rotations, blzb... there is NO time, & always under pressure with this rotation based congestion of blocking space, instead of playing on a man.

    many players and kids have had their careers ruined & ended sometimes before it got going by this scourge on our game.

    much talent is still in SA.

    Always has been, but our game has gotten out of control, or rather under too much control. so there's less room for creativeness, & more hard work running to spaces... boring football.

    Dee-luded...that may well be the case but what to me it is saying SANFL is playing last century footy. Personally i prefer it. Much bettet game to watch. Players flourish in space and time. AFL needs to revert at least partially to this and possibly the new rotation limits might go somewhere towards that. But right at the moment the SA game, for mine , doesn't prepare players well fir the AFL. Not that that ought be their intent. Just what is.

    It used to be that time pkaying at senior level , against real blokes, would galvanise the young talent and give them an advantage when being looked upon for the AFL. I now think it works against them.

    Most youngens from SA that HAVE kicked on...didnt play much or ANY senior footy it seems to me.

    Bump!

    Given the intrigue of this year's draft I'm just bumping this, just in case all this draft pick manoeuvring was to secure Milera, thinking that Gold Coast were going to take him at 3/6.

    It's less likely but a possibility and it's another area we need help (outside class).

    I'm not sold on these classy outside types anymore, not to say he couldn't be an absolute star, but I'd play it safer and go for a more contested style type of player with our early picks...

    His SANFL form could be fools gold, it's a much more open style of footy.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
