Terry Milera
Yes he kicked 3 goals but his refusal to tackle numerous times and take clean possession of the ball on several occasions was costly.
Are we waiting for a saviour?

Re: Terry Milera
Unfortunately he is better than TDL, so he will get in the side unless we play a forward line of Milne Saad and Shneider. Saad wasn't exactly flash hot either though

Re: Terry Milera
Yes like the one against Dion. Rather than run straight at him, he stepped sideways to cut off a handball and instead just opened the hole so that Dixon could run straight at goal and pop it through.Little Dozer wrote:Yes he kicked 3 goals but his refusal to tackle numerous times and take clean possession of the ball on several occasions was costly.
You need forward pressure, rather than the reverse.
It is hard to not be negative tonight.

Re: Terry Milera
I'd be 100 times more concerned about Saad. At least Terry has a football brain. Saad struggled big time.

Re: Terry Milera
Milera did 3 or 4 impressive things tonight and about 7 or 8 very unimpressive efforts. Even though he has a knack for kicking goals, I just don't see him being a long-term player. Not strong enough in the contest and fails to execute the basics. At age 25, too.

Re: Terry Milera
Matty Lappin wasn't strong but he tackled and I don't recall him ever refusing to tackle or take clean possession of the ball.

You're wrong Matty Lappin was strong, he was just skinny, but he was as strong as an ox.Little Dozer wrote:Matty Lappin wasn't strong but he tackled and I don't recall him ever refusing to tackle or take clean possession of the ball.

Re: Terry Milera
Can't see that happening at all. He's just done a full preseason and looks lighter than ever. If he's not going to tackle he needs to be kicking 4-5 every week you'd reckonCon Gorozidis wrote:Needs to add 5 or 10 kilos of muscle or his Afl career will be over.

Re: Terry Milera
Dont worry about Milera. He will be at Port Power next season. He wanted to leave at the end of last year but we wouldnt trade him as he was on a two year deal. He is just a one way player. Carlton and Essendon have heaps of them as well.

Re: Terry Milera
just a query- are you judging this on watching the game live or on Ch 7?
as in a couple of incidences I saw on the replay BT gets the player wrong.... in fact I read in one article today that it was someone other than Terry that did the run down the outer wing..
like the Living in the garage story they need to get new material- or do some research-- or get some done for them..

BT is a shocking commentator, isn't he?

Re: Terry Milera
Agreed he was very soft - he shirked a number of contests/tackles in the game !
SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!
Re: Terry Milera
We have a thread on Milera and even though he wasnt great and was a bit soft he still kicked 3 and set up at least one. Doubt Milne or Saad were involved in 4 scores and probably no one was. Id rather see a thread on why Blake played ahead of Simpkin. it seems obvious to me we are rebuilding and i know who will be a chance to be involved in the rebuild and it isnt Blake.

Re: Terry Milera
He is the least of our problems the dropping the ball after a brilliant run might be his raph Clarke moment. Farren was really sloppy and pretty soft newness was pretty soft and ineffective even Armo didn't have his usual attack on the man. Why pick out terry? It was a night no one put in the required effort except possibly rooey and Lenny who put in an extra effort both were still below par. We will play better footy at some stage no need to start lynching our players.

I'm sure they would have been noticed, but, as has been pointed out, he did kick three, and others had poor games.
