Yes it is - they seem to draft a few lightly built players, 68 - 73 kg. including last year
Hopefully he puts on some weight, a few kg but retains his speed.

Apparently Terry's brother, Tim, also played for Port in the SANFL and then was on the Crows' list but was delisted by Adelaide as he wasn't prepared to put in the type of professionalism required for the AFL. Hopefully, Terry will be a different story.

He just has a smooth movement when he runs. how good was his goal from the boundary facing the wrong way in the youtube clips.

Reading a fair bit about him from people that watch the SANFL - he seems to have many tricks!! Kicks beautifully both sides, quick, quite courageous for someone with such a slight frame & can kick goals.

Seems to play half forward & wing a bit as well, seems good at setting play up.

This has got me expecting him to be two Tommy Walshs now. With out wanting to look hysterical at some positive news, he looks like a gun. But so does Saad- at least with two to hang our hopes on the odds that one will be awesome is better.

We've needed players with X Factor for a long time, this was long overdue...players with flair!

Is he naturally right or left footed? Can only be a good thing that it's hard to tell

My guess is he's a right footer - but yeah it's very hard to tell!

This is the type of guy I want at the club--not some sooky Irishman that is a mercenary in disguise!

A bit of excitement at last!

Milera and Saad probably think a role is something you put your hot dog in

sasaint · Post: # 1166432Post **sasaint** » Tue 18 Oct 2011 10:28pm

"You should never give up on what you're trying to achieve."

Milera said he was excited to begin pre-season training with the Saints next month alongside such stars as Nick Riewoldt, Brendan Goddard and Nick Dal Santo

"Hopefully I can get over there, put my best foot forward and try to get a game."

Love that sort of attitude. I think it is a long shot that he will make it into the 22 but It sounds like it won't be from lack of trying!

reminds me of

moves like the injury prone Brad Dick of Collingwood

Grammy is 1cm taller and 20kg heavier. Could he donate some bulk ?

How much do guys like Gartlett, Nahas weigh?

If they're quick, will it matter?

Junction Oval · Tue 18 Oct 2011 10:57pm

It's nice to have a couple of prospects that we can talk about with some enthusiasm for a change !

garlett apparently 178 cm & 67 kg

Guys, the majority of profiles listed on AFL sites are incorrect or haven't been updated since they were juniors!

Don't worry about figures on a sheet of paper or making a comparison between your height & a footballers..irrelevant.

We all know Milera is light - but certainly not as light as some of your wild reports are. Suggestions that he was 58kg last year are laughable. If you're 185cm & 58kg - you're actually anorexic & would probably be on the verge of being very sick!

Terry "the virus" Mileria.

noddy04 · Post: # 1166489Post **noddy04** » Tue 18 Oct 2011 11:24pm

I saw Milera 2 times this season v my SANFL team. He is very very quick and a great kick for goal. I may be wrong but i thought he was a left footer. Very balanced on his left if he is a righty. Great pick up for very low outlay in my book

Con Gorozidis · Wed 19 Oct 2011 12:47am

I'm effing pumped about him.
Has the physical attributes to make it for sure.
Just needs a solid pre-season now.

saintspremiers · Wed 19 Oct 2011 7:01am

He reminds me a bit of Choo Choo.

Hopefully lasts a bit longer!
