The few times I’ve seen Gribble player, he’s played on the wing/HBF. I didn’t see him winning his football often.

Arlo Draper named at half back, I wonder if he’ll actually line up there - I thought he was meant to be more of a half-forward.

NWM is surely what our side needs the most (along with a key forward)? A classy, skillful winger/HB who can break the game open. I’d be very disappointed if the club looks elsewhere. Him or Amiss are the ones I’d take straight away if they were still available. And because I think that we’re definitely not taking either.

Amiss, Draper and Wanganeen-Milera watch please.

Any SA kids missing @aceman? Roberts?
SANFL Prelim on tonight so Roberts and JHF elected to stay behind. I think most others are playing

With NWM, I really like his described skill set and think its what we need. But can I ask, what is his engine seen to project like? Can he become a low to high twenties disposal wingman? Or will his disposal stay in the teens?
My impression is he isn’t a goal scorer (but definitely a creator). If he is a HFF, at some stage like @Humble_Minion said we need forwards who score goals. NWM sounds perfect if he is on a wing getting 22-26 possies a week. If he’s a HF I kind of think a goal kicking forward may be more important.

This was on Big Footy. Where the write-up came from wasn’t referenced unfortunately:
A projected first round choice, the son of Terry Milera and nephew of Gavin Wanganeen, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera played a key role for Glenelg in their 14-point win against Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL Reserves. With the win, Glenelg advance to the Grand Final, while Woodville-West Torrens will have to play Central Districts on Saturday for the second Grand Final spot.
The premier outside player in this draft, Wanganeen-Milera has earned a reputation for his precision kicking and his diverse range of tricks with ball in hand. Possessing rare agility, Wanganeen-Milera displayed dancing feet, changed direction at will, speed around players and an ability to wrong foot them to give himself more time and space to dispose of the ball effectively.
Just as impressive was his one-touch ground ball pickups, swooping down to pick up the ball smoothly and with quick hands, swiftly and reliably handballing to a target or taking on the game himself with his run.
Securing 16 disposals there was a feeling whenever Wanganeen-Milera had the ball in his hands he would make something happen. Often in the win, Wanganeen-Milera’s offensive involvements led to goals, whether he directly assisted on the goal or started a sequence of possessions that would lead to a goal.
While Wanganeen-Milera has been consistent in the SANFL Reserves, not dropping below 13 disposals in any of his 12 games, his standing as a first-round prospect became apparent in South Australia’s match against Western Australia. While South Australia lost badly, Wanganeen-Milera washis side’s clear standout, influencing offensively when no one else could. He has looked a class above at all levels he has played this year with his creativity, ball use and movement.
With similar capabilities and talent to Shane Edwards, there are high hopes of Wanganeen-Milera given his talent and football pedigree.

Was Terry Milera the guy who’s delisting triggered Matt Rendell to go berko at the Camry Crows?

C’mon. There’s no way a guy called Greg is younger than 50. Ants, you’re normally such a quality poster.

I remember a terry milera who played for st kilda. He would be mid 30 now - surely too young to have a draft age kid now?

There was a Terry and a Wayne, one was at Adelaide and one was at St Kilda. Not sure which is which. Think the St Kilda was a mature age recruit
Terry is 33. Nasiah is his step son

Beecken unlucky after his game last week.
Besides the obvious (NWM, Draper, maybe Johnson?) I’m pretty interested to see how Liddy goes. He was arguably SA’s best when they played WA the last time. Seems like a tough, blue-collar type.
I’ve got my eyes on the two Hugh’s aswell.
Jackson especially has impressed me this year with his ball winning ability and Stagg was easily the stand out player in the comp this season
