From what I can make out, Wanganeen-Milera is not tied to any club. Which seems a bit odd, but none of the articles on draft prospects, mention anything about him being a NGA prospect. Nor is he a father son, as his father Terry Milera only played 30 games for St Kilda.
On a slight tangent, I'm not sure if the SA defender that I'm keen on, Leek Alleer, is a NGA or not? He seems to have been a prospect for Adelaide, when he was 18, but since he badly broke his leg back then, they didn't draft him. So I'm not sure if they retain any NGA privileges, now that he's 20 and looking likely to be drafted?
Yes we have the young talent there . Just needs to be fostered
Mcdonald could anchor a forward line , got a good head on his shoulders , smart player , skilful .
As for the silly talk of needing Heeney to be our Petracca , we have one , his name is Chad warner , he is doing things in his first 15 games Petracca could only dream of doing .
I tend to think that if we back our young talent in to the team, in their right positions, then there's more of a chance of keeping this group together.
I agree with you about Warner and Heaney. Leave Warner in the engine room. I think Heaney's role (with stints in the guts) should primarily be forward, but I hope that Campbell in 2022 works his way into the mids.
I think Campbell was played off half back due to his light frame. I expect him to be in the midfield at the start of the season.
I suspect it was part his light frame, and part it is not a bad role to play during your development years on an AFL list to 'round out' your capability - in much the same Mills spent quite a bit of time down there. If Dawson was not leaving I would have suspected he will play a lot more in the midfield group, but wonder because of that development whether he might have a bit more time off the half back flank then suspected.
Going to be very interesting watching him and Errol development. Errol the flashier player of the two, but I sense in Campbell there may be more leadership qualities in him. I suspect both will become close to elite, if not elite footballers in time.
