Adelaide Head of Football Adam Kelly spoke with the media on Monday.
“We’re just so pleased that he’s out there with the playing group at the moment and going well, it puts a smile on our faces to see him out there.”
“We’ll start cautiously because he’s had such a long way away from football,”

“But we cross our fingers every day that he gets through another session and gets one step closer to making his way back onto the field.
Adelaide senior coach Matthew Nicks said the club would be patient with Milera in a pre-season update in December.
“We’ll continue to work with that without taking too much risk.”
Milera averaged 18.2 Disposals, 5.4 Marks & 2.9 Tackles from 17 games in 2019, he played just 2 games in 2020.

Fantasy Impact: Wayne Milera averaged 76.5pts from 17 games in 2019, he scored over 100pts in just one game.
The Crows haven’t changed their opinion on Milera so far over the pre-season, he is worth monitoring for any positive news on his return to play status
Milera is a target for season long fantasy, however it would be wise to take into consideration the cautious approach Adelaide currently have & how that might impact your team if it infiltrates into the season.
He’s a late round option in single season draft leagues.
