A potential advantage of Raph's retention is his ability to mentor Milera.
The cultural divide between indigenous and non-indigenous players has been an issue at other clubs, and Milera only got going at Port Magpies after spending some quality time with Gavin Wanganeen.
Hopefully Raph's professionalism will help guide Milera in his journey to becoming a solid AFL player.

You want Milera to be the new scapegoat? 
Raph and certainly tutor him about abuse from so called supporters.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Let's the draft the best players possible, whether they are indigenous or not. If all 11 are indigenous, great. But, I'd hope we wouldn't just draft someone because of there skin colour.borderbarry wrote:We have to pick up another 10 or 11 players in the upcoming drafts. Lets hope at least one is also indigenous. Also dont be forgetting Winmar.
Well said, too much is said or assumed already in the AFL when it comes to a players skin colour.Saintersss wrote:Let's the draft the best players possible, whether they are indigenous or not.

Lord knows Aaron Firoa used to cop it just as bad.
As for Milera - lets hope he gets the suppott he needs without making a big fuss of it.
