I mean they dont paint the full story but all the forwards are pretty much in the same ball park the only difference is that saad and milera do have a few years on their side. I would personally be dropping milne for his efforts than the two others. Give him a few farewell games and call it a day for a great servant.
I think the only issue with that is that Saad and Milne are true stay at home forwards where Milera is expected to make his way all over the ground. Obviously he's not doing something the coaches want. I'm a fan of hims so I want to persist with him. He needs confidence and he constant bagging doesn't help. Raph admitted that it started weighing on him and effected his game.

I actually wouldnt mind seeing him across the half back like Leon Davis or on the wing for a few games just to see how he goes
"Heroes are never forgotten, but legends never die"
He went back to the VFL and dominated, then only got a week. I think it's a bit disappointing. Into the idea of trying him somewhere else, has huge potential still in my opinion.
The problem is that he can kick a bag against weak opposition in the VFL, but he just doesn't apply the pressure that is required at the AFL level, and doesn't seem to want to.... He is one of those guys who will shine in the VFL... but not at an AFL level... as kicking goals is only half of a forwards job these days....
obviously this is all just oppinion, but it seems he just doesn't have the attitude to cut it at the top level, and if that is the case, i say trade him out as attitude problems can spread...
Putting various stats aside, my general impression is that he has a bag of skills, but is just not physically strong enough and can't sustain pressure for four quarters.
