Milera delivered 127 away at the MCG in a 37-point win over Richmond — back-to-back 120+ scores confirm this is elite form, not a ceiling event. At $503k averaging 109 against a 74 BE with cash gen still positive at +$3,700, he is the best value premium defender in the competition. Adelaide are leaning on him through their injury crisis and he keeps delivering. Captain freely when his matchup suits. Lock him and don't look back.
