Adelaide Crow veteran Scott Thompson has backed Eddie Betts evaluation of 18 year old top draft pick Wayne Milera (pictured).

Although he’s yet to play an AFL game, Mileras form in the NAB challenge sees him on the verge of making his debut for the Crows against the Kangaroos on Saturday night.

Mileras pace and silky skills have seen him likened to Crows legend Andrew McLeod although Thompson says that’s a big statement to make about a young man yet to play a game at the highest level.
