Dashing Adelaide defender Wayne Milera headlines Adelaide’s haul of Round One AFLCA coaches’ votes, polling a perfect 10 for a career-best outing against the Pies.

Vice captain Alex Neal-Bullen rounded out the vote-getters, polling three for his impressive 26 disposal, 12 score involvement and seven mark performance.
