Terry Milera is a former professional Australian rules football player. He played for the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) from 2012 to 2014. Terry was known for his speed and skill on the field.

Terry Milera's AFL Journey

Terry Milera started his journey in the AFL through the draft system. He was first chosen by the Greater Western Sydney team. However, during the 2011 Trade Week, he was traded to the St Kilda team.

Joining St Kilda

A "trade" in AFL means a player moves from one club to another. Terry moved to St Kilda along with another player, Ahmed Saad, and a draft pick. In return, St Kilda gave GWS a different draft pick. Terry then signed a two-year contract with St Kilda. This meant he would play for them for at least two seasons.

Making His Debut

Terry Milera played his very first AFL game in Round 1 of the 2012 season. This was an exciting moment for him. He played against the Port Adelaide team. Playing in the AFL is a big achievement for any footballer.

After St Kilda

Terry played for St Kilda until the end of the 2014 AFL season. After this, he was "delisted," which means his contract with the club was not renewed. Even though he left the AFL, Terry continued to play football. He played for the Glenelg Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) from 2015 to 2018.

Terry's Family Connection to AFL

Terry Milera has a special family connection to the AFL. His stepson, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, also became an AFL player.

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera's Draft

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera was drafted by the St Kilda team in the 2021 AFL national draft. He was chosen with pick number 11. It's pretty cool that both Terry and his stepson played for the same AFL club!
