Talented young mid/half back, far too good to be rotting in the reserves up in Sydney but i suppose that's what so many first round picks does to you.

Great kid, leadership potential, and would most likely get him for very little.

anyone interested?

Myself and a few other posters have mentioned him before. From what I've seen he racks up possessions and is a fairly tough player. We could do a lot worse, would probably only cost a 3rd or 4th round pick. I hope we enquire.

Reports that he has asked for a trade. In my opinion he is a must get for us.

Still young and would slot straight into our midfield.

Has been dominating the NEAFL but with GWS young guns its a hard place to break in atm.

This was Pre Draft:

Anthony Miles is an inside midfielder from Howlong near Albury and is hailed as a natural leader having captained NSW/ACT at both the NAB Under”16 and Under”18 Championships.

In 2009 Miles played 13 matches as a bottom aged player for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup, and in 2010 he played 11 matches to average an elite 27 disposals and 12 contested possessions per match.

In both seasons he was runner”up in the Bushrangers best and fairest and in 2010 was selected in the TAC Cup Team of the Year.

At the 2009 NAB Under”18 Championships he averaged 13 disposals and five-contested possessions while in 2010 his averages of 30 disposals and 13 contested possessions were both ranked number one.

These efforts saw him selected in the 2010 NAB AFL U18 All”Australian team.

This was at the start of the year:

Anthony Miles made his AFL debut in Round 4 against Adelaide, collecting 15 disposals and eight marks on debut.

The tough midfielder played seven games in his first season in the AFL with an impressive average of 18.3 disposals and 4.9 marks.

Miles’ most exciting display in his first season was against Fremantle in Round 17 when he amassed 27 disposals and took six marks.

Miles also showed a lot of promise with a number of best on ground performances in the NEAFL in 2012.

Anthony has great ability to win the contested footy. He uses it effectively, which sets him apart from many others. His work rate is outstanding and is matched by his energy and fanaticism to do the extra things, which complements his game well.

Absolutely. I will be pretty disapointed in the recruiters if we don't sound this guy out.

So would i.

Played footy with him, absolute jet and has a good yard of pace

Yep. It seems he's starved for opportunities at GWS, would love to see us have a crack.

Do you think he would nominate for PSD?

I think someone will want him enough to trade personally

happy to trade for Miles. I rated him as a youngster. Starved for opportunities at GWS ... strangely!!

Not sure what his Value would be?

3rd round pick??

trade as a straight swap for Jake Spencer... they need mature ruck stocks

Is it time to start getting into his ear, and telling him to enter the PSD so we can take him? I sure as hell think so!

Hard to get info or footage of this guy but he is a mid and it would be nice to add another mid with a couple years work under their belt.

Does anyone know if GWS wants to give him a contract or is he going to probably be delisted?

If he is better than Nicho or Jetta than I am all for it.

I don't know if a contract has been to the table, all i know is he is uncontracted.

It says on the GWS website The tough midfielder played seven games in his first season in the AFL with an impressive average of 18.3 disposals and 4.9 marks. Miles’ most exciting display in his first season was against Fremantle in Round 17 when he amassed 27 disposals and took six marks.

He is a must for me.

Alright if anyone's actually seen this guy play come forh now. tell us of what you saw

Please!

I watched every GWS game (I watch every game), and have no recollection of him.

Either I'm too old to remember (distinctly possible) or he made no impression. I lean to the latter (that could be to make myself feel better).

Alright if anyone's actually seen this guy play come forh now. tell us of what you saw

Yeah, I picked him in my supercoach last year (GWS first year), pretty sure he had a good NAB cup.

Anyway there was some reason I selected him, but I think he got injured and never played many games.

I liked the kid, but can't remember too much.

This is where the 'Demonland as Recruiter' ideal stalls a bit...

Yeah I think Dees supporters taken those drafts off.

Had Miles been drafted in 2008-9, 2012, then we'd have more of an idea.

Highly rated when GWS were formed and hadn't played a game. Not sure what happened since then. There has to be one amongst us with knowledge on where he is at and why he hasn't played?

Those last 3 games was his test against some goodish players Ablett, Jones and Palmer.

Obvious set to test his mettle. Acquitted himself well by the sounds of things

Too many ordinary games in there.
