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?

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.

More Info:

February 28, 1992, 181cm, 76kg
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.

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

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.

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
