Anthony Miles

[Klaus]

He's about twenty times the player (and person) that Toby Greene is. Horrendous list management by GWS and you get the feeling it will come back to haunt them for a long time.

 

[Mateyman]

Interesting comparing him with Taylor Adams

Or Josh Caddy for that matter

 

[rapido]

Miles' way of play reminds me of Barlow. He looks taller than he actually is. I was surprised that he's listed at only 181 cm.

 

[Adam H]

Or Josh Caddy for that matter

Caddy>>>>>>Miles>>>>>>>>Adams

 

[I am Jack]

Caddy>>>>>>Miles>>>>>>>>Adams

On this year, It is an insult to Miles to even mention the other 2 along side his name.

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

dom tyson too for that matter

 

[RedmanWasHere]

GUN!

So good was he that I wished he turned it over.

Just doesn't stop.

Where the ball goes he follows it.

 

[Mateyman]

Caddy>>>>>>Miles>>>>>>>>Adams

Lol. no way has Caddy been much better than Miles. Anyway, let's look back in about 3 years when we actually know a bit more about the players.

I wouldn't go that far. They do have a disgusting amount of midfield talent to choose from. Their list is still a candy store.

But certainly I'd be taking him ahead of Greene based on what they've shown.

 

[Sprout]

dom tyson too for that matter

Easy now. He's good but he's not Dom good.

The list can't be that great if Toby Greene is getting a game every week. He's a complete dud who the opposition coaches love getting racking up the touches as he invariably butchers the footy.

Greene will be OK.

If anything, you should have picked Miles instead of Garlett.

 

[Barnzy]

I love Anthony Miles.

Freak ball getting ability and you can't teach natural footy smarts.

 

[Upgrayedd]

When talking about a young player i as well often find ways to mock other teams with a lack of hindsight.

 

[local]

Ok player.
Good blue collar worker.

 

[si tacuisses]

Better than Adams.

Tell us how you really feel about Collingwood, no holding back now.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Love the guy. Just an honest footballer.

Horrendous list management yet every club passed over Miles with every pick they used in the main draft... Give us a spell.

Poor decision in hindsight but it's not like other clubs were falling over themselves to clean up on GWS' s ineptitude.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Thought we needed 1 or 2 more gem mids to help round out our young crop and getting Miles at a bargain price is a massive win and a rare highlight in a bleak season. Hopefully we'll be seeing him do this for years to come!

 

[master bate]

The hubris of GWS attempting to create some kind of a super team where all the inside midfielders have exceptional class and skill.

It's a nice idea to think Callan Ward can lead the way and the be backed up by smooth movers like Treloar, Coniglio, Whitfield, Kelly, Hoskin-Elliott, Shiel, O'Rourke and of course Scully and Greene.

But even if it does work like that it's still a few years from happening so why in a year they'd already sold off Taylor Adams and Tyson would they get rid of Miles. It's staggering.

They have a depth of young talls and rucks they needed to keep on their list. As well as needing the extra spots for Josh Hunt and Dylan Addison who regardless of form I think they needed at the club. And cutting down to 46 senior players and just 1 rookie was always going to be a challenge, looking through their list and presuming some guys had contracts for 2014 it's hardly a surprise they had to give up a good player, just not a delisting who comes on this strong. More like the blokes they traded to the dons.

Probably the biggest mistake they made was re-rookying a guy called Sam Schultz instead of giving Miles another shot at GWS in their one rookie spot!

 

[juss]

Will get worked out and return to mediocrity next year...

Theres not a heap to work out. Hes not someone with a heap of tricks up his sleeve. He is a very simple player. He gets in and under and wins the ball im contests. He shovels it out to better users of the ball.

 

[La Dispute]

dom tyson too for that matter

And Hombsch.

Josh Bruce looked pretty good last week as well.

 

[grouse mate]

Can handle copping cheap shots in a thread like this from some supporters, but Melbourne supporters, give it a spell. You have no right at all to question any clubs list management or development.

To be fair, not every team needs a young inside midfielder that can win his own ball. However, this is something that GWS themselves lack.

So you'd say he's Miles better than Toby Greene?
