Lot of love for this kid. Still can't believe GWS de-listed him and we got him for only pick 27 in the rookie draft. They're off their heads

Big year ahead for Milesy.

 

[TigerImposter]

What a nice humble kid
Sounds like he's going to be better to me. What a ball magnet we got
Leader for sure and have we given is uncle a job yet?

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Future captain perhaps...?

 

[sante]

Needs to work on his speed/spread from the contest. Just gets caught behind too often but other than that he's a gem.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Calling it early.

He will win our B&F next season.

Body shape appears to be a lot lighter than Conca's from the vision . Llyod also looks in a lot better shape than this time last year .

Good on him for going the extra yard, Daniel Connors should be sent a tape of Miles, pointing out if only you had applied yourself you idiot.

Good Point. When thinking of Miles, I cant help but think of the phrase " It is not the size of the dog but the size of the fight in the dog that matters" Miles is not a typical " big body" mid but he fights like one.

A real gem!

My pick for the best bang for your buck pick up for 2014, hands down.

If we can get 2 or 3 kids in the draft with his work ethic and drive we will be very well placed in the next few years.

 

[Hounddd]

Feels good finding a gem so late in the ND/Rookie... Always seemed to be other teams, like Freo with Barlow, Collingwood with Langdon, Dogs with Dahlhouse etc....

Easily best bang for buck pick of 2014.

If Lids plays a whole season forward he will win the Brownlow, Jack Dyer and Leading Goalkicker.

 

[Tigersman]

Miles was eligible for rising star last year. Not saying he would have won it but how he wasn't nominated is beyond me

He wasn't eligible that's why

 

[DontArgue4]

He wasn't eligible that's why

Hahahah

You forgot Norm Smith

 

[Tigersman]

He wasn't eligible that's why

Isn't it 21 and under and no more than 10 games?

 

[El Tigre]

Thought he had a few "Dimma-risms" in there. A few words that Dimma would use, tight-lipped when not speaking.

 

[tigs2010]

Isn't it 21 and under and no more than 10 games?

Yeah but he was 22.

 

[Tigersman]

21 when the year started. I thought that was the rule? I'm probably wrong

 

[theflea]

21 when the year started. I thought that was the rule? I'm probably wrong

I think its 21 at February every year.

 

[Tigersman]

If he missed the cut off it wasn't by much then!

 

[Funky Chicken]

Isn't it 21 and under and no more than 10 games?

Yep.

Is that the most ridiculously arbitrary set of numbers or what? 10 games? Why? Who comes up with this crap?

Almost as ridiculous as the other arbitrary 150 games to qualify for a lap at the GF which denied Jake King.

 

[TigerTime88]

Miles is effectively like an extra first round draft pick if he continues to perform at the level he did. I actually think his performances last year were near enough to elite for an inside mid. He is effectively everything Conca should be.

That snap goal against the Swans in round 23....

 

[RunningBounce]

“I can play Round 1 hopefully, if selection warrants it." - I enjoy hearing that level of humility coming from Tigers.

 

[26_Miles]

One of the few who could hold their head high in our disaster final. Has heart, fight, is a ball magnet and crafty around the goals. Will be an absolute beast with a bigger tank. If he keeps working on his kicking will be elite.

Man crush is real
