I think he was a mid as a junior so doing alright adapting to the forward line.Don't discount him as a future midfielder.
Statistically between he and Max King for the RS nom atm.
Make it 3 with Georgiades.
Any thoughts on G Miers? Now he’s a GENUINE star small forward in the making my friend. You can take that to the bank.5 years older, 7 years older and 6 years older.

I’d be rapt to see him make it. Don’t get me wrong. But I’m just saying, I can’t see what the recruiters must’ve seen to use our 2nd pick. That’s all. Nothing against Jack. Not one bit.It was a pick in the 30’s big DF. It’s not like we flushed a pick in the early teens on a 170cm FP.
I’m hardly ”getting stiff” over the performance, but you need to give a kid a chance in the game. Too many want to be first in with the “ I called it, he’s no good”.
I see.Looked like a millionaire in a mature established side.
How do you reckon he would go with us at the moment?
Mahony would have kicked 3-4 in their forward line tonight.
But apparently all our other players are really good as well according to this forum. Is there anyone on our list you don’t rate? Or are they all great players just struggling for a bit of form?Looked like a millionaire in a mature established side.

But let’s also be realistic and not praise mediocrity which seems to be a common theme here.

I think it's pretty easy to see why we took him at pick thirty-odd, because - as one reference point - he was ranked 14th by Champion Data in his draft year (in other words, a bit of a steal) Very similar in that respect to Caleb Daniel in the 2014 draft, ranked 16th and taken at 46. Also too small, and too slow....but! a premiership player (we took Sam Durdin, Daniel Nielson and EVW... oh well)I’d be rapt to see him make it. Don’t get me wrong.

Miers was running around in TAC cup when he was 18, not playing AFL. Then had a year at VFL to develop.Any thoughts on G Miers? Now he’s a GENUINE star small forward in the making my friend. You can take that to the bank.
If we'd had an effective small defender on him he may not have scored a thing. But he has very good hands in close - quick hands, sure one grabs of loose balls that he often has no right to get, a lot like Mahoney actually. Look at Mahoneys first game and first three possessions if you want to see composure and something more than mediocrity.Any thoughts on G Miers?

I know you like speedboats and Mahoney is more of a tugboat but he's more than a mediocre player.
Spot on. The goal Mahony kicked was all class though. Another pre-season or two to build strength and explosiveness and he will be a quality player. Clearly no really ready yet but these games will stand him in good stead.Miers was running around in TAC cup when he was 18, not playing AFL. Then had a year at VFL to develop.
VFL is probably where Mahony should be. However there's no VFL and we're a little short on AFL quality right now.
