Out-of-favour Tiger mid meets with Gold Coast

OUT-OF-contract Richmond ball-getter Anthony Miles has met with Gold Coast about a possible move as the Suns look to bolster their midfield.
AFL.com.au understands Miles, who has played only one senior game this year, is on the Suns' radar ahead of next month's NAB AFL Trade Period.
Miles signed a one-year contract extension at the end of last season, but has not been able to break into Richmond's line-up apart from his 20-disposal and one-goal game against Port Adelaide in round 12.
He also managed just five games last year after he was squeezed out of the Tigers' first-choice midfield. Miles played 19 games in 2016, and averaged 23 disposals as well as booting 10 goals.
A move to the Suns would be the 26-year-old's third AFL club, having started his career at Greater Western Sydney before arriving at Punt Road for the 2014 season.
The Suns are on the hunt for midfield depth and experience to add to their list.
Brisbane midfielder Ben Keays is believed to have an interest in heading to the Suns for further opportunities after playing just two games for the Lions this year.
Keays, 21, is a Queenslander and joined Brisbane in 2015 as a product of the Lions Academy, but is unlikely to be a priority for the Suns during the exchange period.
The Suns hold pick No.2 at the national draft, and are expected to be given pick No.3 as compensation for losing co-captain Tom Lynch to free agency.
However, the top end of this year's pool doesn't have the same amount of midfield options as previous years, meaning the Suns could look to draft talls while targeting midfielders through trade or free agency.
The AFL is also considering ways to help the struggling Suns on-field, with one possibility the club will be given priority access to a number of mature-age players from state leagues.

Trade has been done for a while now.
Tom lynch for Anthony miles with a compo pick to GC from the AFL, steak knives to us.
:cheers

So we get pick 100 odd for Miles?
Works for me; but can the AFL come down on us for collusion?

The article most likely released now by Richmond or close friend to establish separation on the Lynch deal.
The suns have multiple picks in first three rounds but nothing in round 4 so we will get their round 5 pick in the 70s and one they probably would not have used.
Given Miles did not get any attention last trade period we can honestly say this was best deal.
-
Why are we trying to give away Miles?
An exchange of third round picks would be fair.

He can walk

Wasn't wanted by anyone last year and wouldn't get anything for him now bar maybe a token late pick. :shh

Hmmmm
No there were a couple of suitors lsst year
He took Richmond's offer instead
-
Nope that was pure spin - was put on the table and had no takers.... :shh
-
Regardless, I wish him all the best if he does go to GC.

A few clubs were absolutely interested but thought they might be able to talk him into going over via pre season draft, weren't willing to trade for him. There was a flurry of work done by at least one club to trade him but left it all too late.

Respectfully disagree
There were at least 2 clubs
Will back in the person who told me about it every time
-
Snip was offered contacts this year at Sydney and another club although was his decision to take up the extra year on offer
Is very well liked and respected by all at RFC
Will no doubt get to the club he wants in 2019
-
Anthony's attitude over the last couple of years has been outstanding
Despite being overlooked week in, week out he has just gone about his business to work hard be and be team first.
Defintely something I wish some of his peers in the reserves displayed consistantly.
Good luck to him in his future at another club.

Well said. I wish he would stay but totally understand if he leaves the club.

Wish him luck. Hope he gets another 100 games elsewhere like he deserves.
Would have played him several more times this year, especially with Prestia out injured.

Another player who has been linked with a move to the Suns is Richmond’s Anthony Miles, but Dew was coy on whether or not they will make a play for the Tigers midfielder.
“He (Miles) can certainly play AFL footy,” Dew said.
“He’ll be one talked about in the next month, where he sees himself and where it fits we aren’t sure.
“But again, from all reports, he’s of good character and certainly comes from another good system.”

ANTHONY MILES
Done deal to the Gold Coast and we’re hearing he’ll be traded for a third-round pick.

So that will be either pick 38 or 41 as it stands.
We'll be happy with that as we don't have a third round pick.

win / win for both parties
be good to see us allow him to get to where he wants
He deserves it, been very loyal the last 2 years. Could have left at the end of last season (has offers) but choose to stay
-
good result for Richmond here. Anthony provided good service but opportunities were limited. we get the chance to bring in a kid from the draft.

Agree. Did everything he could to break into the senior side. His attitude was fantastic.
-
Pretty good result.
Was a good servant and stiff at times. Great guy.
-
So we get nothing for Miles?

Or even kilometres...

We're hoping to bundle Miles & Ellis together to try and get another 2nd round pick.
The Suns will have picks 2, 3, 5, 19, 27, 30, 39 & 42.
-
Word is we'll get picks 29(30) and 38(39) for Miles and Ellis....laughin'... :shh
-
Lol, was just about to post the link.
"Despite an impressive pedigree for both players, the Tigers won’t be expecting too much in return from Gold Coast, at best looking at the Suns’ current draft picks 29 and 38"
https://www.sportingnews.com/au/afl/news/afl-trade-richmond-tigers-ellis-and-miles-almost-certainly/vwm6vncah0hyzmidoyrv9got
Take that in a heartbeat.
-
Wowee!
Surely that cannot be true.
If we got pick 30 for both would still be a bonus imo.
-
Bargain...take it and run!
Maybe they think they're getting a good deal to sweeting the TL FA haha
-
They gave up pick 2 for Weller. Probably on par with that. This mob loves paying overs.
