Watched him play every game when he was at the Giants. In the 10 games he played he had 166 possies and racked up 42 tackles. He gave 100% in every game he played.

It was almost impossible for him to crack a regular midfield spot in a team when you are competing with top 10 draftees who were always given preference. Green, Treloar, Smith, Adams, Shiel, Coniglio, Tyson, Sumner and then throw experienced midfielders in Scully, Ward, Power, McDonald & Palmer. FFS, Geez Geez Superstar would have been languishing in the 2's!!
This is the only reason why Miles had limited game time before coming to us and it wasn't because he was too small. The kid can play and he has one thing you can't teach, Intestinal fortitude.
Something a number of our players are lacking at the moment.

Richmond consider upgrading in-form rookie and former GWS Giant Anthony Miles
« Reply #185 on: May 06, 2014, 07:21:33 PM »
RICHMOND is considering elevating former GWS midfielder Anthony Miles next week as the Tigers run out of chances to turn around their season.

Miles is in contention for elevation for Richmond’s contest against Melbourne after the bye after another prolific VFL game.

He won 37 touches against Geelong’s VFL side on Sunday at Punt Road, with 24 contested touches and a dozen clearances.

And while the Tigers overlooked him to elevate Matt Thomas and Orren Stephenson in the pre-season, Jake King’s toe injury has put the small forward on the long-term injury list.

It frees the path to elevate Miles, who has clearly been the club’s best VFL player of the year.

Miles impressed not only with his clearance ability in the NAB Cup but also with his tidy disposal, with VFL coach Tim Clarke resigned to losing him to the seniors soon.

He played ten games for GWS after being recruited as a zone selection but was delisted at the end of 2013.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick told On The Couch on Monday he believed the season was still alive despite the club’s 2-5 record.

But ruckman Ivan Maric is still as many as three weeks away after ankle surgery.

“If there was a game at VFL level he would play (this weekend) so he’s probably about 2-3 weeks away. He’s an important player. Guys play well around him. You could see with the addition of (Alex) Rance and (Brett) Deledio how we played. We will have a bit of a mini-review and the players are off Thursday and Friday. We look forward to recharging the batteries but the season is still alive.”

I'm glad he's 2-3 weeks away, was starting to worry about the consistency of the clubs rhetoric!
