Anthony Miles [merged]

[Judge Roughneck]

Delisted kid from expansion club
Dunno if it fits the moneyball definition

Why its 'moneyball' in buying low.

Its not in the same category IMO as your Houlis, Thomas, Griggs, Hampson that are not in the Miles age bracket

Hardwick admitted he had not expected Anthony Miles to have the impact he had since coming into the side. He continued his stellar form against Port with a 28-disposal performance.

“I didn’t, I’ll be honest, he’s an incredible competitor,’’ he said.

“You have got to love those players that continue to surprise you at every level, he has done it all his career. The ability to win the hard ball can never be underestimated and that’s what he does really well ... he just keeps getting it done.

“He has been really impressive for us.’’

That comment infuriated the crap out of me. He clearly pays no attention to the VFL and is oblivious to the efforts McBean, Arnot, et al are putting in to try and get a senior appearance.

Also I found it interesting that Ken Hinkley went in his posit match presser that when players earn a spot on the seniors he wouldn't go chopping and changing on the back of a stand alone bad performance because he views stability in a team is very important

Finally we have picked up a real gem of a player at no appreciable cost, about time the recruitment Gods are on our side. Need to find another couple at years end.

I cant believe Hardwick's comments, we all saw it, why the stuff didn't he????

[Stripes]

My sons favourite player. Top kid to chat to as well. An upgrade on Thomas imo. Coupled with Cotch they are tough to match up on with their inside/outside run

No you didnt

Go back and have a look at how many time including the pre season I and many others called for Miles to be elevated and played!!!!!

Enough with the baiting.

[Yeahright]

#5 in afl for clearances

Is that average or total? Either way it is impressive.

I went back not long ago and you were on the Thomas wagon and were happy when he was elevated instead of Miles

I concur its impressive. In decent company with Ablett, Libba, Kennedy, Ward, Cunnington. Was tagged by Cornes last game, too.

astbury is gone for the yr  and grimes is a 89kg weed who you want to play on the clokes and hawkins of this world. cmon judge we are stuck with chaplin weather we like it not. there isnt one other viable option.

[unplugged]

I love how he hits players up from the center of the ground and goes long down the middle.  This is how you win games of football.  Not hugging the pockets.

I am not able to watch reserves and am suspicious of high stats in reserves but I do read what reliable posters who go to reserves say and he was a stand out.
So WAT if by "we" you mean our reliable OER molls who watch the 2's then fair enough.
