know nothing about him looks to be a decent pick. players starved of opportunity are the ones we need to be targeting. pretty hard breaking into a midfield full of first rounders.
he also meets a big list need. for me as far as genuine mids go the numbers are low.

the only issue i have with him is his size i tend to steer real clear of the midgets. some questions i ask are does he have some outstanding attributes that can offset his lack of size. can he play as an inside mid at afl level again because of his size.

would hope he has real pace and is one touch and clean with good footskills. there were 18yr old smalls who ticked these boxes.
so has anyone here seen enough of him to answer basic questions or is it all pee and wind as usual.
surely those talking him up have seen enough of him play to well talk him up.

fair question claw, all I can say is my mail is he has hands like titanium coated steel traps, legs like a cheetah except with a deadly hoof for accurate kicking... but that isn't all, he also has arms like an orangutang for great tackles.  So he is a weird looking bastard but goes alright.

I think we all owe Claw an apology for not knowing the attributes of young Miles. As soon as I finish peeing, I'm writing him a letter.

Impressive for a practice match. Still, Banfumbles might've been handy tonight. His poor skills wouldn't have stood out but his pace sure would have.

Miles was one of the few positives to come out of last night. In preseason games you're looking at newbies who can step up and he didn't do his promotion chances any harm leading our contested and clearance stats on the night and kicking 2 goals from midfield.
