Not sure how much miles fits in anymore. Seems like we've upgraded, could be a good depth player.
I think there is room for Miles. We do need to rotate guys through the midfield and when Prestia is resting and Caddy is up forward, he still is required in the guts as a pure inside mid.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Agree with YBB. Miles did some good things, should be playing 16+ games next year barring injury. He's higher up the pecking order than your Lambert types, only a good thing IMO.

Would drop Bellis, Grigg & Hunt before Miles....

They used Edwards and Grigg in the centre a fair bit but when push comes to shove in a high pressure game against a good side, I'd much rather see Miles in there than them. Would back him to not go into his shell and become a liability which is Edwards M.O

why the stuff do some people think you cant have three blokes who win plenty of inside ball in the one side?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Was it ever addressed what was in the RFC players ears?

Because then we couldn't play 3 outside running machines who squib the contest and kick helicopter punts to the opposition?

They are devices tracking & recording data for concussion / head knocks. Not actually in players ears attached just behind the ear

A lot of players from all teams are wearing them in the JLT series

Not really, just got told it records contact to the head during games and how the brain reacts. It's all about some concussion study the AFL is undertaking
