Pick 27 Anthony Miles

his disposal is underrated by some - very rarely wastes a possession. has got chimp and dusty covered in this area.
 
At the time I did not understand why this kid was available to us when he was...I was stoked then and over the moon now.

He's not slow. He's just one of those players who has a lot of time, everything around him goes in slow motion. He is easily our best disposer inside player, he just does so much good with the ball when int an tight and he rarely wastes a ball when loose with a bit of time. This guy was a gem of a pickup. The one positive of GWS getting those ridiculous number of draft picks, some will wriggle out and if you can snare them cheaply, a massive bonus.
You're right. He's not super quick, but he's not slow either. There was this bloke called Greg Williams who was slow as, but bugger me if he wasn't a fantastic player all the same.
 
The thing with him is when he gets tired, hands on knees, on haunches, he goes again and again and again.

You wouldn't think our greatest need would have been addressed at pick 46 in the 2013 rookie draft. Will play heaps of games and I'm so glad it's for us.

Yeah, bit of Lenny Hayes about him.
 
He got crunched heaps of times got up and kept going
No ###ing around absolute ball contesting beast
Love him.
 
What a game what a beast. I don't reckon I've need more irate at a decision at the footy when he was called for holding the ball in the last quarter and the Hawks got a goal. Umpire 7 it was, should be drop op last week for that decision alone could have cost us the game

Sory but nothing can compare with Vlaustin's "non-mark" against the Blues.

As I said earlier poppa it's an extremely talented player who can mark the ball without actually touching it in flight
 
Slowly becoming my favourite player.

That second quarter when the Hawks were coming he willed himself from contest to contest and stopped more easy clearances and easy ball from contested situations.

He is a contested beast and we finally have someone to assist Cotchin.
