Quiet last week but returned to his perpetual motion style again. Thanks again GWS for the gift!
Ol Ivan is about the most predictable player we have, if it's against the top shelf , you know he will try but get beat , if it's the bottom half rucks hell flog em , an the rest good battletigerlove said:
Always on the bottom of every pack. How many head high tackle frees does he average per week? I still can't see how GWS let this guy slip past.
You can thank Sheedy for that as he never gave him a fair go. When Miles was given a game at GWS he played on Ablett and kept him to 23 possessions (his lowest for that year) while getting 20 possessions himself.
Team rule at GWS in those years if you get promoted to the Seniors you play two consecutive weeks. Miles was dropped the next game to make way for a more highly fancied high draft pick player.
Apparently at least three AFL teams rang his manager to express their interest him when he was dropped the next week.
The following season he suffered a few injuries and only played a few games and was delisted at seasons end.

All the current talk is about RFC win/loss ratio with Deledio in the side, but the same could easily be said about this kid. Was breaking the door down for months and months before finally getting his chance, which he took brilliantly.
Sounds a little like a bloke I used to work with. His name is Neil Brindley, he played 1 game for the Pies back in the day. That debut game Matthews put him on Healy the year he won the Brownlow, he was consequently towelled up and Matthews never played him again.yandb said:
Interesting that Miles' manager let it get to the point of him being rookie listed if other teams were interested in him. I'm not complaining though, he makes GWS regret the decision every game he plays for us. His more highly fancied mates will be watching on next week, while he plays in his second finals series.
