He started off last year similarly then got injured and came back to his hack kicking ways. That being said I think we played him as our main rebounding defender last whereas now that’s Martin’s gig and McGrath can be more of a 2 way player.
That could be the best example then.
Finishing on top of the ladder helps for some of these "less picked" roles. Josh Daicos last year would be another example, as a classic wingman. He had a great year but if Collingwood missed finals and his output was identical, I doubt he would've got the nod. It's just how it works.

Miers being talked about last year but not making it probably helps his cause. He's also improved his output from last year.
The one that helps most for something like AA is his goal tally. He kicked 7 goals last year and you're never making the AA team as a forward with 7 goals. But he's already got 7 in 7 games this year. If he keeps his current output and can kick ~25 goals, whilst also maintaining the possessions and goal assists, he's a chance. As a biased geelong supporter I'd say him and Cameron and Stewart are reasonable chances. But wouldn't be surpised if he's overlooked for someone like Rozee, Buttes or Petracca at HFF

Shake down the thunder
Think there should be more Giants.
Suspect over the next month as they descend the ladder, Carlton folk will become more strident in their demands for more Blues to be included.

I don’t see Toby in the team as of yet …. He’ll make his run as the season progresses

I see him and Bolton as the two best small forwards so far. Not much competition though haha

Daniels has been better than Toby to date, but as Toby will come good why change it
Stengle's stats are brought down by being invisible in round 1, but has been top notch since then.
3.3 combined goals/assists and 15.3 disposals over the last 6 weeks and mostly in our best players each game.
But I would have Greene slightly ahead of him.
Bolton has had a few outrageously good games and a few poor ones. So it depends how you rate consistency.

Good call Stengle has kicked 12 goals, AVG 1.7 a game with 6.6 score involvements.
Similar to Stengle could throw Dylan Moore into the discussion as well, started slow due to interrupted preseason with glandular fever but has built week on week, had a good last month. Probably the only hawk in form tbh, but we look insipid so I doubt he has any chance over a season playing as a fwd if the ball is camped up the other end.
Just for comparison his stats, 12 goals, AVG 1.7 with 6.7 score involvements.

Also to add to this Moores SI % is 33.8 which is really good but probably says more about the Hawks than Moore.

So how much higher than 7th in AFLCA must Miers get before you award the position in the team he richly deserves?

Coaches votes.

Oh. Fair enough. I don't really pay attention to that until the byes tbh. For forwards I usually base it on the goals and assists combined as that's usually the most accurate guide.

I wouldn’t read to much in to it.
Serong clear 5th and has dominated 6 of 7 games in the midfield can’t get on the pine.
Lazy 17 clearances on the weekend.

As I said, generally speaking I wait until the byes for the coaches votes as far as relevancy. I literally only know that Heeney is going ridiculously well in it.

The last two have been it honestly (and Saturday was off and on, we had a beer pong tournament at my footy club haha). I know he's playing well but there are a lot that have also been playing well that I have seen.
Zach Guthrie a sneaky chance to get in at half back?

He’s playing very well but not that well. Just doing his job efficiently each week
