Gryan Miers is not naturally an accumulator, but he has gradually become one in this Geelong side which likes him further up the ground delivering inside 50 with his weird but effective style. The Cats may not have the best midfield in the competition, but they engender plenty of supply especially on rebound, which is where Miers thrives with his mazy runs and baulking through traffic for the most difficult of passes. His quantity has steadily risen to the point where, with Geelong's draw opening up in the last month, he's nearly indispensible for fantasy.

Miers has big shop front
Dreadlocked Geelong Falcons recruit Gryan Miers delivered an incredibly impressive debut season. With eight scores of 80+ including a four-round average of 90 early on, plenty swooped on him from the free agent pool for his his impressive goal sense despite an obscure kicking style. Inconsistency came in the season's latter half, as expected for first year players. With another preseason under his belt Miers should slide effortlessly into the 22, barring injury. There are plenty of flankers and small forwards waiting to pinch his spot if he should succumb to second-year syndrome. If the crafty forward can eliminate a few of his quieter games and link up the ground more often, he could prove a smoky with a late round pick.
Gryan Miers has become the forgotten rookie at the Cattery with most attention from fantasy coaches on his teammates Charlie Constable and Jordan Clark, who have posted some very startable scores across the first two rounds. As we all know, however, round 3 is the first week in which rookies come off the bubble in Supercoach and Dream Team, which makes this week's score all-important as it will be the first to affect three weeks of value accumulation in your cash cows. Those still holding onto Miers will hope he pulls out a good one on the road in Adelaide.
Gryan Miers gets a lot of hype in footy circles with his cool name and flashy play, and if Essendon is going to march back to finals he is one of the players who needs to find the sort of consistency that will attract interest of fantasy coaches. So far he hasn't managed to string together a full season due to various form and fitness issues, though last August he put together five games with a higher floor from increased levels of marks and tackles. He'll never be a premium, but if the team lifts this year he will be lifted along with them and merit fantasy faith.
Peer past Miers
Crumbing forward Gryan Miers is yet to debut for the seniors, but has been progressing nicely in Geelong’s VFL side. He established himself as the team’s high-pressure small forward, kicking 20 goals from as many matches, following 50 goals in 17 TAC matches matches prior to being drafted in 2017. Miers is unlikely to make much of a dent in the senior lineup, especially with the addition of new recruits Luke Dahlhaus and Gary Rohan making spots in the forward line extra competitive. There’s no two ways about it… he shouldn’t be drafted.
Trying to find Gryan
Three goals from 17 touches for 92 fantasy points is a fine set of figures for a deep small forward, which is what Gryan Miers delivered last TAC Cup season. His possessions usually came via roving or leading to space inside 50. Miers is as much a chance as any listed Cat to suit up for round 1 in a forward pocket in replacement of Daniel Motlop, with the only thing holding him back is aerobic ability to step up to AFL level. He would be a long shot speculator pick.
