After fracturing his fibula twice in 2021, and undergoing surgery following a syndesmosis injury during the 2022 pre-season, Miers had a delayed start in 2022. But the unassuming forward with a unique kicking action warmed his way back into form, and again established himself as a valuable component of Geelong’s forward set-up. After returning to the field as a late inclusion in Round 4, he held his spot for the rest of the season, collecting his first AFL premiership medal in September. His work-rate as a link-up player and crumbing forward are phenomenal, and he has a good ability to find the goals when needed, finishing with 13 for the 2022 season.
