Farewell James Aish (confirmed)

[WhyPhilWhy?]

Seems he is on the table and amenable to a move, with The Age suggesting he got on well with Justin Longmuir and therefore Fremantle is an option.

To be a realistic, Aish and a draft pick for Hill?

Dockers put three-year offer on table to lure Magpie west

"It is believed Aish has spent the weekend considering the move and on Monday was increasingly likely to accept the move to provide greater career security."

When exactly did Longmire approach him? While still at the club? Bit of insider trading or something going on lol

And I wish aish bulked up more then he did...I still think he's too skinny for afl level
And his disposal efficiency is badddd

But does show u internally how much the coaches rated aish

[woodys_world69]

And aish I think is from SA originally. So he moved to melb and now possibly moving to Perth to further his AFL Career. Why aren't more of the going players like this guy? Instead they are always "home sick"

I think more needs to be done with these kids at the development stage with camps and travelling away from home for more then a week...

Perhaps after Brisbane, anything is acceptable?

[Achilles]

Not sure this is a good move. We have Greenwood out for much of 2020. There's talk of Sharenberg being traded. I'd be okay with one of these guys moving on, but not both.

[Mr Miyagi]

Aish is Norwood royalty, but if he's open to Freo then there's no loyalty! lol

I like Aish, but he's a bit of a Wellingham -- plays for the lifestyle and does enough to get a spot, but despite his obvious talent and ability, gets comfy and doesn't take that extra step.

After seeing this kid play a blinder in SAFL GF of 2013 I totally felt I’d like him in black and white—-well he eventually did wear my fav colour combo

Sorry that ya leaving—best of luck mate

[Pies4shaw]

Well, he had me putting my hands over my eyes during the 2018 GF. That’s a blinder of sorts, I suppose.

[Pies2016]

Aish reminds me of guys like Daniel Rich, Petracca etc.
They were junior prodigies but for whatever reasons, haven’t really taken their “ adult “ footy to new heights.
It can happen, the history of the draft is littered with them.
The best thing he can do is to find a home where he is best 22 and has little competition for his spot.
If he does move on, I wish him well.

Aish was a midfielder asked to play as a defender and is our version of Eric Hipwood, that being 5 pre-seasons later has barely put on a kilo. When identified and brought in for season 2016, it was done with two second round draft picks (one from the Freeman trade and one via our draft pick). However, it lacked imagination and failed the "balance the list" test with a known scenario that our midfield at the time included;

* Pendles
* Swan
* Treloar (joined same time)
* Adams
* Steele
* DeGoey
* Greenwood etc..

ahead of him in the pecking order at the time for midfield minutes.

Quanor can easily take his spot
