If he's the son of Michael Aish then he'd definitely be available as F/S.

Can't answer any of your other questions though.
After the Bryce Gibbs episode, I wouldn't be certain about anything.

Some one on here said he's very Skinny but also tough as nails, in the Mattner mould.

I think he is a FS option. It would be nice, especially when it looks like Port will now get Bryce.:D

I have heard he's on the rapid improve and is available to us via the FS rule.

He played in the Norwood trial game, started on a wing and moved to a half forward flank in the 4th quarter. He left a lasting memory with me after he kicked a gaol; he was shoulder to shoulder with Ian Perrie and over 4 metres he ended up running into an empty goals, not sure if Perrie gave up or took it easy but he showed he has a lot of pace of the mark..

Good enough? In the second half of the AFC vs. Norwood game he didn’t look out of place like some 17 years do. He was competitive when he went for a contested mark and safe hands when it hit the ground. Could play 10 games for Norwood A’s. Give him the season with Norwood, but he looked promising.

Available to us?Who knows any more? How many games did Michael play for Norwood between January 1st 1970 and December 30th 1989 (to make sure)?

Type of player?

Anything? Wingman/ mid field type, half forward flank (I guess half back as well)

Just had a look and Michael Aish played 307 games for Norwood between 1979 and 1983 so all looks good.

1993 -

In 1979 what round did he debut?

1991, 1992 and 1993 (maximum 75 games @ 25 per year)?

1979-end of 1990 needed to have played 200 games. So it does look likely he would meet the criteria.

Oops my apologies - gee he'd have to be good to play 300 games in 4 years!!!

I'd say he is ours under FS - surely worth a punt as we are only giving up a 3rd rounder to get him.

Fear not the AFL will change the rules when young Aish is good enough. He'll probably qualify for Richmond because they tried to get Michael to play for them.

I hope people dont jump on his bandwagon just for the sake of gaining a FS selection.

1 Mar 2006, 16:52

Dont rate him much personally.... Like Darren Pfeiffer he played up in the adelaide hills as a junior, finished around 5th in the association medal the year fyfe polled 39 votes from a possible 39 !!!! and blitzed it naturally. Back to Aish hes reasonably quick and tall but wastes his disposal and is prone to backing off the hard ball. Did break my nose tho !!!! Not saying much coz im half his height. I agree dont jump on the bandwagon just because hes eligible and an Aish. Wait and see until after this year

Michael had 242 games from 1979-89 so he easily qualifies

Played against him once, when he filled in for a under 17 game, he basically one tha game for em against us, kicked for memory 5 in a low scoring match, is extrmely quick, and that was tha main reason he was so dominant, his skills arnt tha best, and his bouncing of tha footy is woeful

Sounds like the jury's out on young Aish's ability, but he's definately available via FS. Maybe it will be more clear later in the season, when he's had his chance to shine.

He definately played 200 games but I have no idea if they were in the qualifying period. The SANFL web site has removed the details of the 200 game players for some reason. Also there doesnt seem to be any information on Paynter in the Sturt web site, the Legends of the SANFL site or anywhere on the web, which I thought was a tad bit strange considering he was a star in his era.

Any Sturt fans out there know Paynter's details??

he would qualify if you take into account his sturt and bays games. However, I'm pretty sure sturt are alligned to Port Power.

I didnt realise he played for the Bays at all. I thought he only played for the Double Blues.

Also I thought our clubs were, Norwood, Glenelg, Sturt and South. While Port had PMFC, Central, Eagles (both Woodville & Torrens), North and West.

I'm no expert though, obviously!:o

Doesn't the rule specify that the 200 qualifying games have to be played at one club?

Thus a player who plays 201 games for Norwood and 50 for Port would qualify for Adelaide as F/S, but someone who plays 150 games for Norwood and 150 for Port would qualify for neither.

So on that basis, and given what Crowkie has said, he would be eligible for us.

Noticed he was best for the reserves and kicking regular numbers of goals.

Drummond, Punchy, is he improving as I sugested he might as the year goes on?

Has he got that something special to make it at AFL?

Finally is he actually eligble now under the grandfather/great grandfather/son rule?

Which other sons of 200 game players are currently playing SANFL football (Under 17-league) beside Hately and Gibbs?

Would Peter Marker's son be avaialable who played in the Crows pre- game entertainment match before hand?

Jesse Aish definitely qualifies under the father-son. But when the Gibbs saga blew up, I remember Triggy being quoted as saying the Crows would almost certainly not be able to pick up a player under the f-s rule for 10 years (or something along those lines). If that's right, Jesse Aish isn't even on the Crows' radar.
When it was discussed on 5aa, Cornes pulled him up on Jessie.
he's on the radar, but like most i reckon that a 3rd rounder is over the odds. ATM.
I personally like the idea of him not nominating until next year, because we could treat him like a rookie, and if he comes up great if not, no loss.
Anyone know if he actually wants to play footy for a living?

Macca19

Yeah Paynter misses out by a couple of games.

I have my doubts on Aish. Hes fairly tall...must be at least 190cm. Is very quick for his size. Against Port a couple of weeks ago he showed everything - both good and bad. His first half was horrid, dropped marks, weak efforts, dud kicks. His second half got them back into the game with a few goals and a few assists too. Is a bit of a cult hero down there too.

Although Michael played for Norwood at an early age his brother matured a little later.

Jessie could be in that category.

The next thing he needs to do is to make the Norwood seniors and stay there on a regular basis.

Success is a fine line at this level.

A few good games here and it will not just be the Bigman and a few others saying they told you so.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Whenever Ive seen Aish hes played on a forward flank as a Scott Stevens type tall flanker. Hes not skinny as a rake. Hes got a reasonable amount of muscle. Hes taller than his dad was. Quite quick across the ground but can look very uncoordinated at times.

He's a bit of a reluctant footballer - a touch of the Nathan Abletts about him. After finishing with 1st XVIII he was planning to play Old Scholars footy and just have a kick with his mates. He had to be convinced by others to give SANFL a crack.

In that case, he best stay at Norwood.

Hi all, I haved recently moved to Melbourne and are a bit behind on the gossip. Jesse Aish playing AFL, I can hear it now from my work colleagues "whos son.... Michael Aish?, never heard him.....". I am getting a little parochial here but if Michael Aish was playing today he would be one of the guns of the league, he was still dominating when he played against the other old timers in the Whitten Legends Game a few years ago.

What about some of the other guys like Justin Scanlon, Keith Thomas, Danny Jenkins, Lester Ross, David Payne - does anybody know if they have any kids coming through the ranks..? ahhh those were the good old days = pre AFL!!

Yeh, I saw him and the old man.

He's basically came out and said he wants to be the first Crow father/son selection, and I get the feeling the interview was mostly to put his name up and make sure the Crows are aware of him and his desire to play for us.

They stated that he had only taken up playing football seriously in recent years and was developing very quickly. He certainly looks to be a good build for it. He's taller than the old man, looks fairly solid without being really muscular, and looks pretty athletic.

Lets wait and see how he goes for the remainder of the season. Just maybe he can impress enough to warrant the Crows taking the punt. I think everyone would love to see him turn into something special like the old man was. It might soften the blow of missing out on that other son of a gun we've been denied. Fingers crossed.

Don't have to take him this year....can tell the lad "wait another year" then review it

Very strong draft ....not ideal for Aish to up against a 3rd round in this draft?

Asking him to wait an extra year is almost like placing him on the rookie list...in fact IMO nothing stopping the club having him train with us or at the least accessing the AFC resources (A.Stewart)

RogerRabbit69

7 Jun 2006, 20:43

I think you'll find some of the people at the AFC already have given Jesse a bit of guidance.

Based on the little I've seen of him this year, I don't know if Jesse's worth a third-round draft pick at this stage. I'm sure our recruiting team would have done plenty of homework on him already though.

What you are proposing is no doubt good for the club but not for the young man in question.

You are effectively saying dont nominate for this yrs draft on the CHANCE the crows will pick you up next year. But theres no guarantees - injuries, form etc can impact next yr. ANd Trigg mentioned recently of no upcoming FS selections for a number of yrs.

With the above in mind, why would Aish not nominate for this yrs draft ?

Beacuse the Crows may think in a strong draft that he's not worth a 3rd round (late developer as someone said) ....yet they may take him next year as a third round with a little more development.

The crows may also like to rookie him but thats a raffle.....yes he can put himself in the draft BUT if the Crows don't think he's worth it....the odds are that very few 3rd rounders make it anyway.
