Certified Legendary Thread Future of James Aish, for a limited time only! (trolling opposition supporters automatic day off)

[iBeng]

He pretty much wants to come to Collingwood to play with Scharenberg and the rest of his SA mates. If you ask me, the whole scenario seems vaguely familiar, however the difference being Collingwood will not have something as good as Pick #5 and a quality player like Crisp up for trade. Not sure how this will work out.

Amazing how cocky the Woods can be when they beat St Kilda...

Aish only came up as a possibility late for us. It was said at the time that we had last minute interviews with him because he was a chance of slipping to our pick, despite being a consensus top 3 for most of the year. This considered might indicate we weren't able to put enough time and effort into his pre-draft analysis. On the surface he might have always seemed like a flight risk but given the short time to assess him it looks like our recruiters decided to back the club's ability to turn things around (we did have a big turnaround in this department post GH5)

At some point the risk is worth the reward. If we applied the "don't take him because he'll head home" after a top 3 rated player falls to pick 7, we'd be missing out on Daniel Rich. I don't think our recruiting staff made a mistake in taking Aish there.

If he chooses Collingwood I'm going to be very very mad. Fair enough if he wants to head home imo. Top 10 pick required to get the deal done though.

just as you guys were mad Beams wanted to go to Lions. 2 way street pal

Agreed. And to a lesser extent we could be the butt of all jokes ala Richmond's drafting. "Lol Brisbane picked Tambling over Franklin" etc

Please take your dribble elsewhere.

Just a friendly reminder to opposition supporters posting in this thread to be aware of where you're posting. We're happy for you to join the discussion if you have something constructive to say but we don't have the patience for any trolling.

There wasn't much between Aish & Scharenberg for Pick 7. If both were available you would have weighed up the flight risk of Aish V the concerns over Scharenberg's feet (which are fine now).

Subtly pumping up your own player. Until Scharenberg can prove himself and get on the park Aish is the better player.

Scharenberg & Aish were neck and neck pre draft with Scharenberg having more runs on the board (dual AA, runner up in Larke Medal). Too early at this stage to say who is a better player.

It's fair to say Scharenberg would have been less of a flight risk for Brisbane.

I well aware of that. But, what I gathered from your post is that you were giving your bloke (who I preferred at draft time) a pump up even though he has done nothing.

I feel bad for Brisbane with all the players who have left in recent years. No team can be expected to improve when so many of their young players leave as soon as they can back to their home states. It is good you guys have that top quality kid in your academy this year as he is one player who you can feel reasonably secure with as he is not likely to want to leave after 2 years.

 

[BulldogMurray]

Pickering is full of s**t.

Reverse Occam's Razor with him. Assume everything he says means something much more devious and Machiavellian.

I don't want to appear like a smart arse but...it's Okram's razor

Please tell the AFL this, we could do with something to help us out. Money isn't going to do s**t at this point in time.

You're thinking of Okra Raisin, which is an innovative yet mildly disgusting hors d'ouevres.

Never fear, you don't look smart, because you're wrong.

Brisbane Lions CEO Greg Swann says "you don't have to be a rocket scientist" to work out that star youngster James Aish will leave the club at the end of the year.

The Lions have made a disastrous start to the season, losing all three of their games by an average of 58 points, and are rooted.

Ocker Razor? He's that short, bald umpire, right?

No, not wrong.

Razor Ray has been called many things.

"Ocker" isn't one of them....as far as I know.

 

[Hollow Knight]

No, not wrong.

Ok mate.

Must have dreamt about that degree I did in political philosophy.

 

[MacMum]

No, not wrong.

Yep, wrong. Google it.

 

[patfullfankezz]

Talking about razors and Pickering in the same sentence?

I like it!

 

[BulldogMurray]

Ok mate.

Yes, you're right. Need to check my facts. Always referred to it as Okram's Razor.

Get Sydney involved. We should be looking at Tippett

So in other words you have NFI
