It's nothing like that. Liam Pickering is Aish's manager. He's got Aish thinking about all the dollar signs he could get like Pickering got for Tom Boyd and Buddy.

How is he starved of opportunities has played 23 of a possible 25 games missed one through injury and dropped after the Collingwood game media just want to sell papers he could still sign
To the Collingwood troll.
1) Aish is from Adelaide
2) He is not "Best Mates" with Scharenberg.
3) If he leaves it is far more likely he will go home.

Are there any Collingwood supporters who didn't sign up this month?

This whole situation is BS. The first contract these young blokes sign should be for 5 years. Draft picks just have no value anymore.

Yes but if he wasn't off contract after 2 years this wouldn't be an issue.

Why that would only lower he's value look at what we got for Longer and Polec who weren't getting games

20 games into one of our other young players would be handy. I understand that it is highly unlikely to happen though.

You sell him short by saying he just wants to leave for the $. I'd guess that by now he's totally fed up with losing games in front of small indifferent crowds as well. Unlike Beams, I suspect the message being sent out by the Aish camp is that he will he happy at any club with a reasonable culture and winning record.

If their good enough to get games they will
Agree with you on the win/losses front but stating our culture is a stretch too far.
Not sure about "madness", given that top 10/first round draft picks from traditional football states are all probably "flight risks", e.g. the GH5 group. What are we to do, given that almost every top pick is going to tell recruiters what they want to hear. It is bloody disappointing but what else were we supposed to do? Who would you have picked instead of Aish at #7?

I don't know you've been uncompetitive for a long time now and how else do you explain the fact that Brisbane are having great difficulty developing and retaining younger players

Yep, everyone knew this was a big factor before he got drafted + I don't think he's a big enough talent to justify the risk. You would have been better off drafting Salem or Freemon

I can't belive this tread is still going.
My word is gospel. Aish is staying.
Close thread.

if you're a player you want pickering as your manager.
if you're a club you don't want to draft his players.

The next player taken after Aish was Luke Macdonald, who was a father/son pick.
After that was Christian Salem, who apparently wasn't keen to move interstate.
After that were Nathan Freeman, Dom Sheed and Ben Lennon, none of whom have been as impressive as Aish, none of whom would be immune from the go-home factor either - Freeman and Lennon are Vic Metro boys, who have a reputation for wanting to go home, and Sheed had been linked to the Eagles for a long time.
It's just not practical for us to effectively push ourselves down the draft order so as to slightly reduce our vulnerability to the go-home factor.

No news per se, but does include new quotes showing Swann's public stance has changed at least.
This has been a very deflating few rounds after a really positive preseason.
