If Aish comes to North because Collingwood couldn't get the deal done, then we should expect nothing but 2nd rate efforts on the field from this bloke.

He'll only be wearing the blue and white because we offered him 500,000 per year and cos Collingwood couldn't nab him.

Seriously who wants to pay that much for a potential poor attitude.

Shirley you cannot be serious. We're talking about full-time professional sports people here, who typically are competitive beasts. I'd be willing to bet that if Aish makes his way into the beloved Royal Blue and White jumper that he'll give 100% effort. No-one wants to rock up and play VFL, irrespective of what they are being paid.

I'm not sure Aish gives us anything Dumont that Dumont can't do. Handy addition but not a difference maker. Sounds like he's a smart natural footballer but not a great kick of the footy
He's pretty ******* handy and definitely ahead of froggy on exposed afl form.

What's your point? I can throw two word response out too. F*** knuckle!
You were saying as they are professional athletes, they always give their best efforts.

I provided a counterpoint to that line of thinking to which you have so hilariously overreacted to.

Settle petal.

Even if Melksham was pick 25 and Tom Bell was 31 or something? Basti's a better footballer than those two, I think pick 21-30 range isn't an unrealistic asking price given those two trades this year.
It isn''t..

That's where I thought his range was, I think that's what will be offered and I think all things being equal, we'll take it.

Tom Bell the turnover merchant, and Jake Melksham the princess netted pick 21 and pick 25. Basti is considerably better than the two of them with considerably more upside. In fact Greenwood was better than those two peanuts as well.

Both those players were uncontracted as well. If we don't get something half reasonable for a contracted player who we have pumped 120 games into then we are continually going to get reemed at the trade table. We should have held out for longer last year with Greenwood, and we should hold until Brisbane offer us something better this year.
Dont let facts get in the way of some posters ripping out the annual gem of 'look guys, we are norf, we get reamed at the trade table every year. Its the way it is'

Whether Basti is required or not isnt the point. The points are:

- contracted
- has interest from several clubs
- shit trucks have been traded in this period for picks 20-25
- collingwood/brisbane need Basti to do the deal they want where both are satisfied
- **** both clubs
- we hold the all the cards

exactly. have to play hard ball.

Worst thing that can happen is Basti stays here with a lot of his close mates and we keep a solid depth player who could still extract the digit.

Is Aish a marquee player though? Did people watch him this season? All he's done so far is have a similar, admittedly very promising, first year to the season Mullett came 2nd or 3rd is the RS, and then had a similar drop off. Big question marks on his attitude to hard work...although Brisbane are happy they've got a bit of a bidding war, they're pretty happy to see the kid go, which is not a great sign imo.
Exactly. He has done nothing but spat the dummy in Brisbane.

By that logic if we traded Harper + picks 2, 3, 4 + 5 for pick 1 we got Pick 1 for Harper :drunk:
No.

By that logic we'd have pick 1. It wouldn't be magically weighted to equivalent of pick 61 because of whatever else we threw in.

He was mentioned periodically as he always is in trade conversations. Sick of it. One of those fast players that can kick and gets called "exactly" what we need but he doesn't know how to play, footballers win you flags not players like Rohan.
