I've just listened to that interview. All it seems Connors was commenting on is that Collingwood are not chasing Aish, because they have a plethora of midfielders with Treloar, Greenwood and Crisp in the mix, (not to mention de Goey, Pendelbury, Sidebottom and Swan). He was using that as a justification for Freeman wanting to leave as there would be more possibilities of a senior game elsewhere.
