Traded James Aish [traded with #69 and future 3rd to Fremantle for future 2nd & 4th]

[Taylor]

Bumps our #5 pick midfielder into the midfield, upgrades the defense position with a player who is very familiar with the coach's expectations.

If he isn't too expensive then great. If he ends up playing up the field then great.

Freo and Gold Coast are shocking with their trading. St Kilda not far behind.

And I like those 3 clubs. Maybe that is why.

Collingwood supplied the currency for Fremantle to pull two firsts out of St Kilda.

 

[nahnah]

interesting to see what his current value is, I would say third rounder.

 

[adammania9]

Justin Longmuir is one of the best defensive coaches going around, and in two years transformed Collingwood's circus back line into one of the deepest and best in the league. If he rates Aish enough to bring him over west, I reckon it says more about Aish's ability than bigfooty nuffies know.

Maybe check your facts.

Enlighten us?

You made the statement that Beams cost us Lynch. You may have to back your statement up.

However, I will say there is no way Beams cost us Lynch.

Nathan Vardy was picked 11 times this year.

What's your point?

I must say that I enjoy the mental gymnastics by Freo fans to justify this. I am sure he will put out the occasional good game but he is not a key cog of the first 22 for Freo. Or Collingwood. If you give up a junk pick maybe it's fine but the reported salary and contract length numbers stink.

It's a salary dump - he's a depth player at best but every club needs them. It's difficult concept for you .....I understand

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Lynch knocked you back and you went afterward Lynch.Good list management? Sure.

Superb post.

Can you do it in English next time?

It's a salary dump for Collingwood but do you seriously want to pick up the tab at Fremantle? If he's getting half a million for 3 years then that isn't in Freo's best interests in my view.

He will cost stuff all in trade picks so yes I do - I'm guessing that maybe Longmuir's experience with him has led to the pick up.
No offence but I'll back his opinion over yours at this stage.

He'd be B22 for us (assuming fit) and I'd be doubtful many clubs are paying much less than 500k/yr for B22 players (sans the kids in their 1st contract). The media always rounds up plenty as well. He should come cheap and fills a gap to give us more flexibility with other players. Tom Cole, Chris Masten and Mark Hutchings all have a premiership medals - you should understand role players can play a role.

Imagine knifing hill then getting this bloke on the wing instead.

I need to clarify.

Are you saying Aish is the currency to get 2 first round picks for Hill?

If so, I worry about Freo.

 

[Taylor]

22x $500,000 = $11,000,000. $13,000,000 salary cap leaves $90,000 each for the rest.

Did you back Lyon with Colyer last year? If we don't question club decisions there's really not much point to this board.

Just not sure what Aish's role will be and if it's worth that much over 3 years. Cole, Masten and Hutchings aren't expensive role players, though, so not really pertinent and besides every one would agree that they were the more replaceable bits of a premiership side.

I'm saying the huge deal dropped in front of Chris Mayne because they thought they were buying David Mundy did.

#23 in compensation went for Hill, went for two firsts.

Without looking or knowing, I assume back in the day we supplied Freo the currency to get Hill.

Seem a bit too happy for Freo here

Could do a Zac Smith and come home to the Lions, he would be good depth.

For our seconds.

How do you choose what words you are going to capitalise? Is it just random? Is there a pattern? Do you just go for it and surprise yourself as much as the rest of us?! I must know the Answer...
