James Aish

[Crowbling]

I thought Port would go for him. Would complement Jimmy Toumpas.

 

[conVINCEd]

Why would Aish and Gibbs be in the same sentence ?

They weren't. They weren't even in the post I was replying to.

Rejecting a player just because they once didn't pursue a chance to come to Adelaide is cutting your nose off to spite yourself. We don't even know if we ask Aish to come home last year yet Cleric wants him to 'rot'

 

[conVINCEd]

I agree. James Aish sounds like an absolute soft****.

What are you basing this on? An already discredited rumour that the Pies may have floated Aish as a trade option?

What kind of a soft**** doesn't want to play for the club he grew up supporting because he can't handle the pressure of his surname? Get real James! As a supporter, I get offended when a player who I think should come to the Crows doesn't come.

Come on that was a generation ago and there was only Michael Aish - his father Andrew was just another Trevor Chappell. If he can't cope with being compared to a past uncle then he hasn't got it for AFL. I didn't see the Robrans or Eberts have a mental problem with this and their fathers were in a different league to James' uncle.

Andrew Aish was still a pretty decent player, good enough to play for state footy for SA, although he retired early to be a Physio.
Calling him "another Trevor Chappell" is just stupid.

People are different. Not everybody wants to stay where they were born and stay there for good. Some actually want to get out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves. It seems odd that people would condemn him to being a soft**** because he's left the safety net of his family.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

We need a strong squad to win finals footy, if Aish came at a cheap price, the Club should look at getting him.

Our time is now.

He would most certainly strengthen our SANFL chances

We don't need another player that goes missing

Trevor Chappell played test cricket - Not many tests, obviously, especially compared to his brothers. I thought the comparison was pretty apt

 

[Cleric]

Jeepers. I'm guessing you're in the 'no to Gibbs' squad as well?

If we get Gibbs for a good price ok. But not for pick 13 and CC/Gov/Dear etc.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Must admit Aish impressed me in the latter half of the season with some of his games. My only worry is that if we get Gibbs and him, then we'll have two players who really don't go in for the hard ball - would prefer another hard nut with some decent level of skills I'm afraid (like MCrouch but with the ability to kick over a jam tin).

Fair enough

 

[Crowbots are dead]

I worshipped his uncle when I was a kid as a mad redlegs fan and I really wanted him at the crows. Huge question marks if he is made of the right stuff to win a flag. We need a hard nuts

Greg made sure he ruined him. Great sibling.

 

[DangerSloane]

Cheaper? He's now on a 3 year contract and played well for us this year.. no way you'll be getting him cheaper

His last two games were brilliant.
10 and 6 disposals for an unaccountable midfielder.

He's tripe, keep him.

ah yeah because not like he didnt get injured in the first quarter in his last game, we will thanks

 

[hippyhippy]

The aish train has departed ... he has not yet lived up to the name and expectations.

 

[Pugsley]

ah yeah because not like he didnt get injured in the first quarter in his last game, we will thanks

Enjoy your coach and his desperation [emoji5]

 

[Scorpus]

This guy is the second coming of David Mackay. One good season early in his career, can't even come close to backing it up

What about his other 10 posession games?
He didnt get injured in all of them.

Unless you call a lack of heart an injury.

one average game in a 6 week period of good footy from a 20 year old meh, you can have your opinion as i said sorry for posting on the wrong board.

I'm not a bucks guy, I would reply with something snarky back but I would just cop a card

Joffa, you're style ?

 

[GROTTO]

While I do agree the major difference is that he is still very young and has been at two Clubs where he probably was allowed to act like his shit didn't stink. Being back home may put his life and what he wants to achieve in perspective.

If we got him cheap he would be worth the small risk.

So he had 6 good weeks all season?
Played 15 games and was dropped twice from what I remember.

Andrew was a good solid player as was T Chappell. James Aish may or may not be in Michael Aish's shadow but he certainly isn't in Andrew's.
