James Aish

[Elite Crow]

The direction of the club attracts players and keeps players around the club.

It does and so far very happy with the direction

Why wouldn't Aish want to come to the crows?

Why wouldn't Aish want to come to the crows?

Who says he doesn't?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Who says he doesn't?

Me neither - a high profile, high draft pick who barracked for us as a kid - and who wants out of his club - will inevitably end up anywhere but here.

Peter J does

I think you are taking what Peter J said a bit too seriously

I'm sorry, but how else was I supposted to take that comment. IMO, Peter J is a straight shooter and that comment had no sarcasm attached to it.

Peter J ?

 

[Tex200]

Sorry folks - throw away line. He's the type of player we just never seem to be able to nail in terms of recruiting.

With that said I absolutely agree that we are putting ourselves into a good position in terms of being a more attractive club.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Polec's best buddy wasn't enough to get us over the line

However, I'm wondering (hoping) that the issues with Sando's coaching which weren't public knowledge at the time but would have been known within football scared him off

Agreed. And I do share your pessimism, we've tried and failed to secure a lot of similar players in the past and never landed one. Maybe Aish is our man/fish...fingers crossed.

I doubt it.

Footy clubs are pretty privates places and I doubt many, if any player would openly bag their coach and I don't think many players would talk about footy away from their clubs.

 

[Cleric]

Lol. If Aish prefers to go somewhere other than us we may as well lock the gates. That would be like an Ebert not wanting to play for Port.

They would and do, especially to friends they have at other clubs. All players are desperate to know what goes on at other clubs.

Poor environments breed loose lips. How do you think Ricciuto got schooled up to what was happening at Adelaide last year?

How much do you complain about your school, principal, other teachers etc? Or anyone else about their workplace? Footballers no different.

Fair point, especially the last one but its very hard to compare as I don't name names. I just vent but I take your point.

Didn't scare off Eddie........having said that I really think Polec's preferred destination was always Poort regardless of the Sando situation.

 

[Sherrinator]

Who are you going to give us? Remember we desperately need a KPF that isn't a project player and we already have enough Motlops.

And so it follows we should always be Aish's destination. We just have to close this deal

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Isn't this his 3rd year?

J Brown comments from on the couch have merit but he is in his 3rd year.

We aren't flushed either - there's no one rotting away in the B's that should be getting a game somewhere.

Agreed and I hope we do....whilst retaining Danger, Sloane & Dougie.

I have faith that if we're a chance we have the right people in the right roles to get the job done.

Am loving the turnaround in the club on and off the field.

Pods can take a hell of a mark.
