No big deal if we don't get him.. he hasn't shown anything that he is going to be a star..
id rather stevie motlop.
We will finish 11th or 12th right? lose danger... so we will have picks 8 and 9 (9 is the compo pick after our first pick for losing danger) and a pick in the high 20s..
we will have draft picks to trade for a ready made player.[/QUOTE
Jay Clarke 'aish to Carlton ' call is hilarious

He must be an old Fitzroy supporter and really hate Aish
 
Yarran anywhere will be great. Aish doesnt really fill our needs atm but has a good skillset and is a top 10 pick.(similar to scharenberg).. Yarran, jetta, dixon, carlisle, m talia, motlop and bennell should be our prime targets.
Yarran and Bennell :rainbow:
 
Yarran for Mackay, Aish for VB would be a big win
We would also end up in the Supreme Court for grand theft.

Personally im not a huge fan of Aish. He would improve our list but not our best 22 IMO. I've always been of the opinion that if we are to get him then the price should be no more than a low first rounder or high second plus a Wright/VB/DMac type deadwood player we can afford to get rid of but would be of some value to Brisbane.

We have more pressing needs than Aish, not to say he wouldn't be a good get but if there's a bidding war we should sit it out.

Take Dixon talia and motlop off that list and I like it ....talia doesn't add much for what we need compared to what we would give up , back our own guys in and get some cheaper depth in rookie draft or late in draft

Should be able to get Craig bird at a bargain - he's a very solid player that can tackle and run and won't have to give up much ( think we tried last year )
 
As much as I have total contempt for Jay Clark, several Lions players seem to firmly believe he is going to Melbourne (the city) and have thought so for a while. I have copped a few slaps in the past on here for saying he is Victoria bound but there is nothing to gain from me doing so (in fact, him going to Melbourne instead of home is an even bigger FU to us). That really just does seem to be the constant buzz though - Carlton is the one that keeps coming up over and over again.

Maybe it is a grand negotiating ploy to get the Crows to throw more money at him or maybe he is just doing a Nathan Buckley and wants to immerse himself in the Victorian footy fantasy land and all its trappings.
a mate of mine ( mad Collingwood supporter) works with his dad and was adamant a few months ago that he was keen to go to Collingwood or Carlton and has no interest in coming to us. I dismissed it at the time but seems to ring true now. As a redlegs man I don't think I can stomach an aish wearing black and white

For us to become a premiership team, we need to get a few blokes for unders, blokes who haven't shown how good they will be yet. If they have shown something you won't get them for unders, the club needs to take a risk for a big pay-off. For me that is getting the trio Aish, Scharenberg and Toumpas, none have shown they will play more than 100 games but that is the point, thats how you get them cheap, that's why we need to take a shot. If two out of three turn out to be close to the players people thought they could be 2 years ago we have a premiership side. 3 out of 3 we have a dynasty.

In theory it's fine, trouble is when drafted all three were all top ten draft picks. Teams don't give away top ten draft picks for nothing even if they've shown little.
Scharenberg I'm keen on, liked him before the draft and he has shown some good VFL form of late. Fills a need in the team.
I've documented my thoughts on trading for Aish.
Toumpas a no from me. Don't care about a change of scenery he's average. Better players in the SANFL than him..Beech,Chipendale, Habel,Hanson,Cross and a dozen more.
Trading for unders to me is getting guys like Shane Ellen,Caven or Torney. Don't cost the earth but have lacked opportunity.

All of sudden, I feel sick with the thought of an Aish in black & white.
