I've not noticed Pendles, Treloar, Adams, Sidey, Reid etc suffering from this condition in previous years
You seem to have misread my post, my point is that any player that goes missing too regularly will get dropped, not that every player in the team regularly goes missing. Just how long that takes depends on how many credits they have in the bank.

On Aish specifically his form in the back half of last year should have seen him earn at least a couple of get out of jail free cards but he shouldn't be able to survive the cull if repeats his JLT 1&2 performances more than once in the regular season.

Before we get too hard on the lad.....

Aish had more disposals in his first four games than Reid had in his first three seasons.....

Given that they are both top ten picks and look what happened to Reidy in his 4th year I'm tipping a monster year for Aishy this year ;)

He looked like he was ready to break out last year against Richmond - awful game but he was taking screamers all over the place. Now he seems lost out there.
Still better then last year when he could not even get a Touch. He did miss a Game from Illness so might be bit out of Touch or still not over it

Has been overtaken by WHE and Phillips.. where is he at?
I hope Aish and WHE aren't competing for the same spot as I think they're different player types
WHE has height agility and provides us with spark through his s factor
I see Aish as silk on the outside (I think he can go inside as well) and as a player to release other players
I think Broomy and Aishy are probably more like-for-like in terms of position
However, whether Aish makes it or not is another issue - I so hope he does as if he puts it all together we have a beautiful link/ distributer

Well I could add at least another 10. So you drop 10+ Players?
I'm not saying drop him?! If we had better players out I would but we don't. This is the Aish thread and I said where is he at? I can't see him play on a wing because we have better options there... he needs to re-invent himself into a small forward or rebounding defender for this season imo

Far from Horrendous:rolleyes:
Cmon Dave, i reckon most of those at the game wouldn't have even known he was playing.

He has no influence or presence whatsoever. He runs hard to defend, I'll give him that but his possessions don't hurt the opposition one bit.

He needs to find way more of the footy.

Well he is ahead of where he was last year when he Struggled to get 5 Touches.

His touches don't have High Hurt Factor but at least he does not turn it over much

He was far from our worst player last week, doubt he will make way for others when the team is crying out for good ball uses. WHE played forward in the last quarter, could turn out to be a permanent option. Aish can play as an inside or outside mid that makes good decisions with the ball. Best 22 without a doubt for me!
