Oppo Camp James Aish (Traded to Freo 2019)

This. He is a good kid, level headed and still finding his feet. A bit of TLC goes a long way for our sponsored player.

And not everyone makes a Immediate Impact like Treloar. Treloar was more Exception then the Rule
 
Who does he push out of the midfield?

Phillips showed much more last night than Aish has in any game this year.

Given what Aish cost and he is a 3rd player that's a worry.

Crisp and Greenwood I can see him sharing there Spot.

You are a Super Harsh Marker.

Phillips was good.
 
he is still finding his feet with us, it will take a little time, but l think he will show
how good he can be

Players develop at different rates.

Aish in his first year was a jet and nearly won the rising star.

So to say "phillips has shown more in one game than aish" is a very foolish comment.

He will be a slow burn, but i reckon this year is all about resetting aish after brisbane destroyed his development. He is very talented
 
Just stunned by the negativity on this site sometimes. The kid played a solid game last nite. The club invested heavily to get him for a reason. He is quality and will develop in time. Some really stupid comments about his build. Do ya reckon it was a problem for Robbie flower, Keith Greg or Michael Tuck. Get behind the kid and the club.

I agree with you in relation to his quality and supporting Jimmy. He's got my backing.

As for the frame, he doesn't need to be a beast but he does need enough strength and size to stand up to the modern game. That's not a knock on him though, that's just the requirement for all players in modern footy... he'll get there and will play good footy along the way.

There's probably a reason that those three champions your mentioned are all from decades past. Previous eras also allowed blokes like Cowboy Neale, Rene Kink and Brian Taylor to become top shelf players (I'm a Canberran so I have a soft spot for Cowboy). Not so easy to get by as a rake or a bus these days.

I remember reading that when we Traded for Karenezis that we seen him as a 1st year player. That how bad we rated there Development was.

I read that Aish had not had a Full Pre-Season since he was 16-17
 
From what I've seen in the preseason footage he's willing to do the work so hopefully he gets a clear run at it this year.

Phillips was good.
Greenwood another unsung hero. He blankets opponents without getting the recognition. Not as damaging as Crisp but he does a good job on them. Better than the Caff.

I do like that about him but he also can play bit in Forward Line

Nice partial quote. You left out "in any game this year".

I don't buy the resetting. He's a third year player. That comes with expectations.
 
I'd be interested in seeing Aish's GPS numbers. One of the ABC commentators reckons he doesn't run hard enough. It would be easy to tell whether that's true or not just by looking at his figures.

What I love about Greenwood is he knows how to stick a tackle. Whenever he grabs hold of someone usually the tackle is effective. Missed tackles are an absolute killer.

I don't think I'm being harsh. I haven't bagged him just that I'm underwhelmed.

Can't see him taking Crisps spot and he'd need toincrease his intensity to do Greenwood's job nt I do Thor he's better suited inside.

Silly comparison to the 3 greats. They had speed. Aish doesn't.

And You Expectations are Miles too High.

So we should of got Rid of Swan after his 3rd Year as he did Nothing and not played AFL Yet?

That is somethink we won't know and also what Coaches Expect if him

He did the "hot potato" thing in the last quarter that I don't like.........but I thought he got better as the game went on.

He has the right temperament and drive as a young player.

Must play seniors for the rest of the year IMO.

More He Plays the More Chance he has to Settle Down into the Side.

We are not making Finals so Results are not Super Important
 
The weeks in the VFL did Jimmy the world of good, with his confidence and appetite for the competition growing each week against the weaker opposition. In what is a good sign, he carried his VFL form into the seniors, and didn't go back into his shell. As many have noted, he now needs to stay in the seniors, where he will likely still have some poor games, and poor patches in games, through to the end of the season. But if his upward trajectory is maintained, then we will have a winner. He is a classy young footballer.
