Aside from Pendles, Reid and Grundy he was our best last night. On a night when Collingwood were seven shades of shit, choosing poor targets, slipping over and fumbling like the ball was a cake of soap to see Aish put up such a composed game with ball in hand was very pleasing.

Agree. 18 disposals is an improvement in his ability to get the ball, and he used it well in general (although there was one awful kick inside 50 that stood out).

Easily the best game he's played for the club, and he's starting to gain more confidence in his ability too. Nowhere near the amount of sideways kicks/handballs under no pressure like we were seeing earlier in the year.

Aish was excellent. Much maligned. The kid is a 20-21 year old, had injury issues, had Brisbane bear issues and had come to a massively intimidating club with extreme pressures to perform highly from day dot.

Has performed well in the past couple of games. Lots to work with and as team becomes a more cohesive unit he will flourish.


Much like the Maynard hating on here, he gets judged quite harshly. Played much better than many of established players so he deserves the kudos he's getting.

He, along with Maynard, will be a very good player for us.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

He is doing exactly what is required of him, he is improving

 

[TheSierBear]

Why do you guys take Duritz's bait?

Because we are idiots. Is that what you are alluding to?

 

[NT.Thunder]

Let's leave the discussion to Aish.

He was one of the positives I thought to come out of yesterdays pretty poor all-round showing.

Was impressed he stood his ground and put his head over the ball. He needs these games and will continue to improve. We should continue getting games into him and pretty confident he'll be a big part in our future.

As I've said I won't judge Aish till next season, I had very low expectations on him this year coming off a shocking personal and football season last year.

Now he's just starting to show what he is capable of, will push for best 22 early next season.

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

Was good yesterday. Hard at it and some creative disposals. Took an incredibly courageous mark as well.

He was very good when injected into there centre square. His instincts in close appear to be excellent.

I think it's all a confidence thing with him. Give him five straight games and he'll be playing a very consistent and important role.

Agree. He has a great footy brain. Always seems to be in good spots. Read it off the pack well a few times last night.
Really want our young guys to get a block of games together.

Incredibly courageous mark? That's not really my takeaway. He stood under and marked a sky ball without shirking the contest which should be the expectation of each and every player that takes the field. Howe and Oxley could learn a thing or two from it though given their propensity to hesitate when backing into a contest as the plus one.

It was a great mark Sco in the circumstance and probably one of the few highlight for me anyway.

I also loved the fact he got up after that sore excuse for a sniper Thomas tried to take him out.

Sad to see how far Thomas has fallen since 2011. Then I think about the team he plays for and I

Oh I won't begrudge it being a good mark I just wouldn't say it was incredibly courageous. For instance give every single Collingwood supporter out there a chance to stand under that ball and I bet to a man or woman they'll do it.

The culture I want our club to build is that moments like that should be the norm once you pull on the black and white stripes not ones to be seen as a highlight.

FWIW if I'm looking at Aish for a courageous act it's copping the spray from Pendles and getting on with it. That's a different type of courage, but when faced with that my expectations of a 20yo bouncing back are a little different to standing under a high ball. I know I'd rather stand under a million high balls rather than cop a spray on gameday from someone as reverred as Pendles.

I didn't see the spray........good on him accepting the criticism and doing enough for his team for the remainder of the game.

I still think he will only get better.......I would love for Bucks to mix it up this week and play him & De Goey in the centre.

I don't want to see Blair in the centre for the rest of the year.

When did Pendles spray Aish?

Aish best Postion is in the Center and where you see the best of him.

Loved 1 passage there where he got the Right Place got Ball from Ruck Tap then Kicked onto Clokes Chest

Agreed Dave but he hasn't earnt the right to be there at the moment.......that will come.

I still would like to see him in there over Blair........but that's just me.

[Mkcaptain]

I was very happy with Aish's game last night. I'd say he was one of our more influential and composed players.Its easy to say that he's being played out of position, but until he forces his way in or a position opens up in the main midfield rotation he needs to learn how to play a different role. It was great to see him get involved in the game last night. He seems a safe set shot which is always a plus.

 

[DaVe86]

I thought aish was good in the first half. He had a good influence. I just wanted him to go on with it and have a big game.

Its another step forward anyway.

Agree. Blair is not a Great Mid and Someone I feel Aish could have a bigger Impact

Thought Aish ended game well(Last 5 or so Minutes)

Yeah he did. You are right.

I thought at half time though he was going to have a big breakout game though, and then he went quiet. He just needed to go on with it.

But it was a very solid game overall and i thought he was important.

3rd Qtr seemed been his Quetist. Did feel he might have had a Big Game but still had very solid game

 

[Good_Old]

He went pretty well last night. 18 disposals (10 kicks, 8 handballs), 4 marks, 2 tackles and a goal. Not sure on his DE and meters gained though.

 

[Kirby]

It was Jimmy's best game for the club so far. Good on him!
