Recommitted Lachie Ash [re-signed until 2023]

[The Nostradamus]

Vic boy coming off his initial base draft contract - go home factor maybe?

 

[Smythe]

not a chance, has a permanent role, will get good 2nd contract, their defensive to attacking plays will be based around him for a long time.

He will be a starter this year and get a good contract. Can’t see it.

Was picked from day dot as a Shaw replacement. Shaw was even told that draft night.

I mean again it comes back to whether he wants to be around family and mates

There's nothing to suggest he' struggling away from VIC, or that he hasn't got good friends around the club. If he left, you'd assume it's motivated by cash

Every interstate player will always to some degree even small have some pull home

Yet every year majority of players out of their home state stay at their clubs, so obviously it can be overcome

No doubt but until signed then we shall discuss

We most likely will have the #14 jumper free after this year, I wonder if he would like to play along side Balta,Vlastuin,Short,Grimes and Astbury

Who did the kid support growing up

Nah, this is the beginning of time catching up to Richmond. They're on their way down so it'd be silly for Ash to go there.

 

[Slysh]

Not many players leave after 2 years when already playing seniors but i hope we at least enquire because we desperately need another line breaking defender.

I really rate him, Giants have a good one.

GWS

Don't see why he'd leave unless some club offers stupid money. Has a clear role in the AFL side already and will get a decent contract offer from the Giants.

The go home factor

 

[owen87]

The go home factor

Generally only seems to apply to fringe players, not super common that a clear best-22 young player leaves for anything other than stupid money.

 

[Orange Agent]

The go home factor

His home is 2.5 hours from Melb.

i think in this time of covid it will be more prevalent amongst more to be closer to fam and friends within borders

Lachie Weller was from Tasmania with his whole family in Victoria and went home to the Gold Coast.

Money talks. Which clubs in Victoria would be after a half back with speed? All of them? Essendon would be interested I'm sure.

 

[Orange Agent]

His idol pre-draft was Whitfield. Thought he would of extended by now, if it gets to mid season I will be worried but cap changes and list changes would of been a big factor last year.

Wouldnt have made a difference if he played for a Vic club last year. He was back on his parents farm during the season shutdown anyway. Country kid, grew up on a farm, his dad was a superstar country footballer. I dont see the type of kid that would think $$$ is the over-riding factor.

yep and going forward maybe ease to the farm at any given time will take precedence over playing interstate

A lot of our players are granted days off during the week/after interstate matches for this exact reason. Albury airport is closer than Melbourne.
