Whats he done now?

Also liked Buckley giving him several backhanders over this week.
Turns out that not only did he ask for an interview in his apology letter to Fasolo, but he did the whole thing after being told by Collingwood their doctors thought the best thing for Fasolos health was for Robinson not to contact him at all.

LOL, explains Buckley's "feather your own nest" comment on FC

Does anyone else reckon James Aish is just a more polished Cale Morton?
I think at the outset our Cale might have been better in terms of 'silky' skills, but James Aish is the more generally robust hence useful.

Aish does look a bit of a bust considering his draft position though. He just isn't that great at anything in particular, doesn't have the silky skills of a really gifted outside player, and isn't really hard enough so his contested work is probably never going to be a strength either. I would be a bit rueful as a Collingwood supporter

I actually thought that was one of Aish's better games I've seen ... but I'd still rate it about a 4/10 at best.
yes - I thought he was better than usual. Certainly I kept noticing his helmet popping up here and there. But overall he looks a disappointment really.

Yah. He's a marginally less shit Toumpas. Collingwood managed to end up with the three players from the top 10 of that 2013 draft who won't be stars (well except Boyd, but at least he'll make it as a role player)
Scharenberg will be pretty good, has had a rough run - are you counting Freeman?

Easy too forget given he still hasn't been sighted. Collingwood actually did well just getting him off their books.
Didn't they get a secound rounder for him too? Absolutely got away with one. How many footy players go four years without getting their own Wikipedia page, let alone top 10 picks? Hope he gets on the park this year or next for his sake

It was a future second and a swap of late picks.Their issue with "winning the trade" is that they traded the future 2nd to Brisbane for Aish ... just to have this conversation come full circle.

Any other year you'd think being 6th at this stage would almost lock in a finals birth. But the ladder is crazy tight this year. Best season in yonks.
It's unreal isn't it. A mate and I each did a ladder predictor yesterday (he goes for Collingwood) He had them finishing 6th if they beat us in Rd23, and 8-10 otherwise, and us 6th if we win, or 8th otherwise. When I did it, I had Collingwood finishing 11th regardless, and us 6th ... but either and any outcome is just as likely. The Ladder Predictor has never been more useless!

Yep, incredible year.
The Hawks (who I don't think will go anywhere near playing finals this year) are currently 17th - 2 games (+ percentage) behind 5th!!
