Prediction Player Claim for 2018 - James Aish

[Vicky Park]

I’m getting really anxious about Aish’s hair. Something appears to have gone seriously awry in the off season. Guess we won’t know the full catastrophe until he removes the cap. That’s if he removes the cap.

 

[Finnishpie]

Can we stick him on a back flank from the start perhaps? Needs a different role. I'm definitely still a fan and hoping it all comes together for him

He had such a promising finish to 2016 but this year never got going

Looks like the plan from preseason training -competing with smith on the vid they posted on Twitter.

Might Mean they Play Aish down back then maybe

they said they would have players compete with each other in pre-season for spots.

People seem to fall in 1 of 2 camps about Aish:

1. You he still has UnTapped Talent
2. Or he is the Worst Player in the AFL

 

[Soups]

He’s definitely not the worst, I don’t know how you came to that TD.

Aish is going to get his knocks but he’s not the worst. Hell, we have worse players already on our list.

and I agree. Won't be a Gun for us but could have simmlar kind of Role that Wellingham had. Be a Good Player in a Good Side but Struggle in a Bad Side

He's definitely one of those guys who polarises opinion. I'm in the #1 camp but I don't think the non-tapping has anything to do with coaching or being played out of position. James just looks like one of those guys who has cruised through his junior career on sheer ability and perhaps name and is now finding the grown up world a little tougher. If he is to improve it will come down to how determined he is...

Front runner. The worst type of player.

Same reason I never particularly liked Leon.

How do you know his is a Front Runner?

You are the Type that say Aish is 1 of the Worst Players in the AFL on Definitely on our List

Leon was brilliant down back.

How do you know his is a Front Runner?

Because having watched him subjectively over a couple of years he has been unable to assert himself on a contest when the game’s been on the line, and rarely against top teams.

I'm of a different school of thought about Aish...

I think he's skilled, has poise, has polish and can have patches of brilliant play. BUT, he's way too weak for an AFL midfielder right this minute. Which is why I want to see one of two things done with Aish.

Give him a year in the VFL and have the years goal to be focused on strength and strength only, OR change his position to that of one more outside of the crunch. He has a beautiful kick when he's not being bulled off the ball.

Should’ve happened this year.

I don’t think he has another one left now to spend on “development/working out where he fits in the team structure”. He needs to perform wherever he plays next year, or at least show highly promising signs, or he’s out.

Sorry for the intrusion.

I am confident that Aish will make it, just needs a few good games in a row to regain that confidence. Will be a massive gain for your club if it happens.

Actually, I am quite bullish about the Pies more generally in 2018.

You have been reported.

You should know better than to be optimistic on this board.

Well, I suppose someone has to be bullish. Hilarious it’s from an opposition supporter.

Howe said Aish is ‘on fire’ so far this preseason. Then again, he could mean that literally.

Same......same as last year and the one before that

Bought a Mercedes and just like the car it's rattling and leaking oil after 2 years

 

[TradeDraft]

Good to hear the Aish is doing well at Training and Sounds like Gary Hocking has taken him under his Wing a Bit

 

[sr36]

Needs confidence. Last year he looked terrified of making a mistake every time he went near the ball.

Will be 23 next year, ain't exactly a skinny teenager anymore.
