Toast Welcome to Freo, James Aish!

[theGav56]

Thx guys. Was very skilled in his day, really small but was effective.

He's listed as 183cms. Reasonable size for a mid/utility type

 

[thistimeforsure]

Been good value , whether they’re a superstar or a depth player that’s about the highest praise you can give IMO

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

He is my BigFooty Freo Board player buddy for this year. As with every year, as soon as I pick a buddy they drop out of match committee selection discussion.

Very under rated player and also young enough to go on at a 4th club I think. Hasn't had a bad injury history either and doesn't seem to have worn down much in terms of pace or agility.

 

[JunglistPosse]

He’s back!!!

I think Aish will be in the 22. Fyfe also. Need to see if he can run out enough minutes in a full game. Darcy’s omission makes this feasible. To me O’Driscoll becomes the logical sub. Would inject a lot energy at the back end of the game .

Yeah I came to the same conclusion. If Banfield is going forward to take Switta’s role ( logical conclusion) then Aish will get his role in the backline, really comfortable with Aish getting a game as he has been in great form, so it’s reward for performance.

One of my favourites over his time at the club. Go well Aishy

 

[largebus]

Got to 100 games for us so yay father son i guess? Dunno if his uncle will agree.

I dont think he was ever the same after the hit from Mansell. Coupled with another concussion recently and it was the probably right time. All the best Aishy

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Always courageous, never shirked the contest and had great skills...

 

[Bigger]

Always made the right decision. Even at the end.

Very good footballer. Very good.

 

[Purpletown]

Aish was reliable and underrated.
Thanks for your service to the Freo football club James.

 

[Diverbelow]

A very good player for Freo. Always reliable. Best wishes for your retirement.

 

[Dump Truck]

Well there goes my partners main reason for supporting Freo...
Was a great clubman, always clean and smart disposal.
Go well you majestic, sexy, long-sleeved man!

 

[Perfect Purple]

Played some really great games for us and never ever shirked a tackle.

Thanks for being a Docker James.

All the best for your future.

It was always strange to me why the club felt he fell of the cliff so quickly. From one of Longmuir’s favourites (he brought him across) to not able to get a game for the last two years and only 29, just weird.

Didn't realise he played 20 games last year too. Had played 101/109 games since coming over until the start of this year.

 

[Freomaniac]

Gutted. When fully fit he was in our best 23

 

[Sumwun]

Hat's off to the best pirate we've ever had. Thanks James.

 

[Sully90]

Always loves what he brought on field. Good luck with everything Aishy

It was only very late 2024 that he fell off. He played 20 games in 2024 before playing a couple of late season WAFL games - not enough to qualify for finals. Was given a taste a couple of times but fell out of favour. It happens as you get older and his time is up.
