Weight he doesn't need, but the strength that comes with physical maturity and working in the gym will come.

Andy Krakouer was built like a jockey. When you saw him up close and personal he looked like you could break him in half with a sneeze, but in close he could get the ball.

Best game so far for the kid and he'll only get better.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

In Adelaide on a Sunday and watched the GF
and Aish playing in 2nd -in-a row SAFL GF
He was brilliant and was in best 4 players

And yet to be drafted to Brizzy --now we have
him and he is adapting each week to the AFL

His tackle in Crow fwd 50 and his nifty goal
I am following his progress with interest

I agree Dave - he was nearly in my top 5, but went missing a little as the game wore on. Looks classy off both feet, which i like, too. Growing in confidence and poise.

I don't understand the love for Aish. IMO he does a few ok things like hit a target, but, he simply does not get involved enough and ball watches too much. This is the real issue, not his small size and lack of legs, for a mid he is not aggressive enough for mine, has no presence. Opposition does not pay him any attention or respect, he places no fear or concern into the minds of the opposition, it"s like he isn't even out there.......like Cloke tonight, mister invisible.

Would you rather players who try hard but are Turn over Machines?

Don't want Aish bottom of packs.

Guess you don't look hard for Aish then.

Building well since coming back from VFL

I like mids that are big and powerful or skilled ball magnets, Aish is neither IMO. I don't rate him, neither did the Lions. Doesn't do enough, maybe expectations on him are too high, I don't think he will become this awesome A-grader that many think. Hope to be proven wrong. Might be a Tambling.

Think you expecting too much too soon.

Aish is better then Tambling.

I am not saying he be our Best 3 Player or anything like that but can have a long Career being a very good player. In the 5-10 best player in our List

Great to see the boy gaining experience within the team. I think he's fast becoming what we got him for. Forget that he's not a rampaging brute who smashes into everything he's more than that. He's bravery and toughness is unquestionably and has outstanding awareness.
A touch of class in most of everything he does.
no second chances
