Was the only positive out of a dismal night
Has class and is improving every game

A touch of class in most of everything he does.

This

Hopefully our current coaching team don't stuff him up.

He is at least starting to show a bit of form even if it is not overwhelming form. I hope he keeps improving.

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.

The boy can play.
He's a natural footballer, does things instinctively that aren't as common in the modern footballer as they should be, such as shepherding after laying of a handball and clearing out of dangerous space for others to run into at the right times.
He's also a one-touch player.

Watch him a bit closer and think of Sidebottom, but with more physical presence.

I agree. I don't care whether a player has class or smarts, or whether he looks good, or whether he's an inside or outside player. All I want is a player who can impact the game and help us win. While Aish is showing signs of improving, so far, he is having very little impact on the course of games. Hopefully he'll be vastly better next season, which will be his 4th year of football.

Is it an Adelaide thing, Rudi?

I think he will be a gem. Will develop into a top notch midfielder if we don't phuck things up.

I guess being an atheist I'm possibly prejudiced against the city of churches.

Nevertheless, I'm starting to see his quality emerging, so hopefully you're right and he really begins to blossom next year.

Same as Adams in his 1st Year.

At the Start just about everyone was calling him a Dud but now people say he is 1 of the Most Important Players in our Team.

Aish could do very similar thing

He is class that the Team needs lot more of

He's got class and is a nice user of the footy, but what I'm liking is that he's prepared to put his body on the line. Seems to be finding his feet, hopefully he can use a stronger finish to the season to setup 2017.

I just don't see it in him.

You just go way too long without seeing him to the point you forget he's even playing. He does some nice things now and then, but ultimately has no impact.

Poor disposal can be improved upon (see Adams, Taylor). Strength in the contest can be improved upon.

Actually getting to where the football is? I'm not sure if that can be improved on especially if endurance isn't the issue, which I don't think it is. He just doesn't know how to read the play at all and I don't know how you learn that.

I say he been played bit out of Postion.

Playing him more a Midfield and you would see him way more.

Natural Improvement like Getting Stronger and a Bigger Tank

Howe had quite a number on Friday, as well. For which team did Aish record his?
