How can you put a hip injury down to Davoren. That is ridiculous.

Which Smith is in tier 4? The one who plays for us is tier 2, pushing tier 1. He's a decent kick (not a Fasolo or a Pendlebury, but solid and generally reliable) but more to the point he has the knack of finding a spare second to steady and do something sensible with the ball. (Last week he had a bad day. First one in a very long time. Don't judge him on that, look at the totality of his performance for us in this, his first year.
When Smith gets it, you can relax. Nine times out of ten he does something unspectacular and sensible with it, which is all you want. He doesn't do the spectacularly clever pin-point pass no-one else even saw the way Leon used to all day long and our very best current ball users (Pendlebury, Fasolo, Sidebottom if he doesn't buggerise round wasting time and chipping it backwards the way he used to) do, Smith just plays good, positive football, getting to a teammate closer to goal. That's more than enough, and way more than some of our disposal butchers in the back half do.
Aish is young yet, but his disposal is a delight to watch. Very much looking forward to seeing his development over the next couple of years.

Welcome to Collingwood James Aish
I remember in 2007 Paul Medhurst against Fremantle on a Friday night copped a heavy knock before handballing off to a Pies teammate resulting in a Collingwood goal.
James Aish attack on the ball tonight in a 50:50 was huge in neutralizing an important contest at a vital time. This is exactly what his career needed. Full respect!

Agree. Was the best thing has done for the team. Shame it ended his night though. Would have been better if he got up and thumped Hodge in the mouth first if he knew his jaw was cracked and was gonna miss a month anyway. But either way, it was a significant moment and it probably gave us a spark.
