COLLINGWOOD'S desire to recruit Greater Western Sydney midfielder Adam Treloar has made the Magpies an unlikely destination for out-of-contract Brisbane Lion James Aish.

The Magpies have been linked with Aish since mid-year but insiders have admitted the club's capacity to recruit the 19-year-old has become difficult with Treloar likely to command a first-round pick and a future draft pick that may be in the second round.

The situation could change with Nathan Freeman requesting a trade on Wednesday, with his likely destination St Kilda, and running defender Paul Seedsman potentially on the trade table, but the odds of a deal being possible for Aish to join the Magpies are lengthening.

Freeman's manager Paul Connors told SEN on Thursday morning the Magpies were not after Aish when explaining that midfield depth may have been a factor in Freeman's decision.

"Don't forget, Collingwood has got Treloar, they've got (Jack) Crisp, they've got (Levi) Greenwood, they're not even chasing Aish because they think they're probably OK in the position," he said.

Aish is yet to inform the Brisbane Lions of his intentions for 2016 and has been acting as though he may remain at the club, attending post-season functions and picking up his post-season training plan.

The club remains in the dark as to his intentions but are not overly hopeful he will stay given he is yet to re-sign.

Several list managers at clubs other than Collingwood have suggested to AFL.com.au that Aish's actions indicate he may be interested in joining one of the remaining finalists.

Carlton also expressed interest in the midfielder during the season with a club delegation reportedly meeting Aish.

The South Australian has played 32 games with the Lions since the club chose him with selection No.7 in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft.

This is what I heard a couple of days ago.. from said manager who thought Aish would end up at the Hawks

In other words, he's a Lewis- Could play inside, but will probably hover like a seagull over a chip

Not really...They are coming from opposite spectrum's
Lewis was a grunt midfielder that had to develop his outside game, Aish is more outside and has to develop his inside game.

Aish is no slouch though when its his turn to go and win the hardball.......he'll go.

From what I've seen not quick but correct?

Read that article on the AFL website.

tbh, i'd rather Hawthorn use our 1st rounder on someone like Bennell.
I don't think Hawthorn would go mad over Dangerfield as his kicking skills are average, and at the price he'll come at.

 

[WaverleyWiz]

Interesting that Dangerfield is still yet to categorically nominate the Cats.

 

[dipper86]

From what I've seen not quick but correct?

He's no Rioli or Dangerfield....he'd be above average.

He can but I think he is best playing in the centre square alonside bigger bodied players like Langford and Howe (going forward) who can pop a handball to him so he can deliver the ball forward. Can win his own ball also.

Prototype inside/out footballer.. Has got a good frame now, looks like he has muscled up. Lacks some pace but not Mitchell/Dal Santo slow, definitely has comparable foot skills to the both of them, to be fair he would be one of the best kicks in the league. He would thrive in our program!

I've said this before but my little cousin played all under 18s/Vic etc with JOR and after the BHH game on the weekend he has a chat. The difference between our program and GWS's is incomparable, JOR needed this year to understand and adapt to the Hawthorn way.

Aish coming would be huge, throw in the fact we have JOR then we would have pulled off the number 2 pick from 2012 draft and number 7 from 2013 draft. That's huge! We are in great shape for the future and the much anticipated fall from grace will have to be re-thought lol.

Above average, thats about where you need to be for the modern game.

Will you be selling the video, Bumps?

Don't know about the video but was starting to come across as online grooming.

 

[macdaddio]

Apparently the Cats are after James Sicily....???????

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Back on tread now guys.
Aish has had issues with his shoulders as a youngster, does he tackle and pressure?

 

[threesixpio]

Nah for mine he marks it better than Gibbo and can take off at times like Birch, also has the ability to read the intercept. He to me is the reason Lake has been left hanging, remember we committed to upgrade him as other clubs were circling.

Sounds like an everyone replacement

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Interesting that Dangerfield is still yet to categorically nominate the Cats.

Not really. By the AFL rules he's not permitted to nominate a particular club until the free agency meat market period opens after the grand final. People are reading too much into the fact he hasn't specifically nominated a club.

 

[MrPremiership]

zero chance of happening

 

[dipper86]

Is that a different set of rules to the trade period where the likes of Treloar Freeman have already nominated their clubs.

 

[dipper86]

Thats ok.....it will cost you Dangerfield, straight swap.

No but he carrels like a beast!!!

Seriously, hard to tell with such a small sample size but this is positive:

Ranked 2nd among rising stars in Total Tackles in 2014

Hands awf

I personally think he is loving the attention. If anything he took his game to a new level under the microscope this year.

 

[MrPremiership]

Harley nominated Freo

They'll have their work cut out for them in trade week Freo! McCarthy and Bennell.....

Sauce?
What happened to Wells being the prized recruiter who could draft a team of stars? Be lucky to have a draft pick in the next two years with all the linked players to the Cats.
