[Bring back Drum]

Ha ha ha

 

[Sweetback]

Too bad the saints didn’t check withBen King about what he wanted to do before making plans to sign him.

 

[Joao]

I am actually baffled by Lethlains decision to publicly comment on Ben at all beyond the standard "he's a conctracted player bla bla".

 

[Nodgey]

With Aish can we finally see Blakely released into the midfieldmonce and for all?

 

[Arcassius]

Aish looks very vanilla stats wise. Low disposal efficiency for a defender

 

[Hazelsnuts]

Ha ha ha

Ooh shit......there really is a god and a Santa Claus!!!!

 

[Lach72]

If the Saints offer 12 and next year's first I'd bite their arm off.

I reckon they are a monty for bottom four next year

 

[Taylor]

Pick #6 - 2011 - Conca - 2018
Pick #7 - 2013 - Aish - 2019

Pick #8 - 2015 - Ah Chee - 2020?

 

[ImperialPurple]

No Bing at Saints put plenty of WayneKings.

Quite a few Mike Hunts too I would imagine.

 

[wahooo]

Love that King has resigned.

Perhaps a pretty unrealistic thought but would love if Geelong swooping in over the weekend pushes the price up a bit

Rumour going round we are signing Eliud Kipchoge as a Cat B to play on a wing. #canrun

 

[Righteo]

My worry about Aish is that apart from the injury history he's quite slow, not really ideal for a winger. Not a terrible player at the right price but not sure I'd want to part with a future 2nd

Can't see us playing him on the wing personally. Think he joins our backline and allows Cerra/Conca/Blakely/SHill to play midfield instead.

He's a defender these days.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Aish has officially nommed us

Quite amusing that the son of SA football royalty, who Adelaide were desperate for in his draft year, went to Brisbane, asked to be traded to a Melbourne club, will now end up in WA. Players are jumping off Adelaide like 3rd class passengers off the sinking Titanic. You'd have to wonder why the Crows weren't all over him like a cheap suit - even just for the 'feel good' nature of it all. Seems like it's welcome to Freo, Jimmy.

*its all good

I am happy for the right price as I think he is a decent player, but he isn't good enough to pot the Crows for not signing him.

If anyone has some spare cash to invest the salt mine I've just setup on the Saints' board is doing very well.

I'm well aware, but there's a few posters who seem to want him as a winger. If he was any good as a winger he probably would have been playing there ahead of Mayne. The only role he can play is as an unaccountable defender, I just don't see the appeal considering he's slow and his disposal isn't exactly what you'd call outstanding.

That said, if Jlo rates him then that's good enough for me.

 

[yyou]

I don't think he's what we are looking for.
Small & slight, without express speed.
OK skills, but IMO if we were to improve our defense it would be with speed & skill. The tall options are fine.

I’m not, he’s a bona fide amateur, look at the way he goes about his business.

We've been saying that for the last three years lol

Not saying HE would pot the Crows, but they need something feel good, and having an Aish at their club might be just the tonic for a club sinking almost as fast as Shit Kilda. But Qld, Vic, WA for "their" boy just strikes me as amusing - Aish's talent (or lack thereof) aside.

I'd say this was going to be the case with the addition of Longmuir. Hopefully.
