Interesting times ahead... If your mob want Aish you better pay up a decent price or else he goes to Carlton in PSD or Crows in ND. From Leigh's comments it sounds as though he absolutely hates Pies not sure why though considering he was arguably your best coach the past 20 years.

Leigh also said twice last year that if he had a son that was able to play for either Haw, Bris or Coll. He would advise him to play for Collingwood.

He also stated in 2015 that of all his Flags. The Collingwood one was probably the most special.

And then a week or so ago he said he hoped WCE beat Haw in the Grand Final.

Who understands Leigh Mathews? Not me.
 
Pies do their due diligence. Offer a trade, Bears say GTFO and we move on, keep a 2nd rounder up our sleeve and see Aish falls into our hands later on.
 
The Collingwood/Brisbane meet and chat will be interesting on Monday at Etihad.

Pies: So Aishy; what will it take?

Lions: Nothing. There will be no trade he'll
have to take chances in the draft.

Pies: Ok. So you're not interested in pick 14 that we will get off Sydney for packaging up an array of 2nd rounders?

Lions: Um, um, can we take back that thing about "no trade".

Pies: Yeah Nah we will just take him at that pick in the ND as the Crows have their sights set on Ryan Burton at pick 13.

Lions: Oh crap.

Pies: Soooooo, your 2nd rounder for Oxley then?

Amazes me Brisbane treat a former club captain in Adcock like shit yet lose their panties when Aish wants to leave, great things going on up North

No Wonder everyone wants to leave. It's a Shithole of a Club
 
Happy to respond to this bc I think in many ways you are putting forward some valid points.

The issue though where it falls over (at least in my mind) is that despite Dayne having a sick father he was adamant he wanted to go to Brisbane and nowhere else. I suspect you know Dayne family actually from the Coast so if the guy was trying to do the right thing by the club would or could have said, "hey I want to go back to QLD for family reasons but I am open to both and happy for you guys to try and strike a deal with either on the basis I can also get decent terms". He didn't say anything like that…….in fact he spoke with Brisbane exclusively through the year, accepted a massive offer and then told a club who had invested heavily in him (on and off the field…most notably 2010) that they had one choice but to deal. I think you can acknowledge Collingwoods investment in Dayne was much more significant than your in James.

Don't get me wrong I have empathy for your club with Aish just as I do with our and Freeman. But to my mind if a kid doesn't want to be there let them go and facilitate something back that helps. With respect your club needs that help. It is incredible to me that having asked the Commission for a Priority pick you would let a kid walk who may get you something v decent and fair back to just walk. I suspect you have done your dash with the Commission for a long time off the back of that and would be sure that point is being made to them.

At the end of the day a club has to create a culture and environment as does any work place to encourage their talent to stay. Lions were incredibly good at this but in the last 3-4 years have not done it well and they need to look inwardly. I know Craig and Mel and they will create that environment but the way your coach behaves has to be a part of the solution. Lions know that and thats why they got Craig and Mel up there.

As for Redden, I was more upset about losing Dayne than Freeman so am surprised you are the other way but I can understand that.

IF Aish doesn't come to Pies so be it. In many way be happier them chasing Jed Anderson who am a massive fan of. Carlton will gladly take him for nothing and you guys will come up short. It won't send any other message than 'gee when I get interviewed by the Lions for drafting I think I might just be careful about seeming to keen to go if I think I might want to come back at some stage'.

Just to be clear though, it is in everyones interest that the Pies pay something that is reasonable.
Can any club/supporters empathise with Bribane and their supporters? It'd be like Elliot, Freeman, Moore and a couple of other youngsters all leaving. It's crappy for them. And we can't just rely on academies... There will still be times when they need to draft kids from interstate.
 
There should be a gentleman's agreement for PSD amongst clubs, if player nominates team the they should get a free passage. Helps all teams? And we screw The Bears in the process?

Yeah, thats not gonna happen.

With first pick, Carlton would have every right to take whoever's available - and you reckon their fans would be pretty livid if they didn't take the best guy available.

That's fine, then build a culture which makes players want to stay. Brisbane started the rot themselves but ditching loyal long serving players like Bradshaw and first round picks while chasing Fevola. Last year they chased an in contract top 3-4 player from a rival club and forced that team to trade him and this year Brisbane exited an ex captain. They can't have it both ways

Perhaps I could pre Beams in a jolly mood.
Now? Nope. Yes to GWS and to a lesser extent GC to put it in perspective.

Bradshaw was finished as an AFL player. His knees were shot. Brisbane knew he wouldn't have lasted one year, let alone two so decided to cut their losses. You don't keep players on top salary that you know can't cut it at AFL level, regardless of what the have done at your club.

So Brisbane shopped a 31 year old with dodgy knees to Carlton? Don't get me wrong, **** Carlton but how stupid were they or how dishonest was Brisbane?
