There are a plenty of reasons why Aish wouldn't have extended his contract.Nah he'll be all class, Simon Black sort of class, but unfortunately it won't be with us.
Pickers will trundle out his bs early next year saying his undecided and is going to wait till the end of the year, but Lions fans should rest easy as he really enjoys it in Brisbane and his happy to be there. That is until his contract runs out and his on the first plane back to Adelaide.
Pickers went to Adelaide to talk to Aish and his folks only recently if the decision was to stay a Lion they would have signed a contract extension then and there, they have made the choice to go home, now Pickers will play it out and do what he does best, get his clients where they want to be on great deals.
We might get lucky and Adelaide has a poor year which will net us a good pick which we can they on trade to pick up another good player in his early 20's who fills a need.
Happy to be wrong on this but we have seen it all before and Pickers is a master at it.
1. More money if he holds out
2. He really isn't sure
3. Wants to assess what his options in SA would be
And there are more
Everyone was worried Paparone wouldn't extend his contract and he did. If Aish doesn't extend so be it. We'll get a top 10 pick as you said.
