Traded James Aish (2013-2015)

[Davemonkey]

The five mid-sized playmakers taken ahead of James Aish - Josh Kelly, Jack Billings, Marcus Bontompelli, Matthew Sharenberg and Kade Kolodjashnij - would want to be good. In two appearances Aish has shown he is all class in the middle. He has poise, awareness and more importantly the time to execute his skills.

Claye Beams returns after a knee reconstruction wiped out his 2013, while the club's past two first-round picks (South Australians Sam Mayes and James Aish) will also see plenty of game time.

Moloney had plenty of praise for both, saying they weren't just the "outside" players that many may have thought.

He said Aish was like a "sponge", always asking questions and absorbing more information.

"He'll play bits inside, he'll play bits on the wing. He's very clean inside. Everyone keeps saying he's an outside player, but I can see him being both."

I can't think of a recent draftee that the club has been this effusive and open in their praise of their attitude.

Midfielder James Aish caused excitement when the Lions picked him up with their first 2013 draft selection.

The 18-year-old has been working closely with club legend and assistant coach Simon Black in pre-season.

"A Brownlow (medal) would be nice," the captain joked.

"You want him to contribute in a way and be able to buy in to the game plan.

"That's all it is in your first couple of years, being able to get your role done and let the more experienced players worry about the structures and the game plans."

Yeah the last one I can think of would be Richy.

Rocky?

Rocky?

Not as a draftee.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

It is exciting, I really want to see him round 1. Cmon leppa give him a chance for the rising star. 22 games + finals

Rocky might have a direct replacment for the captaincy I think. Aish is miles ahead of any draftee that I can think of in terms of his media work.

Who do you think will win the 2014 NAB AFL Rising Star? (Nine captains correctly nominated Jaeger O’Meara in 2013)

Jack Martin (Gold Coast, 7 votes), James Aish (Brisbane Lions, 2), Jack Billings (St Kilda, 2), Joe Daniher (Essendon, 2), Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs, 1), Harry Cunningham (Sydney Swans, 1), Brodie Grundy (Collingwood, 1), Josh Kelly (GWS, 1), Luke McDonald (North Melbourne, 1).

Brisbane Lions look to extend James Aish contract before he plays a game
March 06, 2014

Brisbane general manager of football operations Dean Warren said Aish was an “outstanding young man” who had impressed club officials on and off the field over summer.

Warren said the club was not putting any pressure on Aish to sign and had just “let it be known” to his management that Brisbane were keen to lock in his services for at least another year.

Best for the Lions were top draft pick James Aish, who looks perfectly at home, and Justin Clarke in defence.

James Aish arrived in Brisbane after last year's national draft with two years of senior football for Norwood behind him. He looks ready to go, and the rest of Brisbane's draftees shouldn't be far behind him, with new coach Justin Leppitsch planning to give them all a run this year.

If predictions are your thing, Aish looks to be favoured by Inside Football scribes. Five out of 11 scribes back him for the Rising Star.

Yeah that first one would be because Holmesby is a big Saints fan. No room on the bottom for anyone's team.

Will be between Aish and Martin for the rising star. Just depends on how much impact each can have on their teams. Aish I think is more ready for senior footy, and might a but more consistent, but Martin has that x factor. Should be interesting to see how both go.

 

[Scubaveg]

Martin dislocated shoulder pretty much rules him out of rising star this year.

Aish will have to play very well to get the nomination ahead of Jonathan Patton for this week.

Weekly nomination doesnt matter, Aish will get one and will be in with a shot of winning.
