Hey Ash, Just wondering if you could tell Toddy Banfield to change his boots. He spends more time on the ground than any other player I swear. Longer studs maybe? Cheers.
Anna from Clayfield (QLD)

I think it’s just because he runs so quick, the ground can’t keep up with him. I’ll pass it along Anna.


Hi Ash, is Daniel Rich attempting to grow a mullet like Dermot Brereton?
Jess from Brisbane (QLD)

Richy is just growing his hair like any surfer dude would. He wouldn’t even know who Dermot Brereton is, he’s that young. He’s one of these Generation Y kids coming through.


Hey Ash you guys are coming down to Tassie again this year to play the Hawks; the Hawks have a great record at Aurora, do you find that the Hawks are tougher to play down here? Is there a different approach needed cos of the climate etc..? Also on an unrelated subject are you concerned about the number of rangas coming into the side? is Vossy running some kind of hand up program for disadvantaged reds?
Dillon from Somerset (TAS)


Yeah, the Hawks do have a good record in Tassie. We have to be right on our game to beat them down there .

Vossy is getting a few rangas in isn’t he. They aren't doing too bad though.


Hey Ash, is there anyone in the group the boys tend to pick on. If yes.. who?
Tony from Wheelers Hill (VIC)

We pick on the ruckmen. Well not all of them, just Broc (McCauley) and Bart (McCulloch). We get into them a fair bit.


Do you like the move up forward? Do you know whether it’s going to be permanent?
Joe from Kooralbyn (QLD)

I do like the move up forward. It’s been good - don’t know whether it’s going to be permanent so I’ll just enjoy it while it’s lasting.


Hey Ash, Congratulations on the wins this season, I was wondering what type of car does Jonathan Brown drive?? Is it a nice one and who has the worst car at the club???
Caitlyn from Bell Park (VIC)

Big Jonathan Brown drives a pretty nice car. It’s a Toyota Prado I think. And in regards to the worst car, once again I have to pick on Bart McCulloch. On his first day at the Club he turned up in a gold BMW. I don’t know what was going on there.


Hi Ash, Think you are magnificent, as are all the boys, you are inspiring at the moment, when will we see Xavier Clarke on the field. Congratulations on the great win over the Crows.
Patricia from Melton (VIC)

Thanks Patricia. X has already come back through the Reserves but he should be back at full strength soon.


Hi Ash!! Is there anyway any Tassie supporters could meet you guys down here?? lions are playing great football at the moment by the way!!. GO LIONS.
Devon from Kimberley (TAS)

Hi Devon, definitely. Tassie supporters can see us when we have our training there. Keep an eye on the Club website for when we'll be there. It will most likely be the day before the game.


Hi please answer my question. I play rep footy for victoria, I play as a crumbing/defensive forward and I’m clinging on to my spot. How can I read the ball better and be a good crumbing/defensive forward?
Anonymous from Melbourne (VIC)

It all comes down to training mate and practising what you’re good at so if you keep training to read the ball off the hands you’ll come good over time.


Hi Ash I’ve noticed a lot of the Brisbane players have Facebook. If I added them as a friend would they accept me or do they like to have a bit of privacy?
Jack from Sunbury (VIC)

We all have Facebook but it’s there for our close friends and family so we don’t really just add anyone we don’t know. It's not like a competition over who can have the most friends. A lot of us come from interstate and it's a good way to keep in touch with our friends and family.
