Hey Ash, I was wondering how much longer Josh Drummond will be out for? Considering he was injured midway through last year. How long does an ACL take to heal up? Thanks.
Hodgey from Jan Juc (VIC)

Drummo played on the weekend in the Reserves and played pretty well. He’ll be in the seniors next week probably. A traditional ACL usually takes around 12 months to heal, but if you go with the LARS option it’s about 14-16 weeks. Drummo’s ACL actually healed up but he’s had a couple of little issues with his hip and quad this year so he’s been a bit unlucky.


Hey Ash, just wondering who your closest friend in the team is? Also, would you be interested in a coaching career after you retire?
Scott from Yamba (NSW)

I get along pretty well with everyone at the Club. I probably would be interested in coaching in the future but not at the high level, I think it would be good to coach at Colts back home in WA.


Hey Ash, was at the game against Melbourne, you guys played really well. The way you played with Browny & Staker back, do you think we could make the top 6 by the end of the season?
Dylan from Narre Warren South (VIC)

It was a tough game against Melbourne and felt like we should have won. I think we’re playing pretty well without Browny and Staker, but those two give us a good spine as a team. With them back in we should start getting the Ws against our name.


Hey Ash mate, please tell me we’re gonna win against the Gold Coast Suns? And another question, will Aaron Cornelius be the man in a couple of years?
Jimmy from Mooroolbark (VIC)

Yeah Jimmy we’ll beat the Gold Coast, hopefully. They played alright on the weekend and got their first win so it should be a good game - make sure you all come down and watch and cheer us on. It’s a Gold Coast home game so we really want a lot of Brisbane fans there to help us bring it home.

Ace is going along well so you might be right, we’ll see how he goes in the next couple of years.


Sup Ash, you guys almost broke the curse of the white shorts against Melbourne. My dad and I think you touched the ball and we were clearly robbed. GO Hard and GO Wild. P.S. Have you got any single boys for my sister.
Abby from Pacific Pines (QLD)

Hi Abby, hopefully we’ll break the curse of the white shorts this week. Jack Redden is a young single bloke but I’d warn your sister to stay well clear of him.


Hi Ash, How much does Jed Adcock Bench press?
Matt from Bundaberg (QLD)

Jed benches around 137.5. Most boys are around the 120 mark.


Hey Ash, Just wanted to say that you and the boys are doing an amazing job!!! Pity we lost by slight margins against Freo and the Demons. I was wondering why the forward line don't seem to go for goal but rather pass to someone else?
Kate from Belgrave (VIC)

Yeah they were tight games Kate but things just went against us. I’m not sure about the shots on goal thing, I thought the forwards did go for goal - but I’m sure if there was someone in a better position to take a shot you’d always pass it on.


Hi Ash, who is your favourite of the Assistant Coaches? Do you work with one more than the others?
Chris from Melbourne (VIC)

My favourite Assistant Coach is Adrian Fletcher. He’s like a young Charlie Sheen. I just love the way he talks, and he’s a bit of an artist. I spend the most time with Jade Rawlings - he’s my back line coach. I better say he’s one of my favourites because I want to get selected to play.


What do you eat before a game throughout the day?
Jared from Eight Mile Plains (QLD)

I start off with a bit of brekky in the morning and usually have a subway for lunch, followed by plenty of water and Powerade.
