WILL the out-of-contract James Aish stay with the Brisbane Lions or will he go?
It's one of the biggest questions hanging over the club's head entering 2015, but the man himself says he's in no rush to make a decision.
The 19-year-old from South Australia had a super first season and the Lions are desperate to sign him up long-term.
Every week and month that ticks by with no signature, the club and its supporters get a little more nervous.
Aish comes from South Australian football royalty. He is the son of former Norwood midfielder Andrew, the nephew of 1981 Magarey medalist Michael, and the grandson of former Redlegs skipper Peter.
The lure to return 'home' must be a strong one.
And while negotiations with the Lions are tentatively underway, Aish says there's no need to rush things just yet.
"I'm not too worried about putting a deadline on it," Aish told AFL.com.au.
"In my head, I've got a year to go, so I'm not too worried. I'm looking to have a big year and hoping the team can do as well as possible.
"I'm really excited about the team.
"I can see how the public could perceive it and they want something done, but I'm not too stressed out at the moment."
Not only has Aish found a home in the exciting young midfield, but Lions supporters can take heart that he has immersed himself in the Brisbane community.
Earlier this year he teamed up with AFLQ to visit multicultural schools, share his story and expose the children to the sport he loves.
It was Aish's initiative and something he will continue in 2015.
He's also starting a university degree – a bachelor of business and bachelor of applied science - and jokes it could take him 10 years to complete.
"I found the first 12 months in Brisbane pretty easy," Aish said.
"It was an easy adjustment. It's a cruisy lifestyle, which is good."
He is unassuming and well liked around the playing group and believes the wheel is turning for the club's fortunes.
He says the addition of Dayne Beams, Allen Christensen and Mitch Robinson brings extra excitement and has already made him work harder.
"The midfield's going to be strong and it's going to be hard to get a game and keep your spot," he said.
"We've got premiership players, 100-game players, people to learn off.
"As we start doing more football-simulated training it will be really good to learn how they actually play, little crafts they can bring.
"It'll definitely make competition for spots tough, and that can only be a good thing.
"The important thing I'll be working on is that I'm doing everything I can, not taking shortcuts.
"I've nowhere near made it at the level. I've got to make sure I'm trying to improve every week and every session, and that's all I can do."
There's one more thing Lions hierarchy and supporters wish he would do, but with almost 12 months still up his sleeve, that's going to have to wait.
