Question: Can you tell us how Justin Clarke is going on the field? I remember when he started the recruiters said he was quite raw but everyone has been really impressed with him this year in the twos. What do you think? The next Nigel Lappin?
Justin Clarke is a real classy player. I’ve watched him a couple of times and he’s playing down back and becoming a pretty good player. I think surely you’ll see him in the seniors next year.

Question: Which of your teammates is the biggest mummy’s boy?
Patrick Karnezis is a mummy’s boy, he wishes she was there to cook him dinner and make his bed. Also Josh Drummond is a big mummy’s boy. He’s a bit soft.

Question: Don’t seem to see you in the paper or on the news all that much - do not do many interviews? Tom Rockliff is everywhere, he obviously loves it!
No, that’s right - you don’t see me too much in the papers, I don’t really like to put myself in front of the cameras. You always see Tom Rockliff because there’s not too many famous people from Benalla and he wants to be the first to get a big billboard up in Benalla. That’s why we call him a Benalla-head. He loves it.

Question: Hi Ash, sorry to see you injured but hopefully you’ll be back bigger and better next year. Any plans for the off season?
Not much. Probably go back to Perth for a couple of weeks. But other than that, I’ve got a handful of weddings here in Brisbane so I’ll be forever getting my suit dry-cleaned.

Question: Hey Ash. Sorry about your injury, you're such a handy player. I've been really wanting to know how to 'stab kick' (low trajectory, High penatration). I can do it efficiently over 20-35 metres but can't keep it low any further. Thanks.
It comes down to technique and practice. If you can do it over 20-35 metres, I’d actually be happy with that. You don’t really need to do it any further.

Question: Are we going to see you on footy fix now that you’re out for the season?
I didn’t realise that 'Footy Fix' show was still going - do people actually watch that? That’s a no from me. I don’t watch it - those two boys are ridiculous.

Question: Do you guys go and watch the reserves games on the weekend? Can we come and ask for an autograph if we see you or are you concentrating?
Yeah, we go down and watch the Reserves play. They’re in the finals this year and we’re not, so we’ll be down there a fair bit watching. You can definitely come up and ask us for an autograph, we don’t mind.
That’s it for another year guys! This season has flown past. Thanks for all your questions - I always have a good laugh reading some of them. See you next year!
