Question: Hi ash, is Pearce Hanley one of the more talkative players in the club? And is Claye often quiet? The other night Redcliffe got the visit of Pearce and Claye, and Pearce was very talkative and Claye otherwise.
Pearce is pretty talkative, but so is Beamsy really. I think it comes down to confidence - Pearce would have a few more club visits under his belt than Beamsy so is more confident. I’m sure once Claye tallies up a few more, you probably won’t be able to shut him up!

Question: Gday Ash, I have noticed the team seem to be aware of each ohter more this year. Does that come from training drills?
I think it comes down to preparation for the week’s game. Normally Mondays we do a review of the weekend’s game and then straight after that you start getting into opposition. A lot of homework goes into teams and that comes out in training drills as well.

Question: hey ash. what are the best 5 movies of all time you have watched? Thanks
Probably my number one is Life with Eddie Murphy. Me and Jared Brennan always text each other jokes from that movie. That’d be my favourite, but there’s too many more to name to just pick five.

Question: Hi Ash, we're missing you from the footy and wishing you a speedy recovery! Question: We were all excited when we learnt you had a baby boy Chase! Do you see him one day in the Lions' colours?
Thanks Mladen. Yes I was very excited. He’s growing so fast, he’s already out of his little clothes we first bought for him when he was born. Of course I would love for Chase to be into footy, but you’ve got to let the kids choose what they want when they’re young. Hopefully he falls in love with football! We’ll see how we go.

Question: Ash my family and i are disappointed we won't see you on the field again this year, you were really starting to play well. Me and my family go to every game and we watch the replays on TV when we get home. We have noticed that in person or on the field day you look quite fit and toned but when we see you on the TV you don't look as fit, can you explain? Thanks and best of luck with the recovery.
Geez thanks shmouser. They say the camera adds ten pounds. That’s all I’ve got to say about that one!

Question: Hey Ash, if you hadn't chosen footy as your career, what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Um, I don’t know! Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was play footy! I’d probably be working at Maccas or something like that.

Question: Hi Ash Do you still have the same passion for the game as when you were starting out?
Yeah, absolutely. When you’re younger, it’s all about falling in love with the game. When you get older, you just want to win another premiership! I’m definitely still got the passion for the game as I did when I was 16 or 17.

Question: Hi Ash, Hope you are recovering well!!! How much has Mark Harvey done to change the club and has he done a good or bad job.
Harvs has been real good for the Club. To have another coach that you can run things by, and one who’s had a senior job for so long is great.

Question: Which of the guys are roommates?
Well you’ve got Dumb and Dumber, which is Tom Rockliff and Jack Redden. Those two are thick as thieves. I reckon half the team live together, especially the younger boys. Leuey and Jordy Lisle are a new coupling this year, and also Richy and Rohan Bewick. Dayne Zorko and Aaron Cornelius are another pair. See, there’s too many, I’m losing track.
