Ash will you make it to Fletch's (Dustin Fletcher) games record?
@6PRSportsToday via Twitter
No.

Ash, why did you hurt us so in 2013?
@GeelongCats via Twitter
I enjoy playing against Geelong – it just seems to bring the best out of me.??

Whose hands would you like the ball in on the siren if @brisbanelions were in the same situation this week?
@LionsDi via Twitter
Probably Joel Patfull. If you’ve ever seen him line-up for goal, he has the biggest ‘ghost eyes’. But while he might be scared of the goals, he always seems to put them through.

How long until you are fit to play Ash?
@BeavieLions via Twitter
It all depends if our Physio Shane Lemke does his job properly. Now that Richy’s hurt himself, I’ve been pushed back down to the bottom of the priority list.

It could be a while…

What is the rivalry really like between the various Lions TV shows? Eg, Footy Fix vs The Challenge? I'd think Jamie Charman would be following the YouTube hits most closely! (P.S. Ash, please never retire!)
Kate Gracey, Brisbane, QLD
I don’t really give the LIONS TV shows a look-in. I’m to busy concentrating on ‘Ooh Aah McGrath’ because I know it’s the most popular item on lions.com.au. And I’m enjoying being back!

Is Joel Patfull still single? Is there somewhere fans can put money on him staying single (my friends and I were going to have a small pool between us, but all of us think he'll be single for the rest of his life so it was sorta pointless)? What are the chances that he'll still be single at the end of 2014?
Stan V, Albion, QLD
Joel’s been single for a while, but is looking for love. So for all the single ladies out there, here it comes…his instagram page is ‘joelpat’. So give him a follow and I’m sure he’ll follow you back.

Hey Ash, do you expect to be available for selection by the New Zealand game against St Kilda on Anzac Day?
Bob Forrest, Wantirna South, VIC
If the Physios do their job, I’ll probably play Reserves that week.

Hey Ash, is there a chance that some of the boys at training could come over and greet some of the fans that come to watch the session? Hope you have a great season!
Scott Campbell, Brisbane, QLD
The boys will try and get over there. Normally the fans sit near the race and we see them as we come off the ground. So don’t be shy and call out our names and we’ll come down and see you too.

What are you planning on doing once your career finishes? Back to WA? Interested in Coaching?
Jon Miles, Perth, WA
I’ll see how I go, it depends on where the jobs are I suppose. I’m still waiting on that lotto ticket to come through, but coaching does interest me.

Hi Ash, could you give us a top 3 of the most self-centered lads and why?
Trevor Spaliaras, Melbourne, VIC
Tom Rockliff (because he’s Tom Rockliff), Sam Michael and Archie Smith – although I’m not going to say why.

Hey Ash just wondering do you know much about the guy that lives with Tommy Rockliff? Always see him at the dog park with Rocky’s little sausage dog?
Chris Ryan, Carindale, QLD
Yeah, the bloke that lives with Rocky, his name is Millsy. He thinks if he takes the dog down to the dog park that he will pick up the ladies.

But if you’ve ever seen Rocky’s dog, it actually looks like Rocky, so I think he’s going to have a hard time picking up the ladies. But good luck to him.

Hey Ash now you being a family man I was after some father advice.
My son is turning 18 in June and is very confident in both on and off the field (If you know what I mean). Any advice to keep him in check??
King Rabbit, Yeronga, QLD

My advice for your son would be to stay away from his dad, because I know what he’s like.

I’m sure he’ll get you to the Storey Bridge Hotel in no time and show you the ropes. There’s a reason why they call him the ‘King’.

How did it feel to kick the winning goal against Geelong last year?
Beau Richards, Coffs Harbour, NSW
It’s every boys dream to kick the goal to win the game for your team. It’s something that I’ll always remember and look back on fondly at the end of my career.

Hey Boonj - what are the chances of getting Big Jon in ABBA drag doing karaoke for charity during the bye? I know he is secretly a pawn to your will, perhaps you could make this happen?
Henry Elliott, Carina, QLD
We all know Browny loves to sing. I can probably get him down there to sing some AC/DC if that helps – but I doubt you’d be able to dress him up in drag.

Hey ash, how was pre season and when do you think you will be getting back on the footy field with the rest of the boys?
Charlie Saddle, Perth, WA
The pre-season went pretty well. I didn’t have too many hiccups except for the last training session before our first NAB Cup game when I hurt my calf.

I hope to be back on the footy field pretty soon.

Who is the next CHF long term for the Lions and who is the next ‘gun’ in the midfield?
Bazil Brigs, Gold Coast, QLD
I don’t know. There are a few boys pushing through for that forward spot. Browny’s going to be hard to replace.

As for the midfielder, I’d say Aishy. He’s proven so far this season that he can play AFL and will get more chances in the midfield soon.

Hey ash can you please name a few of the boys that are single?
Jessie Parker, Adelaide, SA
Joel Patfull is the main one – it all goes downhill from there. You’ve got Ryan Harwood, Josh Green and a few other young boys.

So if you’re looking, you’d best have a crack at Joel Patfull, because there’s a big gap between someone like him and Josh Green.

Will you play with your brother when you retire from the AFL?
Fred Irwin, Melbourne, VIC
It depends on which brother. If I returned to WA, I’d love to play with both my brothers back there in the country league. It would be nice to get back down there and make some money off them.

Who do u think is better, Tom Rockliff or Daniel Rich?
Andy Henderson, Melbourne, VIC
It all depends because as blokes they’re pretty much the same…pretty boring.

They’re obviously both pretty good at football, but if I had to take one of them, I’d probably take…Jack Redden.

Ash, who do you see stepping up as a forward this year or next. I also hear the next draft has plenty of kpp.
Dean Taylor, Melbourne, VIC
We’ve got Closey who’s played there for most of this season and Marco Paparone. They are probably the two most likely, so keep an eye out for them.

Ash, the spice has gone out of my relationship lately. Can you give me some advice on how to keep things fresh with my lovely spouse?
Stephen Craggan, Goonoo Goonoo, NSW
Probably my biggest tip is not to stuff up. But if you do, buy her a lot of flowers and take her to see the movie SHE wants to watch.

How would one go about becoming a lion WAG and who is currently available?
Aly Mac, Caloundra, QLD
I’ve answered this question before. How do you become a WAG? Just send Josh Green or Ryan Harwood a text – they’re looking for girlfriends and they’re probably the easiest ones to get hold of. So give them a ‘like’ on instagram or find them on Tinder.

Just wondering if Polks is still single & if so what's the best way to tell him you like him?
Lena Palmer, Aspley, QLD
No, unfortunately. After many years of being single, Polks has gone out and got himself a girlfriend, and she’s a lovely girl.

I think you’ve missed the boat with that one.

If you weren't Playing AFL what Job would of you have done?
Dylan Brathwaite, Eagleby, QLD
It’s scary to think what job I’d have if I wasn’t playing AFL.

I’m really into my politics, so I would have probably made my way to Canberra somehow and been fighting for the Greens.

Have you had any physics lessons from Mr Francis yet?
Lily R, Brisbane, QLD
No we haven’t had any physics lessons yet. Although I hear he’s been trying to teach Leuey and the ruckman at times. I’ll have to hit him up.
