Hey Ash. Do you live with anyone from the Lions?
James from South Morang (VIC)

No, I don’t. I live with my girlfriend.

I used to live with Jonathan Brown when I was a bit younger and that was an experience.

I also used to frequent Sword Street a fair bit.

Hi Ash. Do any of you guys watch American Chopper on Foxtel?
Aayden from Carrum Downs (VIC)

Not sure Aayden. But I think most of the guys are into ‘Man vs Wild’ and ‘Deadliest Catch’ at the moment.

G'day Ash. I have heard a few of the boys at the Club are big fans of English Football. Which players are the biggest followers at the Club? It is hard being a Lions fan over here, but keep up the good work and good luck for the rest of the season.
Kevin from Newcastle (ENGLAND)


Justin Sherman and Luke Power are probably the biggest soccer fans at the Club.

Shermo knows just about every player and is the resident expert when it comes to soccer. Although he is also a fair ship-jumper because he seems to just follow whoever is going well at the time.

As a Lions member in Perth, I just wanted to know whether the boys have any changes in their training week when they come to play at Subiaco? Also, can you please beat the Eagles in round 19 for me?!
Daryl from Lynwood (WA)

No, we don’t change our training much when we travel to Perth.

We generally head over there maybe a day earlier than usual, but we still only have the one main training session.

As for beating the Eagles, we’ll certainly do our best for you.

Hi there Ash! Can you tell me how Sean Yoshiura is coming along so far? Any chance of the Lions making history with the debut of the first Japanese-born player in AFL?
Jeremy from Hamilton (QLD)

Yeah, Yoshi is going well in the Reserves.

As long as he keeps eating his Shark Fin soup, then I think he could be a chance to play seniors one day.

I think Todd Banfield has had an awesome year but he never gets mentioned much in the AFL shows. Do you think the Brisbane Lions players don’t get enough credit because they are a Brisbane team?
Adam from Redcliffe (QLD)

Yeah, it’s sometimes hard up here because we’re competing pretty heavily with the two rugby codes.

Sometimes that means that our guys are kept out of the spotlight - which is something some of the boys up here actually enjoy.

‘Sup Ash. Do any of the boys ever play tricks on Vossy or each other when you go away? Like short-sheet each others beds or put honey in their shampoo?
Tilly from Brisbane (QLD)

There’s not a lot of that stuff going on, although there is this one old bloke named Barry who is the Team Manager and I get stuck into him sometimes.

I like to order breakfast to his room at 5am in the morning and hide his false teeth when they fall out of his mouth.

Do you know when Jamie Charman is returning to the game?
John from Stapylton (QLD)

Unfortunately Charmo went under the knife last week and has been ruled out for the season. His ankle had obviously been giving him some problems this year. 

Hopefully we see him back out on the park sooner rather than later.
