Hey Ash, just wanted to ask you what kind of music is on your iPod or mp3 player? And who do you think is the most talented player who debuted this year?
Carly from Melbourne (VIC)

I’ve got all kinds of music from rap, rock to country. I like to listen to all sorts of music.

I couldn’t pick any one players out of the blokes that have debuted this season. They’ve all got good qualities and are all going alright.


Who is the most annoying person in the club, rumours tell me it's Todd Banfield, are they true?
Phillip from Melbourne (VIC)

Toddy Banfield isn’t the most annoying bloke at the Club, he’s the biggest thief I suppose. Todd is more known for coming in and using the Club’s washing machine to wash his clothes on our day off. It doesn’t really annoy me though. The most annoying bloke is Broc McCauley. You can’t just sit down and have lunch with him. He always has to ask a hundred questions. Most of the time you end up getting up to leave or just tune him out.


G'Day Ash, just wondering what a typical day's diet is for you? What kind of foods do you eat and how much? And what's your favourite indulgence food?
Josh from Byron Bay (NSW)

I used to have a pretty sloppy diet but over the years you learn what’s good for you and what’s bad for you. You tend to eat the good foods to keep your skinfolds down. My favourite indulgence food would probably be nachos every now and then with spicy mince.


Who do you think would cry if they had to have their head shaved?
Tyson from Benalla (VIC)

I’d have to say Mrs Brent Staker. He’d be devastated. Some of the boys went out with him the other week and it took him 30 minutes just to do his hair. He had to straighten it, then put some cream in, then straighten it again. I’d like to see how he’d go shaving his head.


Hey Ash, Unfortunate to hear about Drummo, do you reckon he'll have to retire soon if his streak of injuries continue?
Shae from Maryborough (QLD)

I don’t think Drummo would have to retire. Injuries just come with playing footy and it’ just unfortunate that he’s had a big of a bad run. He’ll get back soon and back to his old ways.


Hi Ash, I was just wondering whether you ever play AFL live on xbox or PS3? Is it weird seeing yourself on a game? Do you always put yourself FF so you can score heaps of goals? Who is the best at the game around the club?
Elisa from Melbourne (VIC)

Na I don’t actually have the game. I’ll have to check it out and come back to you!


Hey Ash, Just wanted to pick your brain for your thoughts on whole player management role, is it important who is representing you guys to approach contract time? Has this Nixon scandal changed any guidelines they go by? And secondly when is "capt.crash'nbash" Jamie Charman coming back?
Leigh from Sunshine Coast (QLD)

Hi Leigh. My manager is just there to do my contract when the time comes and if I need anything. The Ricky Nixon thing hasn’t changed anything for me. Jamie Charman - not sure when he’ll be back but it’s just good to have him round the Club.


Hey Ash, my girlfriends and I are HUGE Jack Redden fans! What do you reckon the chances are of Jack getting himself shirtless for a charity calendar?
Mel from Indooroopilly (QLD)

I’ll have to ask Jack for you. I must say though, he might have a cute face but the rig that he’s got under the shirt isn’t too flash. I’d ask him to keep his shirt on if I were you.


Hey Ash, Just wondering, are there any of the boys that still support another AFL club from their childhood, or does that all go out the window when you become a player? It must be pretty weird to come up against the side you grew up cheering for.
Steve from Tweed Heads (NSW)

I supported Melbourne and West Coast growing up. But when you get drafted you forget about all that. It’s not that weird coming up against a side that you grew up cheering for - you just have to get the job done.


Hi Ash, just read your last "Ooh Aah Ash McGrath" and saw you follow F1, who do you go for in that apart from Mark Webber?
Steve from Albury (NSW)

I don’t follow him at all. I’m a bit of a Lewis Hamilton fan so hopefully he can get over the big crybaby Webber.
