James Aish
James Aish (born 8 November 1995) is a former professional Australian rules football player who played with the Brisbane Lions, Collingwood Football Club and Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
He is the son of former Norwood midfielder Andrew Aish, the nephew of 1981 Magarey Medallist Michael Aish and the grandson of former Norwood captain Peter Aish.
Aish broke a South Australian National Football League (SANFL) record by becoming the youngest Norwood player in 134 years to debut at league level. He was 16 on his SANFL debut at Norwood and played in SANFL premierships in both 2012 and 2013. Aish received Under 18 All-Australian honours in both 2012 and 2013.
Aish was drafted by the Brisbane Lions with their first selection and 7th overall in the 2013 AFL draft. He made his debut in the opening round of the 2014 AFL season against Hawthorn where he collected 17 disposals. He collected a season-high 25 disposals (including 12 contested), laid four tackles and kicked a goal in Round 6 against St Kilda, which not only helped the Lions secure their first win of the season, but also earned him a Rising Star nomination.
He went on to play in all but one of the team's 21 senior matches (he was rested from the Lions' Round 14 clash against Fremantle in Perth) and collected 20 or more disposals on nine occasions. Aish ranked 6th at the club in total disposals (370), 4th in marks (94), 5th in tackles (77), and 7th in clearances (43). He finished fourth in the NAB AFL Rising Star award – behind Lions teammate Lewis Taylor who was awarded the Ron Evans Medal – and finished ninth in his maiden Merrett–Murray Medal count.
In October 2015, he was traded to Collingwood.
He was traded to Fremantle at the conclusion of the 2019 AFL season. Aish's first season at Fremantle was during the COVID-19 affected 2020 AFL season, which saw only 17 games played instead of 21. Aish finished the season having played all but one game. Although traditionally a midfielder before joining Fremantle, Aish's versatility meant he often spent time rotating between the wing, midfield and defence.
Round 16 of the 2022 AFL season saw Aish collect 29 disposals and kick 2 goals during Fremantle's 8-point win over Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium.
