He's a NSW boy, isn't he?
I haven't heard much about him... what can you tell me? I've been trying to keep tabs on the NSW/ACT players in the comp...

Henry has been playing excellent footy at CHB in the VFL, but still can't get a senior game.
He's very versatile, can play CHB, CHF and is a good ruckman.
The perception amongst supporters is that he's been incredibly hard done by this year, definitely deserves a chance at the top level.

We live in hope that he'll get a senior game this year.

Hmm... wanna trade? :D A CHB! We could do with one of those!
Playfair for Buchanan and Ablett, the two Geelong boys who similarly can't get a crack in the seniors?
:)
Ablett's not a Geelong boy.

Didn't he play with Geelong Falcons? Or am I getting my wires crossed...?? I know that Buchanan did...
edit: Now that I look... he's from Drouin. D'oh.

You can keep Ablett, but i'd love Amon Buchanan.
He's just the type of player we need.

Done!
Now... all we need is to get the Swans and Cats footy departments to do their bits....:D

Er... yes.
It's doable... but you'll simply have to take Rowan Warfe and Matthew Nicks... it's not negotiable. Oh... and Gary Ablett Jnr is expected to be standing outside SCG gate 12 at 11:00am on Monday.

I was all excited, until the last sentence :D
Little Gary is worth more then the club itself right now, could be a marketing force in years to come.

Gary and Nathan would bring people along to our games, just to watch them play together... we just have to make sure we get Nathan down to Geelong.

well apparantly the rule is changing, so if Ablett does decide to join us, i'll be stoked

I wouldn't be surprised if Nathan opted to go elsewhere, he may prefer to go interstate to avoid being in the spotlight. Sydney would probably be ideal.

Nathan reportedly loves his family and mates, and loves living in Modewarre. He won't ever leave the area.
So it's Geelong or, um nothing.

And the idea of playing footy again with his older brother Gary, should convince Nathan to join the Cats.
In fact, I remember reading something in the footy record a couple of weeks ago where Gary Ablett said that one of the best things about his junior footy was playing alongside his younger brother.
