News OFFICIAL: Gary Ablett traded to Geelong

[Daniel McL]

Was told today again that Ablett is 'definitely' coming back.

Sounds good, I'm still intrigued and worried about what we are giving to get him :/

Won't be much. My guess is Horlin-Smith and a swap of late picks.

So what's the go with the story about the playing group deciding?

Is it fluff, or a 'done' deal and they just get to decide how much?

I'm good with that.
My issue is contract and who we squeeze out (hopefully no-one) to pay for him.
I assume we are also likely to get Smith (all that I'm hearing is he wants to come home) and outside chance at Hopper.

Theres a difference between coming back to Geelong to live close to family and and coming back to Geelong to play footy, personally i see the latter as to hard to manufacture. Who is this source your getting your info from and how reliable is it?

The bottle of red in the cupboard.

Sounds about right to me, better get those voices in your head checked out before they start telling you that Chris Scott is the best coach in the league

 

[Turbocat]

So the player decide? Im not sure if this good or bad to be honest. I have a fear about inmates and asylums etc but don't consult and you really could be throwing a flashbang into a playing group.. It just seems so much easier not do it ..unless Ablett come at a ridiculous bargain. Its not our issue its between GC and Gary.

Why didn't anyone warn geelong_crazy26 of this?

When does this have to be sorted by?

 

[Selwood_14]

When does this have to be sorted by?

It'll be sorted by 4pm on the first day of the trade period

 

[Willo_]

When does this have to be sorted by?

the last minute of the trade period is probably a likely time frame... unless Cochrane is completely removed from the process

They will have nutted this out well in advance and come to an agreement before the trade period opens, just not 'officially'.

I actually think that as well

I just couldn't resist a swipe at Cochrane

 

[Turbocat]

When does this have to be sorted by?

If it not done in the first 2 or 3 days ...it will probably be hanging around till the last day with a couple hours to go before we know for sure that its dead in the water.

Id agree that both clubs will have basically felt each other out on where the deal line is... if there is some sort of ..we will do it for this agreement then it could be like Danger and done very early d1

 

[Grimoz]

It will be done at the end of GC's game Saturday night when Gaz announces his retirement without much fuss or fanfair.

"Little Master Retires After Being Burnt By Suns"

I was thinking "Ablett hamstrung , pulls pin after missing numerous games"

If it's done at all it will be done at the last minute with us throwing picks neither club will use.

Not a chance in hell.

When was the last deal Geelong did in the last minute?

If its not done an hour or two before ..I doubt it will be done.

I wouldnt count it out, if he isnt getting the answer he wants from the suns then its goodnight.
