I thought there would have been more promotion if it were real.

Find it strange that Gaz answers questions with spelling mistakes...

Sounds a little fishy to me, however it would be great if it were real.

It's also quite pricey. I would not sign up until it gets a little more popular.

Can't find the video link.

God that's bad. There's a banner ad for his hair dresser, for crying out loud. And if that's not enough, there's a picture of him with his hair dresser too.

Where's the 'Gary's Hair Care' section?

Perhaps he could do a makeover on Cameron Ling's Paddle Pop Lion 'do and put the video up for his $100-a-year members to download.

Lame, lame, lame.

But good on him, if it nets some extra coin.

It's legit.

As Jim Boy mentioned, the domain is registered to his mananger and the site was mentioned in the papers some months ago, with quotes from his manager.

It's pretty sad, but he does have a big teenybopper fanbase so it might work.

Very strange, Gary is obviously a very interesting character. He's gone from keeping very quiet in his first year or so in the AFL, to this sought of stuff.

Check out Michael Baker's website - produced by the same mob.

http://www.michaelbakermanagement.com.au/AboutUs.asp

The Ablett surname is spelt wrong in 3 places FFS!

And people wonder why geelong has the hack country town reputation.
This stuff is amateurish in the extreme.
What do you mean? I can't find one place where the Abblett name is spelt incorrectly.

It's clear that he manages Gary Abblett Snr, Gary Abblett Jnr & Nathan Abblett.

It really is pathetic, both websites.

What has Michael Baker or his website got to do with the town of Geelong?

Baker Smith Management is based in a very nice area of St. Kilda Road.

According to the domain name's registration, the address of the Admin (Baker) is 10 O'Farrell Place in Geelong, although the orgnisational address for the site is 88 Nott St in Port Melbourne.

I was more thinking of the web design company responsible:

Sportznut now provides full web design services, from administering a League assigned web space to designing a full e-commerce solution. We specialize in the sporting industry including memorabilia, fuindraising and Sports Personality web sites.

For all enquries please either:

Visit our showroom at 63 Garden St East Geelong

Ahhhhhhhhhhahahahahah...

wait...wait....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahaha

Must...stop...laughing....nope...can't do it!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahahahah....

Lucky that page is as funny as it is terrible.

Best of luck getting a heap of 12yr old girls to sign up to the 'ablettiser'
I got no problem with it, really, it could be a handy little cash cow of sorts, but you won't get me paying for that!!!

I'm a web designer, and I always get all the text content supplied by clients, especially if I know nothing about the company, as it seems either Sportznut or the management company don't know too much about the Cats (did you see Ablett seniors number was '9' on the management site). I make sure the clients read any text I do myself (which is very rare) to make sure it's right - I'm no editor/writer. I must admit though, I do get text given to me by clients where I can see they've made mistakes and correct it myself. Surely Ablett's number is commonly knowledge, especially to any sportz nut ;) Giving the benefit of the doubt though, perhaps that management site is not final yet - they have no info for Hawkins, Capper or Carmen. Whoever found that site (the Baker one) how'd you find it? I couldn't get it in Google.

Tima, I work in the industry as well.

Really, any design agency worth their salt should have a content approval system in place.
At the very least a page should be reviewed by the client before going live.
It just looks amateurish misspelling the names of Baker's 2 most famous clients.

BTW, I found Baker's site linked from the gaz jnr site.
