Gary Ablett Snr interview coming up on 3AW

[bresker]

What's the difference between the miners selling their story and Gary Ablett doing the same?

 

[ciaobella]

How about an apology for a start?

To my knowledge, Ablett has offered absolutely nothing by way of an apology to the young girl's family, surely the first thing any decent human being would do. The family who's young daughter would probably still be alive had Ablett made a simple (and anonymous even) phone call, and placed the value of her life above a potentially trivial possession & useage charge/ negative press.

As for the "broken shell of a man, penniless...", I'll save my sympathy for the Horan family thanks.

Exactly the type of response you'd expect from a Hawthorn supporter. Supporters of one of the biggest thugs in VFL/AFL history. Say no more.

The price. One's worth $2.5 mil, t'other less than $20,000.00.

 

[LongBomb]

I remember the herald sun stalked him while he was being treated for depression.

There was a grubby front page photo of him looking rather sad and pathetic with the headline:

Hero in
Hiding

He should Bartlettize them.
Cut them off and never have anything to do with them again.

It was naive of him to think asking about the price of his dvd would not end in tears.

Ah yes...I see the correlation.

He made a mistake, which will most likely hound him for the rest of his life and affect other people. Therefore the media should leave it alone and leave these people out of the spotlight

How do you think the family of the girl feels, every 6-12 months or so its brought up in the media. Its an absolute disgrace

Caroline Wilson is a pathetic excuse for a journalist. Nothing she writes is taken seriously by important people. Shes covering her lack of football knowledge to get on her high horse and preach, like she is some sort of saint.

And this isnt the first time shes done it, plenty of ppl have incurred her wrath.

Journalists who are employed to write about football should write about FOOTBALL, not take moral high grounds like their bloody perfect human beings.

 

[Bernie L]

How appropriate

scum interviewing scum

oh, very intelligent!!!.......back to minda home now!!!!

 

[jacross]

According to the book "Playing God", Ablett made a phonecall to I believe hotel reception requiring an ambulance. What were the sequence of events according to those who allege that he did not make a phone call?

 

[billybrownless16]

Channel Nine didn't take the high moral ground. I tried to negotiate a lower price. It didn't want to pay that much, that's all.

Eddie???

 

[Skerret]

Cripes, he's here!!? EEK!

and how often does this happen in all quarters of society? we all know the media are scum, but every time we mention caroline wilson's name then her exposure increases. surely we all know by now that journalistic integrity is a thing of the past? and many would argue than 'journalistic integrity' is an oxymoron...

can we not debate and gossip over these sorts of things on this forum? do it on msn or whatever.

 

[H Dolphin]

Eddie???

$2.5 mil and national exposure will attract him, a sub $20,000.00 deal without national exposure won't.

 

[spell_check]

Caro's opinion angered me...she is making it out as if the young girl who died because of a drug overdose was completly innocent.

It takes two to tango...she chose to take drugs.

I agree with you.

Same as Carey with the affair - he is not entirely to blame either - see the bold sentence.

 

[dart]

troll.

 

[Crosby87]

You know what I find funny... is that people judge Ablett for taking drugs... but...

If the people doing this only knew how many of their "heros" and "entertainment icons" were involved in drugs, they would cry for a week. Morons.

 

[chapmanmagic35]

it was actually you i guess that i was disagreeing with in the first place.

you posted: "she chose to take drugs"

i guess i took from that "served her right, she chose to take drugs"

if you didn't mean it like that. i'll dismount my high horse now.

Read my post properly...

And it is a statistical fact that most people on this board will try drugs at some point in their life.

 

[Macpie]

ablett's "media release" was a mistake. if anyone wants to do him a favour get him a minder to tell him when to zip it. this was one of those occassions.he was hopeless and tried to blame media for the fact that he has made a mess of his life.

 

[cats2rise]

There's only one other person in the media that sh|ts me as much as this bird and that's Mike Sheahan.

Caroline Wilson is a woman?? Judging by her picture in the paper....

what a stunning rebuttal! what a mind you have!

 

[cats2rise]

what a stunning rebuttal! what a mind you have!

Thank you, i had been thinking about that for an hour!

Nah, just replied to third post (i think it was) and just read through the whole thread.

The decision he made will haunt him for the rest of his life, we all are aware of that.

But the current issue is the $20 000. Now, if any other player had wont hat award who was in hospital for a reason, that would be paid straight away.... the question is, why not to him?

Was an absolute legend on the field, lets hope he can redeem himself off it!

Well as long as nobody else makes that statement without qualifying it.
