Gary Ablett Snr Troubled

[joe joe]

I have a friend who lives next to Ricky Nixon in Port Melbourne and apparently Ablett Snr moved in about 8 weeks ago for 2 reasons.

1. Nixon was looking at organising a "Tell All" interview something Gaz has rarely done in his career which would get him out of a deep hole that he is apparently in and a bucket load of coin for the pair.

2. He has just come out of a 3 month Drug rehabilitation stay to overcome his problem with illicit drugs.

Ablett had been spotted down Bay st multiple times acting strange thinking random people at cafe's or in the Supermarket were a spy and he even apparently was spotted with his ear to the door of my mates apartment trying to listen in as he thought my friend was a spy...

I wonder why this sort of stuff is never reported in the media? Is it because he is a football god? A lot of people know about his problems and if it was any C or D grade footballer it would be all over the papers but because it's Gary nothing is said about it.

It was reported in the paper that the two were spotted in a lane way fight which, reports from my mate via Nixon was Gary was apparently smashing things in the house and urinating in areas other then a toilet.

hes a private citizen, and no current ties to any club

if the guy is struggling, let him handle his demons without the media glaze

 

[ManWithNoName]

I see this thread having a long life.

Why should it be in the media? Whose business is it? He's no longer in the AFL system. Leave him be. This is gutter raking at its finest.

 

[Despair]

Gary does drugs :O

nothing public loves more than a fallen hero. if there's substance behind the story media would run with it in a heart beat.

Moral of the story?

Don't knock around with this bloke…

Because, as we all know, if there's one thing that both the media and the general public lacks, it's an appetite for schadenfreude.

I'm actually quite certain if a story could be built around Ablett Snr then there is no way that any media outlet wouldn't run it. But everyone knows he has personal problems and thats about the size of it, nothing more to it really, no media necessary because there is nothing new to tell.

 

[Rusty22]

lol

 

[the harry]

It's hardly news. Even when he was straight and playing footy he couldn't pay his own bills or look after himself. 20 years on and not much has changed.

 

[Carlo]

How does he need coin his son is a billionaire.

Well cats do that if not house trained

 

[hellboy1975]

Presuming Gary is a recovering drug addict, I would have thought the last thing he should do is move in with a dickhead like Ricky Nixon. There's got to be a better way to sell your story than that...

 

[Copernicus]

Greatest footballer to strap on a boot, shit bloke.

 

[Klaus]

A better idea for him would be to move in with Tony Lockett. They could reminisce about the glory days while listening to Nirvana.

Sounds like someone's been on the goey for too damn long. That shit will make you crazy

He is a bad unit. Always has been. That's why Allan Jeans didn't want to know about him.

Gee, he could play, but what a loser

[brad cooper]

Should have moved in with Ben cousins instead.

 

[Kram]

The bloke is just a complete flog.

Why? Because a) What purpose would it serve? b) Is Ablett not entitled to privacy, c) We all know he has been a troubled individual over the years, and d) Its been almost 20 years since he played football, so its hardly relevant.

 

[Rod Stroker]

It's interesting (in a good way) that Gaz Jnr hasn't been affected by it all over the years and seems to have turned out quite normal.

Raised by his mum a lot of the time and saw Dad sparingly over the journey.

Just hope Snr gets it straight, or at least straighter….

Go Catters

So is that why an injunction was sought?

Agreed, no good can come from this thread and I urge the mods to close it. I can just imagine the stupid comments that will follow.
