Gary Ablett will re-sign with Geelong.

[carlton09]

GARY Ablett will sign with Geelong, putting club loyalty ahead of a huge offer from the Gold Coast, according to his former manager.
Michael Baker, who orchestrated Ablett's last deal in 2005, is certain personal reasons will sway the champion onballer to stay with the Cats.

Good news for the cats, but does that mean GC will target another superstar?

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

Article is misleading - its only Baker's opinion, and as far as I am aware he's now estranged from the entire Ablett family after parting with them on less than amicable terms. Ablett's future is still up in the air, until we hear from Geelong, Liam Pickering or Ablett himself.

If this happens, it just means the Gold Coast will shift their eyes to Selwood.

 

[BlueTouchPaper]

Yeah, what a horrible article. It actually says nothing, from anyone relevant.

 

[budge11]

according to his former manager.

Sweet.

 

[vonn]

Wow this articule is bullllllllllllllllllllll.

Can't help but wonder if somehow this article is designed to put pressure on him to stay at Geelong?

This article was designed to promote Ablett's former manager's new business.

I still don't think Gaz is GC's actual target.

He's a useful mechanism, though.

Dirty on the headline on this article.
Gives false hope.

Selwood wont go.

Selwood wont go.

No one ever thinks anyone will go.

You will have no say in the matter.

Will pretend to be a 7 year old kid and send $5 in the mail to guilt trip them. Worked with a few others!

 

[didak04]

Terribly misleading headline.

Article does nothing at all to suggest that he wont leave. Absolute garbage.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I was reading this morning, waiting for the part where it said that Ablett had spoken recently to the source of the article...But it didn't come.

Perhaps it's just about the vibe.

I believe 50c is the correct amount to use when guilt tripping football players to stay at a club.

Ablett wont go to the Goldy, I wish he would, but he is
next to no chance to leave.

As for Selwood, he no chance at all to leave.
Reading into Selwoods article the other week, suggests
that he is future is definately at Geelong.

Geelong seem like a tight knit unit, their success would reflect
as much, I dont think the Gold Coast will get their trophy
signing from Geelong.

 

[cosby]

What's this whisper circulating that he's already made up his mind to leave at the end of the year?

One of many I guess.

Did you draft this post on a typewriter?

Seriously, is this a poem?!

 

[NTRabbit]

It's about as accurate as all the articles from the likes of Caro and Hutchy telling us they guaranteed Tippett was going to the GC, it was just a matter of a few final details before pen was put to paper.

 

[Ruddeger07]

That's what you call a slow news day story.So Jay Clark rings Abletts former manager,who was sacked by Ablett,to get his thoughts.Next Jay will give Ricky Nixon a ring as he was Ablett seniors manager.

If you saw after last years grand final, Gary embrassed Ken Hinkley after the game. It seemed clear that they have a very close bond. Nathen being there and 3 times more money being offered, i think Geelong will find it hard to keep him. Lets hope he want to be a one team man. But my gut feeling is He`s gone

 

[Byron_Clanger]

i hope so, for Geelongs sake

NOtonlythat, but little sister is moving up there to live in 3 weeks time.Dad is also moving up there. He is going. Wait for it. Do you honestly think Geelong havent been putting their best offer to him for last 12 months? If he was staying, he would have resigned by now, as every gun player does a year out from contract end. He is going.

You will have no say in the matter.

I would be absolutely staggered if Selwood left. Ablett wouldn't surprise me so much.

Inflation is a killer.
