Gary Snr - Interview

[dymot]

GFound this on youtube inadvertantly and thought it would be a good upload apologies if already done. The bits about whether naming his son Gary after him will be a burden and Ablett Jr saying he liked basketball better were the funniest IMO. Very ironic.

It makes me wonder how much longer he would have played for as he still dominated in patches in 96 with injury. Another case to say **** you Gary Ayres for wrecking it campaigner mother ****er ******.

Edit: Realised there is the other Senio thread so SJ or winty Pure_Ownage Turbocat feel free guys to merge if you feel that is appropriate.

Yeah I had that one on tape Without seeing it again it used to make me cringe a little bit, the stuff about society anyway, I suppose just compared to what we now know came shortly after. I imagine it would have been difficult coaching Geelong at the time, Gary coming to the end, rumours flying about his personal life...not that I have a lot of time for Ayres. But I think it was clear in 96 Gary was again having some off field troubles, Gary Ayres trying to change the culture of the side might not have helped, nor would being managed by Ricky Nixon probably in hindsight.

But Gary obviously could find a bit of trouble throughout his whole life, but probably found the worst of it before he started at Geelong, and at the very end of his career and beyond. And in the middle was a glorious career.
I must admit I struggled to watch the Cats for a while after Ablett retired, just looking for something to get excited about. Then along came Brett Spinks......

We are in an awkward time at present, a pre PAS, aka POST ABLETT SYNDROME.
Coping ok at present, and may be alleviated once we know there is a Gary the 3rd on the way.
