Nathan Ablett anyone?

[TheClokes]

I think he has nominated......

 

[Shade]

deadset do we make a thread for every dude that gets delisted

dawson
ablett

hell ive even heard nason

NO

 

[robertg22]

You have got to be kidding. He wouldn't even be an asset to our VFL side.

 

[mattys123]

So there's another Nathan Ablett?

Because the one who played (if you can call it that) at the Suns the past two years wouldn't get a game for our VFL side, even if we had a VFL reserves team.

So, NO.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Couldn't get a game for the Suns soooo no.

 

[Beary17]

If your recruiting for a club in the bush then yeah he might be worth a look

 

[Collingwoodity]

Yes. Premiership player. Get him in.

Its always a good idea to recruit somebody who wants to play football.

 

[Swooop]

Its always a good idea to recruit somebody who wants to play football.

This seems the most salient point in this case.

 

[MarkT2]

Honestly, I can't believe this is a serious ask? The bloke played in a flag somehow and walked away. He got drafted to a club where not giving a crap still didn't rule him out yet he didn't make it there. Even with his brother as the captain and star player he got chopped. How would he go under Nathan Buckley? Even if he could play he wouldn't last 5 minutes.

 

[stui magpie]

IF (and given history that's a massive IF) the penny has dropped and he's willing to put in the hard work, I'd much prefer to give him a rookie spot than a number of the other people mentioned.

He always had more natural ability than big brother, but never got his head around what was required application and commitment wise.

 

[Go Pies!!!!!]

Water Boy for the VFL team

 

[DermiesLuvChild]

Ahh...let me think about th...NOOOOO!

 

[si tacuisses]

Lol wat




Sorry, but that was literally the first and last thought through my brain upon seeing that question. I'd sooner draft Eddie, at least he'd want it.

 

[the_champ_2004]

Are we trying to recruit Garry?

 

[Metal Guru]

what about bringing him in as a rookie.

 

[MarkT2]

He always had more natural ability than big brother

I have never seen a shred of evidence to support that and Bill Brownless talking about a single mark he saw on video prior to Geelong listing him doesn't count.

 

[scruffydog]

Lol, oh you guys...

 

[Slax]

what about bringing him in as a rookie.

Any club drafting him is wasting a pick. He was lazy at Geelong and lazy at GC. Yes he has enormous talent, but he has no work ethic and even Gary couldn't get that into him.

That said, would be more than happy to see you guys draft, one less player on your list we need to worry about.

 

[Pie eyed]

Even Property Officers have to show up.
No thanks.

 

[10571z]

LOL


That is all.

 

[Puddy]

toxic attitude. Doesnt matter if he can play or not because he doesnt give a shit. Had his chance and didnt want it.

 

[Markfs]

Its always a good idea to recruit somebody who wants to play football.

Evidently if you draft Nathan, you get Gary the following year...

It upsets me that Nathan's contributions are underestimated by so many. Far too many lazy thinkers rely too heavily on simple statistics like possessions, kicking efficiency, tackles and inside 50s to measure the worth of the man. What is ignored is the significant contributions he has made to the occupy movement. With all due respect to the commitment of the protesters, it takes little talent to occupy a piece of cement. However, to stubbornly occupy a list spot at two AFL clubs deserves respect. It puts him into the same league as the great Ben Kinnear.
