Nathan Ablett

[blue gunslinger]

Anyone think that a son of god just needs a change of scene and might do ok in our forward line?
He seems troubled but still can be a good target but not very versatile!

 

[Blue Dawn]

No thanks - wrong brother!

 

[DynamoUltra]

He would be good at Carlton, but if he wanted to play, it would be at Geelong.

 

[HBF]

Wouldn't have thought so. He clearly doesn't want to play AFL.

 

[blue gunslinger]

I don't know.Being the son of a legend, and the lesser brother in the team where they both have and do play makes that fishbowl thing kick in.Maybe being away from that might decrease the spotlight and let him settle down a bit.He is still big,mobile with reasonable hands and an OK kick.I would never swap someone like Waite for him but Nathan could be handy>the last thing we need but is a forward who's mind is not easy to focus!

Can't possibly see him leaving the Cats to go elsewhere. Clearly doesn't want to play AFL footy.

 

[Pie_squasher]

If he wasn't an Ablett wouldn't even be close to getting a senior call up at any club in the AFL. Overated and severely limited IMO......his borther would be a different story!!!

no thanks, no Ablett's.

If he doesnt want to play at Geelong, he doesnt want to play anywhere else either.

The kid obviously has talent. I'd take him in a heartbeat if he was available.

Remember Gary Snr left Hawthorn in much the same way. I think he'll be talked around - it's hard to argue with a $200k/year job in Geelong.

People in Geelong are happy with 2 beers and a chinese meal!

Doubt he'd go anywhere. He's a Geelong boy through and through. Can't see him doing anything of the sort to the Cats. They've been fantastic with him.

But not because of him!

The Geelong football club have done everything right, and for the right reasons in my honest opinion. They've given him everything he's wanted.

Others may see that differently, but thats my view.

Absolutely.I am just saying there were much more important players and reasons for their flag than N Ablett.I

Ok, its settled. You guys finish last again in 08 and pick him up in the PSD. He'll be set for 2009.

Fat chance buddy, Carlton is on the way up and you know it.

Nathan Ablett,was always the shy,leave me alone type kid,even before Geelong drafted him.
Rumour has it that when he was playing at torquay and found out that the cats had drafted him and the media turned up to see him and take a few shots,he delibreately played shocking footy and didn't want to know about AFL.
So for him to leave or retire is no surprise at all,After all i don't think he turned out to be as graet as all the type projected him to be ,gary his brother is far better player,but hey after all he retires with a premiership medallion around his neck,good on him,now Nathan your free to hit the piss and drugs matey.
