Re: N.Ablett having some time away
Sorry Rizzo you are usually spot on but I have to disagree with you on this one. Wasn't he part of the team that just won a premiership for the club? We may still have won the flag without him but his 34 goals were very handy. I think he's been good for the club as much as the club has been good for him.
Maybe he didn't tell the club before the draft because he hadn't reached a decision yet? We still have the rookie draft and pre-season draft to come so we can still draft someone or take Grima back to replace him in the list.
Nathan's break will give Hawkins and other guys more opportunities to compete for a spot in the team. I'd describe his action as unselfish because he knew he couldn't give total dedication to the job at hand.
If indeed this story is true i find it pretty ****ing selfish of him. He comes to the club and we look after him. Play him in games when his form has been shit. Keep him away from the media, and what does he do? After 3 years packs up his bags and pisses off? Give me a break.
If he was so serious about leaving he should have done the club justice and quit before the draft. At least then we would have been able to get something of value in the draft.
