**** Ablett.

Great player, but a tosser of a bloke.

It's a terrible move on Geelongs part, they'll likely have to part with a decent trade to get him back, no guarantees on his body and he's a loner with no leadership qualities.

Will likely break down just when they need him most.

If his previous years' salaries have been proportionately higher, will GC look for a salary reimbursement from Geelong for the difference between his average and whatever he'd be on next year? If not, that's bloody cheeky of the bloke.

I imagine he'd suddenly have this burst of energy being back at the Cattery amongst the adoring fans who seem to overlook his general floggishness.

Yep, for all the shit Ablett has caused down there I hope they only let him go for a reasonable haul.
I hope so too. I have no doubt he has been pulling a wells for the last 2 years (only wanting to play if 100% fit). Could be the difference for them next year. I hope they get a decent pick or force him to retire

I would be interested to know what cut the AFL gets from all of this? Might give us a clearer indication of why the AFL wanted him to stay at Richmond.
