With Graham gone.....

[catfan29]

With Graham gone, does this mean that we are more likely to see Nathan Ablett play next year?

geez, u geelong fans are amazing. your coach has said he wont be rushed at all and said he wont play till 2007. i doubt he'll play any AFL footy next year.

When did he say that he couldnt play until 2007? he'll be 21 then!

 

[JUBJUB]

Shouldn't this be in the Geelong section of Bigfooty ?

i heard him say it at the press conference.

i heard him say it at the press conference.

That's funny because I didn't hear that.

 

[mulhollanddrive]

Then you dont follow your team close enough, he said he wont play next year, and then went on to say it would be 2007 when he would be expected to play.

Mate, unless Nathan is made captain and given legend status at the club next year, I for one, will be ripping up my membership card and spitting it in the face of Brian Cook.

well im almost certain. i dont think it would magically enter my head. i dont really care when nathan plays afl..

 

[Infamy]

He did say that they would be taking their time with him
Due to the nature of his attitude to the game they know they need to be careful with him and not push him too quickly as he may walk out.
Most kpp take longer to be ready for AFL than midfielders anyway so I think 2007 is reasonable

Orange said the coach made those comments,not Nathan.

Would you really want to draft a player that is so mentally fragile?

 

[rampantswan]

I am worried now that a Richmond supporter thinks one of our draftees is mentally fragile, as they are the experts in that field (RICHO). Didn't the big O leave because of their negative and fragile attitude.

Go Cats.

 

[WestCat]

Would you really want to draft a player that is so mentally fragile?

Since when is someone who doesn't like media attention all of a sudden mentally fragile? His former coach said he is a hard trainer and very focussed footballer. He is not metally fragile, he just doesn't like media attention. Scarlett is the same, is he mentally fragile too?

 

[skywalk750]

He said he would be eased in and most likely wont play until 2007.

He also stated, which you kindly decided to leave out, somthing along the lines of footy is a funny game you never know

 

[skywalk750]

Also, he will weigh about 90kg so its possible to see him during wizard cup

 

[Tweak Talent]

I thought the club might play him in the wizard cup and get some of the hype out of the way

 

[hotdogandsauce]

god play the damn kid and get it over with, the attention is gonna be there whether he plays next year or the year after just because of his name...
