Geelong great Gary Ablett junior says he is open to coming out of retirement and rejoining the Cats through the mid-season draft, in order to play in the finals

Excellent. Could this team get any slower?
Reeks of arrogance and narcissism.

He's "open" to coming out of retirement (if they plead with him and offer the right coin)
In order to play in the finals (who's to say they will make the finals? In order for you to play in the finals Gary? All about you is it? What about the club's wishes? The last memory of you playing in a final was your geriatric body crumbling under pressure).

Hope he can make it back and we play them in the finals. Our players showed unbelievable respect towards him in the granny, no one tested out his shoulder. Won't happen again, you will be hit with everything we have.

Not going to get a gig as there is no longer any room now that they have Sam Newman coming back.

Being the god bothering bible basher that he is - surely the little master should do the charitable christian thing and offer to play for north for nothing

Or take a salary and give it all to charity. Bet he won”t, though. I don’t understand why he wants to further tarnish his legacy.

Geelong dropping Jordan Clark and playing Issac Smith in the same role tells me everything I need to know about what the future holds For them. Smith taking up more salary cap & taking games away from Clark is criminal.

This is how a club loses developing talent.

It's criminal if we do it, it is a thing of beauty if the Cats do it.

They have young players? o_O
They have plenty of them running around in the magoos.
None of them are good enough to get a game in front of the pensioners, something about difficulties getting around the zimmer frames n past the gopher buggies.

Not sure TM.

A number of people on here rated him very highly before the Cats got him.

Checkside was one. She had big wraps on him IIRC.
Some could well have rated him Streak, it's obvious that even a fair handful of recruiters didn't overly rate him.
Pick 17 in his draft at age 21 after three years in the WAFL. Old Harry wound up punching out a seriously good career over the journey n full kudos to the Moggies recruiter for taking a mature ager so early in the draft, they're usually late picks or rookies with more a suck it n see perspective.

Fair enough. Checkside was keen to take him with our second pick I think, No.18 overall.

Taylor went at 17, then we picked up a spud at 18, Alex Rance.

You aren’t confusing the Geelong falcons with their reserves side are you? :))
