Re: Ablett GC Chatter
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe there is another reason.
If I had my coach on my back, week after week, making snide comments about me, because I haven't signed a contract as early as Round 5 (when the coach didn't rate my 38-possession game), I would say "You know what, Bomber, you want me to sign now? Well, because you are carrying on like such a baby about it, I will make you wait longer now. I was going to sign midseason, but you have been impatienty and criticised me, despite the number of games I have best on ground for your club, you can sweat on it now, and wait until the end of the season, when my current contract is ACTUALLY up. I will do it in MY time, not yours".
Besides, I find it a bit hypocritical that Bomber wants Gary Ablett to make a committment to Geelong, when he hasn't done so himself past 2011. If Bomber agreed to keep coaching Geelong until 2013-2014, he may have a point (as in, he has re-committed, so he can expect Ablett to as well). Unless Bomber commits past his next contract, how can he expect his players to?
Bomber should shut his mouth. If Ablett HASN'T made a decision, then he is making it for him. Why does Bomber want to drive Ablett from the club? Maybe I should start calling him Gary Ayres.
If I had a choice of keeping Ablett or Bomber, I would choose Ablett. Because if Gary re-signed, he may be there for another four or five years, whereas Thompson is pulling the pin after next year. So Ablett is the more long-term prospect.
i agree. i've been skeptical all along that Gary is leaving, but if he has in fact put negotiations on hold until then end of the year then i think its a given he is going. there is no way, no way, he would put it off until the end of the year unless he had decided he was leaving. there is nothing to be gained by putting it off until then for geelong, its a lot easier for him to walk in the off season. i hope hutchy is wrong, which wouldnt be a first, but if its true i think we should be starting to prepare for life after ablett. i dont want him to go, but its obvious by this move - if its true - that he doesnt want to stay.
