I think he can. He's still one of the best in the game. Put him on that team and they go to the next level. This allows Danger to play FF more.

Not sure he would have been worth 62 points tonight.

I think he can. At his best there are only potentially 3 players currently better than him. IMO he could still kick 40+ as a small forward whilst gathering 20 plus touches. Geelong need a small forward desperately (amongst other things)

GAJ is cooked. As old as hodge, judd, Mitchell and ball, he has had his time and will cause geelong consistency problems next year when he's missing every 3rd game.
I sincerely hope the cats pick him up

Putting your faith in a 33 year old to improve you by 10 goals.

His thread history is a goldmine.

I can see GAJ playing for another 4 years, potentially in the forward pocket rather than in the engine room
33 is a great age for a messiah, but not for a footballer.

Greatest player of all time who is still a top 5 mid when fit.
If he plays every game, Geelong are significantly improved.

Your argument is made irrefutable by the use of the word 'gonna'.
Nobody said that.
And it's undeniable that when fit GAJ is a fantastic asset for any team.

All your footy views are null and void when you think Ablett is the greatest player of all time.
He'll run out, opening bounce, get tackled, shoulder blows out again, career over.
Stringer/Dangerfield rotating between midfield and full forward would frighten a lot of teams.
But the Cats have plenty of issues.
The backline just lost Lonergan and Mackie. So Taylor goes to full back now and he's 31 and not really a lock down defender anyway, I'm not sure if he's got more than 1 year left. Tuohy, Henderson, Bews, T Stewart is a good start but you need more quality than that to make a strong backline. Is Zach Guthrie ready for a full season already? Who else can they get in, Parfitt to play as a small defender?
Midfield is certainly still very good. Duncan stepped up to be number 3. Menegola number 4. Mixing in Ablett and Stringer would help with the depth.
Forward line is a big question mark. They get Stringer and Gaz and it helps but if they replace Menzel and Motlop it's not that big of an upgrade and if they play along side those guys then the question of defensive pressure will be magnified. Hawkins has to adapt to play up the ground more. Buzza probably gets first crack as the 2nd tall. And they'll need the run of injuries to Cockatoo, McCarthy etc to stop so they can lock down spots.
