Round 2 Discussion

[TheOz]

GAJ hasn't laid a tackle yet this season, has averaged 5.5 per game as a Gold Coast player.

I haven't seen Ablett like this ever. Something is up big time... I know he missed a few months of footy and fecked his shoulder but still...

Nowhere near it! May contemplate moving at this rate

He left shoulder is hanging low. Favouring it clearly.

 

[Jiska]

14 disposals, 1 goal, 46 points

5 disposals, 1 goal less than last week, less than half the score.

CD WHERE IS THE LOVE??

 

[HTPunter]

****ing Buddy Franklin.

3/4's through round 1 he looked like he'd be primed to pick up early just before his sweet back half of the season as he works his way into the season. Then he started getting his hands on the footy, scored 90 and on track for about that again.

More importantly, he knocked out Parker who was on track for 120, and then is only on 24 at H/T this week.

**** you Lance, **** you.

They've targeted him too tonight, has had his shoulder tested out a fair few times.

It's pretty crazy that he is even playing. Unless it's proper done and that's how it is now. I.e. won't get any better...

 

[GOAUS!]

GAJ is done. There goes my best laid plans.

Thank God I had the Bonts Fonz Gonz! I mean the bassist from Queens of the Stone Age.

Yeah I am cutting and running. He's a liability to GC at the moment

GC has deeper problems than him.

 

[TheOz]

Malceski has had a mare.

 

[Jiska]

Bluey McKenna said to say hello..

 

[HTPunter]

They can't win without Ablett on fire. It's not his fault. Copping an unbelievably hard tag, means he isn't as much of a liability defensively as it seems in my opinion.

 

[manboob]

Bluey McKenna said to say hello..

Meh he was just as bad as Eade IMO. Neither were/are going to get the Suns to the finals.

In hindsight getting Ablett may have been the worst thing for the club's development, if not getting him, the over reliance that the game plan had on him. You think they would have learnt from Geelong in that regard.

 

[Double the Fist]

Glad I was warned off GAJ. Surprised as hell he played round one.

Rediculously stupid to play again. Really, is it worth ****ing your shoulder up for life when you already have that much fame and fortune?

GC are a rabble.

I don't think there's any implication for his shoulder long-term - he's been given the all clear in terms of healing.

It'd just be very sore and not a whole lot of voluntary movement I expect - when he gets tackled and it gets moved past the 'painful' area, it'd hurt like buggery for a long while I reckon BUT that doesn't mean there's a risk his shoulder will be stuffed in my opinion.

 

[Goats]

 

[GOAUS!]

Hopefully GAJ doesn't play next round. Would allow me an extra week to do a trade.

 

[Chappycats]

Harley Bennell is a lazy, downhill skiing fu€|<ing squib! I'm not going to trade him because I promised myself not to trade guys I picked as keepers this year unless injured or until I've upgraded rookies!

 

[HTPunter]

Hawthorn v Gold Coast will be enjoyable.

 

[GOAUS!]

Hawthorn v Gold Coast will be enjoyable.

Will need a content warning beforehand.

 

[Double the Fist]

Holy shit...
St Kilda is kicking at 85 per cent efficiency for the quarter. Gold Coast is kicking at 33 per cent efficiency.

If he rips that anchor out, back to the drawing board and he'll be sore for a long looong time after. Not to mention out for six months.

WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING ABLETT?!?!
