Hi 2020... Gary Ablett was right to go, ten million dollars for 5 years, he has to look at his future, there is no loyalty in any sport be it soccer, Oz rules, rugby, basketball, you name it, a player might have ten good years to earn money from his sport, that's if he doesn't have a career ending injury that so many do in this fast contact game of ours..
Clubs can get rid of a player when it suits them like Footscray and Brisbane both did with Akermanis who was a great player...Good Luck to Ablett, Judd did the same thing, he was, and still is a champion and moved from West Coast to Carlton..and by the way beat Ablett this season in winning the Brownlow for fairest and best player of the season, remember Garry Ablett Senior played for Hawthorn before he went to Geelong, and you have lived in Oz 2020, never mind the ten million dollars, where would you rather live and play? Geelong or the Gold Coast in Queensland with no winter to speak of, and swimming in the surf year round, (Gary Ablett is a Surfer) on and miles and miles of the best beaches in the world, an easy choice to make, I go up to the Gold cost every southern winter as most of us retired folks from Mebourne do. love the place............
Jack..
