I'll be the first to admit i really doubted the lad when he first came to us. I thought he was to clumbsy and offered nothing in attack and his defence was average at best. But now he is starting yo play very well and almost now becoming a key player with his versatitly. When does his contract end?

End of Next Year

He's got a new 1yr deal and bluey describes him as the "glue" that holds everything together!!

He was castigated by many when he was playing centre and don't get me wrong i myself have mentioned his "form" in the past but he really is maturing into a very good player and his versatility is a bonus.

Some of us stuck by him from the start and saw his potential.

you dont get the grand final rings he already has by being no good , he is a typical no nonsense player or rather unsung as jjb was for a while

That's bollox. Nathan Mcavoy and Ricky Bibey both have medals. Doesn't make them good players.

G1 would beg to differ

Schofield was a world class player but he won next to nothing. Doesn't make him a bad player. Likewise, winning medals doesnt make you a good player.



That's why sweatysock was talking s[ihi[/ite.

I have had my reservations about Ablett – thought he could be a liability at times and defensively could be a bit slack but (especially the latter half of this season) he’s really matured into a solid, no-nonsense player.

Hes had a great season for us and his versitility has been fully noted all season imo.

Am I alome in thinking Ablett played a blinder last night ? There were three 'gentlemen' in our colours stood behind me shouting that he was a richardedward . Obviously they do not appreciate how hard it is out here and have never set foot on a field of play .

Agreed ablett Is awesome and has been a key part of this team since 07!! his performance of the bench in 07 was top notch, getting through a ton of hard work along with kirkie!! This was never more clear than his 07 gf performance which was an oustanding example of pure graft off the bench!!
