Re: Gary Ablett

Gia would not be able to keep up with him for pace and would struggle physically one on one.

Agree. Gia is a better link man down the wing/through the middle than a shut down player.

Griff. Ablett would have to compromise his attacking insticts to syop Griff hurting them going the other way, he is comfortable on a back flank, he's done the job before and he's got the pace, mobility and strength to go with GAJ.



But the best method would be just to keep the ball away from him. This is where the midfield will have to work really, really hard to 1/keep possession and. 2/ make it impossible for Geelong to get a lot of clean possession and shoot it into space ahead of Ablett-that's where he kills sides.


Also Williams is super important. If he can get to the fall of the ball, and there's not many in the comp better than him at doing that, then Ablett just wont have the supply of loose abll gets that he usually racks up.

Re: Gary Ablett

I think Griffen would do an OK job, the key is to get on top of the other midfielders as they protect Ablett. If we get on top of Bartel, Corey, and Selwood they will have to focus more so on their opponents and won't be able to help Ablett out as much.

Re: Gary Ablett

Our midfield is as good as Geelongs, let Geelong worry about ours and not us worry about them.
If we are getting the ball out of the centre obviously Jnr isnt getting it. He is no problem then.

Sometimes i think we can get to negative on our own players because of the old culture that USED to be there,my thinking is we wont win a premiership worrying about tagging opposition players because that means you will always be second to the ball and also admitting you dont think your good enough.
AFL football nowadays is about players knowing not thinking they are the best, we are the highest scoring club because we believe we can outscore anyone, remember we have only been outscored once this year.
As i said %&$# Geelong let them see what its like to chase us and try and tag us.
A bit hard for Gary to be an influence if we have the ball.

He'll be back in september and we'll have the same problem.
