Hammy. Shower.
There we go.
You have real evidence? Or this thread will be locked.
Sorry buddy. Yes i do.
Bugger. Bugger. Bugger.
..... bugger.
I am relying on either Rounds, Jacobs, or Hibberd to play.
what a girl guide... he's scared Geelong will tear shreds off him and geelong fans will boo him... running away....
I dont even have him in my DT, but wanted to see him get torn up.
This means geelong mids will have an even easier time, Captain choices SJ, Chap or Bartel
apparently only should miss one week. dont know whether to believe that or not tho.
where did you hear this ham?
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/120061/default.aspx
'gary ablett says he hopes to be right for last four games of season', 'Mckenna says that he believes ablett will only miss one week'. i hope he does only miss one but i dont know how certain they both sound, tough decision comin up this week before lockout. to trade or not too...
FMDT Thanks Gary u goat !
now the '7 premium mids' strategy really comes into play with body and ablett both missing form many teams this week.
haha, well, I thought the suns could keep the losing score in a decent margin, now, I doubt it lol.

The 7 mids would be great now. Is GAJ just scared of Geelong? Or is he really injured.
injured. He played geelong earlier this year.

Thought so. The website said he didn't play last time.
thank god i have bartel on for boyd now just got to either move a forward or back to my mids to cover ablett and still have an emergency and figure out who to play on field.
Him and Boyd out this week but i lucky i got cover :)
i am over the moon that his not playing, dont have him.
I have him but I'm not that annoyed. My league match is meaningless so I'd rather him miss this week than in the first week of the finals. Still wish he was playing thought. :(

Was just about to say the same thing.
Guys that have him, think of the positives, at least he misses a week and gets prepared for the last 4 matches, finals. He could've been so eager to play and pulled a bad hammy which would've sidelined him and thrown all plans out the window.
Meh, I play I.Smith. ;)
Will Coad get a call up? His not on the injury list anymore but then on the DT site it has the band aid & saying...."Injured. Out for Season....."
Another reason why I have yet to bring in GAJ...the burden of carrying the whole team was bound to catch up with him sooner or later. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see GAJ again this year :P
Dammit Gazz. You're still a truly beaituful man don't worry :)
Mids are two premiums down this week (in Gazz and Boyd) so Mzungu and Isaac Smith to cover :)
great news for my team
gahhh... ablett, boyd and maybe hodge. might have to field richardson if hodge is out. :S
Do I rely on Ben Jacobs for cover or should I use my second last trade to bring in a DPP to swap I. Smith into the mids?

Well...?
wait for teams
Very sensible answer :) However, I will likely be asking the same question when teams are announced... Haha
Not too sure why people are surprised/annoyed when Ablett misses a game through injury. He usually only plays his 19-20 games a year anyway, you have to pick him knowing that! Also playing for a team that isn't in the race for finals he could me shut down during the last couple of games if his hammy isn't right and told to rest up for next year.
a little annoying GAJ
I am hoping they have called it a Hammy instead of general soreness so he doesnt get grief for not travelling to Geelong
Wont worry me this week as my team is well inside top4 of leagues.
Good luck this week
Meh, thanks Tendai. 8)

Grrr. I don't have Tendai. I had to play Duigan and I have a feeling he won't score as highly...
tendai 8)
with boyd ablett and prestia out he gave me a wonderful score
Cheers MzunguN.

Absolute gun. Him and Krak have been invaluable as backups recently... just when we needed them too. Very glad I kept both.
Krak -> Didak in round 4. Up there as worst trade of the season??
hey i did a.swallow to ablett when he was 470k. i have only got 2 scores over 100 in return, a 23 and a rest week where i had to cop a 60.
also traded out jack redden after having him from round 3. i thought he had peaked and traded him to boyd....now wish i had traded rischitelli or shiels and not redden aaaarrrrrrgggghhh

Ouch, I was very tempted to do the very same trade (at that price too). Will probably pay off in the finals though... (tempted to do that trade next round, but its looking less important now I have Gram as my 7th mid/8th back), and certainly not as bad as...

Double ouch!
Traded Redden>Boyd & A>Swallow>Gablett? Chasing last weeks points? ???
At least GAJ will be back to his best for the final games. He carves up the Crows and he's had a break so expect big scores from him.
It was purely and simply a rest for Gaz. He'll be ready to carve Crows next week.

Don't GC play Brisbane next week, not Adelaide? Geelong play Adelaide so maybe you were getting confused. :P
ABLETT CAPTAIN THIS WEEK :)Big game :)

I went Broughton to hibberd and Krak to Jroo at the completion of round 4... then Jroo to didak at like round 11 ... then didak to O'Keefe after he stopped scoring 110's... And that is why my year sucked haha
Also not getting Petrie or heppel or adcock or libba etc didn't help either...

We all make mistakes, Foregiveness is next to Godliness haha its been a long year.
Is anyone thinking of putting Gazza as captain this week against the Lions and coming of a weeks rest?
Locked for me. Raines is a decent tagger but not in the league of Clint jones and Liam picken (who Gazza has tonned up on before.)
May not play this week anyway

yes I saw that too, not overly impressed. he didnt cost me anything this week even though I had boyd and sylvia out too, but if he misses this week he will have to go......
Ooooooooo. I thought when two of my toughest league opponents got God (see left) my season was over. But should Ablett miss this week, i might still have one trump card still to come :|

ablett just tweeted he got through the main session and his hamstring felt good. :)

Great news..he'll play!!
Never doubted the beautiful man.
awesome news!
gold coast in with a chance!
Good news all round today with Higgins expected aswell.
Great news about Gaz. He could well be the difference in my first final as it will pretty much be Ablett v Hodge in my match up as the rest of my opponent's midfield is the same as mine.
is ablett over hs injury enough to bring in this week?
I say sure. At his price he's a bargain. But i believe his BE isn't reachable and he'll drop again if your willing to wait a week.
He is no certain starter for this week from what I am hearing
Great News

That article was from Wednesday.
lets be honest....im not sure he was ever injured.
BUT, he would be certain to start. Passed fitness test on the hammy earlier in the week and reported it on twitter. Return, my perrenial captain
hope he smashes it had to choose to play him or montagna who score 132 on my pine
