Surprised to see Aussie on the list, and Nathan Ablett??

Strange that.

Aussie didn't even front his surgeon after his ankle operation.

Can't see anyone wanting to draft someone with that attitude to his body.

Could he be a chance to be in the red and blue again, maybe as a rookie...again.

nathan ablett... no chance surely!

I'd like to see that, sentimental old bastard that I am.

No Newton? Maybe he has got the message finally. I wouldnt be surprised if we take Aussie as a rookie. But I guess its up to Mark.

I'd be surprised.

Very surprised by Aussie. Why didn't he contact the club? Unless we are going to rookie him.

nathan ablett... no chance surely!

A premiership player no less.

A big fall from grace.

Removed my post sorry. Figured it was probably more appropriate in the 36, 52 & 54 thread.

mate i play division 3 footy and nathan ablett would struggle there hes terrible, its amazing how a great side can [deleted] like a half decent footballer, perfect example collingwood and chris dawes, imagine no cloke and chris dawes one out...... on a great day against GWS at the G he'd be lucky to kick 3. So glad we got mitch clark and not that spud, id prefer fev then dawes....

Rubbish. You've got no idea.

I've played with Nath Ablett and he has all the talent in the world.

His problem is that he doesn't have an angry bone in his body.

He's just too nice a kid. No mean streak whatsoever.

I put it down to his old man becoming a born again Christian when Nay was really young.

Unfortunately to succeed in the AFL you need to have more than just a desire to play with your mates - you need an abnormal competitive drive.

This is what he lacks.

Surprised with Aussie after the perceived disinterest in reviving his career. I thought he blew his last chance with us. Is he going to be rookied by us or is there some interest from another club?

So being in a christian home makes you soft?

Geez, maybe thats why I'll never play AFL.

Poor shot at Newton. What was his offence? Did not make it at AFL level. Had a go at AFL but not good enough. Shame on the bloke.

Yet you entertain the thought of giving another chance to player who walked out on the Club and has been indifferent at fulfilling his obligations.

Like Nasher I would be surprised if we rookied him. I am surprised he nominated for the draft.

Can I ask what the story is with Brad Dick?

I suspect Aussie's manager has persuaded him to nominate on the basis that he has a change of heart and presents to the medical people and makes a serious attempt to get fit ahead of the rookie draft.

But time is running out!

To me it doesn't make sense. I really don't know what's going on but the Bruce scenario is starting to creep into my thinking. If we rookied him it will be inconsistent to the new approach that MN has been talking up.

Slim pickings - I reckon 2, maybe 3 players will get picked up from there.

Closest to the pin? I say 3.
