Ablett a protected species

[kalani]

is it just me or does Ablett never seem to het pinged for holding the ball etc????

Best way to find out is to go to a data base and compare Gabletts frees for and against with another player say, Goddard or Montagna and see what pops up. I tried but my computer chucked a hissy fit :(

[Justin Bieber]

Of course he is ::). But would compare him to a non brownlow medallist like the ones Bunyip suggested ;).

He did a few weeks ago a fair few times. Ran down be Peterson i think 2 or 3 times in one game :o.

[kalani]

yeh good player tho i hate him when it comes to him getting frees against

[mehaff17]

He's been sooking a bit lately! Wonder what thats all about.. All the pressure of the Gold Coast saga?

These are the stats from the AFL data base, make of them what you will.
Name                                Frees For          Frees Against
Dane Swan                              12                          6
Adam Cooney                          15                          8
Nick Del Santo                          17                          6
Gablett                                     10                         10

This is a RANDOM selection of players. I did not chose any for a particular reason

Make Ablett come off as a Good guy ;).

He's only got that many Frees against because he thinks he can break every tackle ::). Then he gets dragged down  ;D.

Very True. Unlike Juddy! Woo Hoo! :D ;D

[bunyip]

What the stats say to me is that Gablett is NOT favored by the umpies. ;D

[Fletch74]

The stats show that the Pies are treated favourably, which doesn't surprise me... ;D

15 For and 8 against according to the Geelong website, but then Enright was 4 for and 11 against on the AFL website??

[gerco]

16 and 7 for Joel Selwood according to the offical Dream Team site.

Interesting Gerco... DT is what we are basing our views on, so we'll take that view I suppose.

Ablett has missed a game though.
