As soon as I heard that the knee only showed slight swelling (Burst capillaries pffft) I knew that he was almost certain to play.

He'll play. How many times have I said this. Geez.

GARY ABLETT WILL NOT PLAY THIS WEEK!
Mark my words...anything that requires a jab, restrap and a half time sub will be enough to keep any high profile player out for 1 game.  Against Richmond and with no hopes of making the finals...GFC will not rush back their superstar

The debate is heating up!

I'm praying to the DT gods he doesn't... Hibberd as his 6th mid instead of Ablett? Yes please!

He'll play. So much positive stuff coming out about him. If you read the link I gave you McKenna siad 80-90 % sure he'll play.

Even at 90% he is still no guarantee he will play. I think he's becoming more likely as the week goes on. But until he runs out there is still a chance he won't play. However small that is.

I have Mzungu itching to play if Gazza can't, but I'd very much rather the little champ to be playing, especially seeing as my opponent doesn't have him.  That said, I still should win my league game with or without Gazza, but I do like to keep an eye on my overall score too, so Gazza will certainly help with that.

You do realise he is named at half forward and not the middle/follower...classic coaches move when a player is set for a late withdrawal.  ;)

I bloody hope so! Or at least it'll mean he's less likely to crack 175 :P

With Hibberd out my opponent will cop a doughnut if he doesn't play... mmmm doughnut! I might actually be in with a chance...

If your so sure he will be a late withdrawal why would GC bother to take him up with them? Trained well yesterday & is good to go.

Ouch. Sorry to hear it mate. I'm just being selfish and hoping I can scab a win this week somehow.
