If they’re genuinely trying to build a culture they would’ve jettisoned him then, there’d be an argument to make that he’s been one of their biggest problems.
Lol news that Ablett wanted to return to Geelong. This club is a disaster. Does anybody want to play for Gold Coast?
The players who didn’t ask to be traded and those that re-signed their contracts?
Doesn’t leave very many players then
They lost:
O’Meara (who hasn’t played for two years)
Prestia
They gained:
Hanley
Lyons
Witts
Ablett enquired if he might be traded but was told no and that was that.
Not really the end of the world everything thinks it is.
The two outs are two of their young guns. Two of the ins are someone who left Brisbane but didn’t want to leave the state and the other couldn’t even get a game in front of a guy who picked up a football for the first time 6 months ago.
They have good picks now, hopefully for their sake these guys stick around and they can build something.
there’s also a rumor floating around that Swallow is looking at having a surgery on his knee done that hasn’t ever been performed on an elite athlete (ie career basically over).
if this is true, combined with Ablett, they are well and truly rooted
i struggle to name any GC players apart from ablett, swallow, lynch and that skinny kid who was meant to be the best player ever but has done bugger all
