Garry Ablett - Marquee Man

With one of Geelongs star premiership players, Garry Ablett, coming out of contract at the end of the 2010 season, AFL club-to-be, Gold Coast, to be included in the 2011 premiership season, have made it clear that Garry Ablett will be their number 1 man. Along with other players like Lance "Buddy" Franklin and Nick Reidwolt also coming out of contract, Gold Coast would love to poach these players. Fox Sports spoke with Graeme Downie who said "My view is you go for the best player," "Any club would love to have Gary Ablett, he is an amazing player. Everyone says how good his father was. I'd have Gary before his father." However, with all this in mind, Franklin has come out and said he has no intentions on leaving the Hawks, as he wants to be a one team man throughout his career. No comments have been made by Ablett as of yet, but with such a tradition of Abletts playing for Geelong, it would be hard to imagine he leave the club, especially being the power team they are these days.

Bomber to stay a Catter.

Geelongs premiership coach, Mark "Bomber" Thompson is just one of seven AFL coaches who come out of contract at the end of the season. However, Bomber and the club are in no hurry to cement an extension for Bomber has stated that he has no plans to leave the club. He has made it clear though, that he would like a committment before the end of the season, and when the club was asked if an offer would be put forward before round 22, Fox Sports qouted Cats Chief Executive, Brian Cook "Very much so". The club is comfortable that Bomber is comfortable in the position he is in, he's very laidback about it. If he was to agree to the offer tomorrow, it would be accepted from the clubs point of view, if he was to wait 2,3 or 4 months even, it would still be the same. He is likely to be offered a 2 year deal. With all this in mind Geelong are likely to be under the supervision of Bomber untill atleast 2011.

Steve Johnson gets Green-light.

Geelong all-australian star forward, Steve Johnson has been cleared by the AFL tribunal over an incident involving Hawthorns Luke Hodge. Steve was cited during the game after allegedley, trying to "strike" Luke, for being angry at him over an incident that happened moments before, involving team mate Matthew Stokes. The Cats could have pleaded guilty and received 45 points towards any future suspension, but with his impeccable record in previous seasons, they believed him when he said he was trying to brush Hodge off, and took it to the tribunal who also believed him. Fox Sports quote Steve Johnson to have said “I believe that if I had of attempted to strike him I would have struck him,”.
