Article from 3AW is saying Geelong will get two first round draft picks, and will likely trade "a premiership player" to GWS for a third first round pick.

Discuss.

ONE OF football’s longest running sagas has come to a end with Geelong star Gary Ablett accepting a multi-million dollar deal to join Gold Coast.

Ablett’s decision to sign with the AFL’s 17th club was revealed by Suns CEO Travis Auld and senior coach Guy McKenna at a packed media conference at Melbourne’s Crown Casino on Wednesday.

Ablett was present at the media conference.

The 26-year-old, who won the 2009 Brownlow Medal and was runner-up this season, has signed with Gold Coast for five years.

Geelong recruited Ablett under the father-son rule in 2001. Since making his debut in 2002, he has played 192 games and booted 262 goals.

His brilliant form during the past four seasons has helped the Cats dominate the competition, winning premierships in 2007 and ’09.

Details of the compensation provided to the Cats will be announced later.

The news of Ablett’s defection is a bitter blow for the Cats, as it comes just a day after senior coach Mark Thompson told the club he was reconsidering his position.

Thompson was widely tipped to quit Geelong on Tuesday and take up the offer of a senior assistant coaching role at Essendon - the club he previously captained - under its new boss James Hird.

But Cats chief executive Brian Cook later revealed that Thompson, who has a year to run on his contract, was suffering from exhaustion.

Cook insisted that he does not believe the dual premiership coach will join the Bombers.

Geelong has asked Thompson to decide by the weekend whether he can commit to the club for another season.
