Collingwood Magpies give Andrew Krakouer Time Off

[The Sleeping Giant]

Do commentators need to give a players history every time they kick a goal?

[Roger The Dodger]

Gary Ablett is very lucky not to have spent 16 months or more in jail. It must have been his Christianity that prevented him from heading there.

There were many media stories about Ablett and his Christian conversion. It also features very heavily in his recent photo book, officially sanctioned. You mustn't have read as many Ablett stories as I have over the years.

As for the GF? Not sure what that's got to do with this.
But don't worry, I'm sure there'll be a few Matthew Stokes redemption stories over the years too

ablett pleaded guilty at the tribunal once and claimed he couldn't lie as it was against his religious beliefs which he was applauded for.

That's the only time I can recall him ever going on about his christianity. The media made up
the rest.

Forgive me because I am a bit younger than the rest on here.

Didn't the Ablett issue (drugs and a young girl) happen after his football career finished?

[overloaded]

WTF does this thread have to do with Ablett anyway?
Gary Ablett Snr could have wiped his arse with Andrew Krakouer's ability

Yes

Yes Ablett Snr. did have the issues. His career was well and truly over by then. But in saying this the girl who was with Gary choose to do the drugs with Gary.

Here is a reminder of what he went to jail for.

he got 32 months for that . Maybe our soft judges here should take note....

But he was a member of the notorious "gang of 49" (40 main squad, 6 rookies, 2 international players & 1 17 yo priority draft pick).

Back on topic the Herald Sun has ran a story today saying he's back in training, excellent news for the pies.

I know it's poor taste, but that post made me thinking of those depression ads on tv at the moment...

"Andrew, how are you feeling now?"

Goneski.

Are you sure about that?

Nice work, glad you know all the ins and outs of this story
Fact of the matter is the club did the right thing by him and hopefully he can stay on track and repay the club.
Those who have had personal issues (or even mental illness) know how hard it is to perform normal everyday activities such as going to work!

Do you know what went on?

Goneski.

Are you sure about that?

Just my opinion, thought that he may have had enough.

Nevertheless, what a wonderful fairytale story, down in the dumps again only to haul himself back to the very top of the game. Truly inspiring stuff.
