I'd love to see him in Red and white. Oh well, I can always dream.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

Life's too short to do something that make you unhappy. No matter how great it might seem to those of us who watch from the sidelines all the crap that goes along with it; the training, the constant media attention, the fanatics isn't enjoyable for some and turns you off that 120 minutes game time.
I admire him for making this decision in the face of all those who are going to bag him for not being grateful enough.
Good luck to him.Comment

Hear bloody hear!!
If he doesn't want to do it, why do it?! There will be critics who write he is lazy or soft or a sook or fails to understand there are thousands of young blokes who would die to be in his position.
Too right - and he is honest enough to step aside for someone with the dedication and commitment to doing it.
At least he is rounded enough as an individual to realise it.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

From my memory he was coerced into playing AFL in the first place.
Had no interest by he was hounded into playing.
My "lazy" comment was aimed at him telling the truth.
It could also be transalated into "I don't give a @@@@ anymore, and I never did"Comment

Lazy wanker he is. Luckily wins a premiership with Geelong and then walks away. Some players like Tom Hawkins who will play for Geelong with all they've got, might not win a premiership.
The only reason why he made the Grand Final team was because of his last name. Before that he was in bad form.
Hawkins >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>N Ablett in my opinion.
Nathan Ablett's heart was never been in it from the beginning. Why should he be given a free ride by Geelong because of his name, when others in the game, have to work their arses off to make it big.
Geelong won't miss him, and they don't need him. The club will always be bigger than the individual. My words maybe be harsh, but Geelong don't need that crybaby. If only I could earn the amount he's getting. I wouldn't be claiming to feel the pressure. I'll be loving the opportunity that has been given me.

That's the whole point, he isn't asking for a free ride, in fact he is specifically declining that free ride by deciding to call it a day so to not deceive himself, his club or his teammates.
Some may bemoan the fact that most people would give their left nut to be in his position, but he doesn't have the passion and whilst it may be hard for an outsider to understand, that's the way it is.
Your post is so far off the mark the interchange bench is in danger of being hit.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

What? So you disagree with me so my post is going to get deleted? Gee sorry to have an opinion.
I guess Hawkins isn't better than N Ablett because the post is way off the mark.
I guess N Ablett was in great touch before the Grand Final because the post is way off the mark.
I guess I'm just wrong hey? If you're a moderator delete the post, because I'm not allowed to have an opinion here because it may disagree with yours.

According to your theory because I'm new to these forums, I know nothing about Football? hmm....Interesting.

Jesus.
Another thread where you really have to think about whether or not to post because of the drivel contained in some of the comments.
BFD, the guy doesn't want to play footy any more.
It's his job.
I wonder if those who criticised would stay with a job they didn't like because of popular demand.
He got what he wanted and moved on.
Kind of like Bjorn Borg who retired at 26 being one of the all time great tennis players.
It's kind of weird to me that so many people would be upset about Nathan Ablett deciding to move on to a new stage of his life, or whatever he chooses - footy or not.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

I don't think the guy ever really wanted to play in the AFL.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

He'll probably return by mid-2008 or 2009.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!! :adoreComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
