GARY ABLETT: “We always seem to get the big players on their milestone games.
“We will see how we go at the Cattery and Gaz is as good as ever. Once he gets the ball in his hands he is as dangerous as ever because he is so quick and skilful.
We are going to have to nullify his impact along with all the other stars Geelong have. If we can bring that full team attitude and everyone plays their role then we can do it anywhere anytime. We are really adaptable and looking forward to the challenge. I’d like to see (Connor Budarick) go to him.
AFL SCHOOLS CUP: Is it on or off?
He has been consistent over his first few games and I think he could cause Gaz some headaches, especially when budders gets the ball in his hands going the other way. Any of the smaller guys down back are going to test him out both offensively and defensively. I’m excited to see who we put on him.”
