Ablett set to play in Grand Final
September 19 2002
Young Geelong midfielder Gary Ablett is set to play in this Sunday's VFL Grand Final against Port Melbourne, providing he gets through a fitness test on Friday. Ablett, 18, was a late withdrawal from the Preliminary Final with an injured calf muscle.
As well as regaining Gary Ablett, injury prone Geelong veteran Mitchell White has been cleared to play after receiving a suspended sentence from the VFL tribunal (see bottom right).
