The message, confirmed by sources close to the club, is understood to centre on the future direction of the Cats, leadership standards, and the preservation of the clubโs proud culture as Geelong prepares for its next chapter. While the exact wording remains private, insiders describe the communication as โhonest, passionate, and unmistakably Geelong.โ
Ablett Jr, whose legacy at the club is unmatched, remains one of the most influential figures in AFL history. Despite stepping away from the playing arena, his voice continues to carry enormous weight within the Cats organisation. His message is believed to reflect both concern and belief โ urging the club to remain fearless, disciplined, and uncompromising in its pursuit of excellence.
Coach Chris Scott is understood to have welcomed the message, viewing it as a sign of deep care rather than criticism. Those close to the situation say Scott values Ablettโs insight, particularly given his firsthand understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level.
Fans have reacted swiftly, flooding social media with speculation about whether the message signals a greater off-field role for Ablett Jr, a mentoring position, or simply a reminder of the standards that once defined an era of dominance.
Whatever the implications, one thing is undeniable:
When Gary Ablett Jr speaks, Geelong listens.
