Ablett Out!!!

Geelong's superstar $474k midfielder Gary Ablett is out of this weekend's clash with Brisbane at the GABBA due to a calf problem.

Ablett's withdrawal creates problems for the 126,000 DT coaches who own him as he's typically an automatic captain selection.

Along with Ablett, Geelong's $275k forward Travis Varcoe is out as well with a shoulder problem.

In a media release from Geelong, it is claimed both should be available to play in Round 16 against Melbourne.

Replacing the pair in the Cats team for this weekend are $181k midfielder Kane Tenace and $86k midfielder Nathan Djerrkura.
