Tom Lonergan Responds To Suggestions Gary Ablett Could Pinch His Old Number

So, what number is Gary Ablett wearing next year?

One of them might have been struck from contention.

Geelong posted an investigation on what numbers were actually available, with relatable numbers - the 29 he wore at Geelong, the 9 he wore at Gold Coast and the 5 his father wore - all already taken.

Some of the numbers available include Andrew Mackie's number 4 and Darcy Lang's number 11.

What about Tom Lonergan's number 13?

Maybe not.

The former Geelong champ responded to the article on Twitter, putting it in some doubt.

"Gaz called me about taking 13, I told him to work on his spoiling then come back to me," he wrote.

Gotta live up to it, Gaz!
