Gold Coast captain-in-waiting Tom Lynch says Geelong should stop dreaming about bringing back Gary Ablett.Abletts future has been a point of speculation since he re-injured his left shoulder two weeks ago, with Geelong coach Chris Scott still hoping the dual Brownlow medallist might return to the Cats.Im probably like most Geelong supporters on this one. Ive always held on to the pipe dream that he might come back one day, Scott told Footy Classified on Monday night.Lynch, expected to succeed Ablett as the Suns full-time skipper next season, is adamant the two-time Geelong premiership player is staying put on the Gold Coast.Gaz isnt going anywhere. Im very confident hell be here next year, Lynch told reporters on Tuesday.Former North Melbourne star David King has led calls for the Suns to consider trading Ablett to clear room so they can fit off-contract stars Dion Prestia and Jaeger OMeara into the salary cap.Ablett, 32, is contracted to Gold Coast to the end of 2017 and is in Melbourne seeking different medical opinions on his troublesome shoulder ahead of another round of surgery.He wont play again this year but is not expected to have any lingering effects from the injury by the time pre-season rolls around.The Suns lost Ablett, Prestia and Michael Rischitelli to serious injuries in their win over Brisbane but were they were blown away by the Western Bulldogs on Saturday in the midfield trios absence.Lynch believes it will only take a few tweaks for Gold Coast to return to winning form when they host Fremantle at Metricon Stadium this weekend.Theyll be tough. We have full faith in the midfield and the guys we pick on the weekend, he said.Weve tidied up a few things and were fully confident if we come out with the right intensity and effort, well get the four points.Erick Fedde Nationals Jersey .

In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season.

So there has been a sort of natural [existing] support there.But I think its been well recognised by the guys who got us up and going as an NRC team, and they did that off their own bat and out of their own pocket which I think is just really commendable.Ryan said the Eagles had been embraced by the community, no matter where theyd taken their homes games this season.Every time weve gone out to the country, and we played a game at Queensland Country this year, the way that the people of the town embrace you is just so great, he told ESPN.Its fantastic the way the whole community gets around you, and everyone just wants to enjoy each others company and theyre so genuine.And the reason that we take these big games back out to the country [is] because of the way people treat us when we come there.Weve got affiliations with [Sydney Shute Shield clubs] Easts and Randwick and Sydney Uni, all who have adequate facilities to host a final. But were taking this game to the country because of the way the people have behaved and treated us, and made us feel like a real part of the community.After leading the competition throughout the season, the Eagles have assumed slight favouritism for Saturday nights decider.And Ryan is expecting a tight battle, after both sides were comfortable winners in the semifinals.Their forward pack was very strong last week against the Rays and theyve got significant attacking threats in the backline, Ryan said of the Spirit.But I think weve seen in these NRC games that if the forward pack can win the physicality battle through set-piece and physicality around the field, they will be the team that unleashes their backs and will be the team that will ultimately win.Both teams have red-hot backlines and both teams have some reasonable forwards in good packs, so its going to come down to who turns up on the day and is prepared to win.
