Gary Ablett has been ruled out of Gold Coast’s round 14 match against St Kilda on Sunday.

Ablett sustained a calf injury in last Saturday’s match against Carlton and failed to pass a fitness test on Friday despite completing extensive rehab on the injury throughout the week.

The 33-year-old was due to play his 300th career game.

GM Football Operations, Marcus Ashcroft said it was disappointing news for all.



“Really disappointing for Gary, his family and the footy club - waiting for his much anticipated 300th game,” he told goldcoastfc.com.au.

“Gary hurt his calf in last weekends game, he had been rehabbing it all week.”

“Unfortunately today trying to complete some rehab runs, didn’t get through those at all.

“He’d been working really hard the last few days, we know he’s the ultimate professional, and he did everything he could.”



Kade Kolodjashnij has also been ruled unavailable for Sunday’s match with concussion.

Josh Schoenfeld and Trent McKenzie come into the 25-man line up, which will be trimmed to 22 at 5pm on Friday.
