Gold Coast Suns skipper Gary Ablett requested a trade back to Geelong at the end of the 2016 season, but was knocked back by club officials.Fairfax Media is reporting that the 32-year-old informed the Suns he wanted to move back to Victoria for family reasons. While the Cats were aware of this, salary cap issues would have prevented the star from making a remarkable return to Simonds Stadium.Ablett signed a high-profile $10-million contract to be the Suns inaugural skipper before inking a three-year extension last year, and the Suns remain insistent he plays it out.While the Cats would have welcomed one of the clubs most famous products back with open arms, the Suns moved quickly to scupper any chance of him moving on.He is now expected to stand down as Gold Coasts captain.The club lost Dion Prestia (Richmond) and Jaeger OMeara (Hawthorn) during the trade period and is facing increasing questions about their inability to improve.Swell Drinkfles . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury.
