The greatest footballer I've ever seen. The man had superior strength and freakish skill. We will never see any one like him again. Also the best highlights reel.

No one will ever come close to this man for freak talent. No one.

Some of those marks towards the end are just insane, never saw Cary or Matthews do that.

I saw that goal off the ground live against the eagles at subi... i was behind the goals... we hated him, he was a goal freak 😂 never missed ... no curse would work 😂

He basically maxed every attribute of the ideal player. Athleticism, skill, footy nous, strength, speed, courage... to that end, probably only Matthews could hold a candle, though he wasn't nearly as athletic

Ablett Snr is the most complete footballer I have ever seen. Incredible natural talent.

I’m biased being a Geelong supporter but easily the most freakishly talented footballer I’ve ever seen. He just read the flight of the ball so much better than anyone I have ever seen play (watching footy for over 40 years) We’re lucky a lot of his highlights are on film, but I still vividly recall the buzz in the crowd whenever he went near the ball, and that is sadly something that couldn’t be captured…

Absolutely. He was a specimen 💯. I’m almost 50 years old and follow many sports that are played throughout the world. I will always maintain the Gary Ablett sr is the most gifted athlete I’ve ever seen. A once in a century phenomenon.

when they say Ablett has taken a miraculous mark or kicked a miraculous goal they could have used the word standard or ordinary because for him it was no miracle

Absolutely. Jon he attempted a mark in the center of the ground in the 89 prelim v essendon. A one handed screamer. Would have been mark of the century.

@stuartcallaghan3285 I went to that game at VFL Park. Probably his best game ever. Played on a half forward flank and was scintillating. Done some team things which is something often overlooked in his game. Many fans view him as a selfish player which is not the case. That mark would have been an absolute ripper.

If only Malcolm Blight had a keen eye for defense, and not all out attack, that Geelong team may have a won a premiership or two.

To be fair he was really only guilty of that in 89 (and only did it because the Hawks were so unbeatable in their forward line). They had some great defenders in the 90s in Hinkkey, Mansfield, McGrath, Handley, Rogers and O'Reilly but struck West Coast in their peak years. 91 was a big chance (should have won the 91 prelim as WC hardly ever played at Waverley and 92 were 5 goals up in the GF). 94, to quote Blight, WC were at their zenith
