Wayne Carey vs Gary Ablett Snr.

[@lincolnbreen2628]

Ablett could do things no one else can do. He was unbelievable.

[@VideoAssociates]

Ablett was the best player of the the Sport has ever seen, it was a joy growing up and seeing AFL at its best early 1990s

@J G You say soccer is "massive in over 240 countries", but right now there's just 195 countries in the entire world! Just 195. If you can't even get that easily-found fact close to right, why would anyone take seriously anything else you've written?

[@BigRamifications]

Gary Ablett Sr was an absolute genius. He was hard, freakish, could kick a ball 50m either side of his body, punch a torp 60m into the breeze on the run (and it is rumoured he did this on the left, but I never saw that), leap higher than any ruckman of any era, outmuscle the strongest full backs and take one-arm speccies, run into a congested pack and come out with the ball, deliver a bump so hard that it could puncture the lungs of bearded giants, outsprint (in the 1980s at least) 90% of the competition, snap a goal from over his shoulder (again either side) from any pocket.... what else, need I go on? There is evidence of all of this.... look at the highlights. The guy simply was the most talented player going around, he was a footballing superman! This does not mean he was the best full forward, or the best wing, or the greatest half forward.... he transcended positions to a great extent and that in itself is his greatest attribute. To argue that any other player had these abilities is fruitless. I haven't seen 150 years of football, so sure I don't know, and yes there are better players in individual aspects.... but simply put: Ablett Sr was the package. Add to this, he played in a fairly tough era where umpire intervention was minimal - eg. defenders were allowed to scrag and chop - and you may come to an appreciation of the guy's abilities. If you really want to compare him to modern day stars, well then there is no comparison. Franklin can't take a pack mark nor use the other side of his body and to tell the truth doesn't put his head over it that much, Riewoldt has no distance on his kicks and just doesn't have awareness, Brown is bloody good at his best but again although having the courage and Careyesque stature, the freakish side of his game is not there. Pavlich at the very top of his game can do some pretty special things, and is actually quite similar to Ablett Sr as a package - it's just that he is about 80% of that full package! Comparing to stars of yesteryear, Mr Football was a tough as guts CHB but rarely went elsewhere, Leigh Matthews was just round ball tough, but certainly didn't have the skills of Ablett Sr (although he more than made up for it with his tenacity), Coleman didn't play the game long enough. I won't go on too long.... never really saw these players anyways. Ablett Sr without a doubt is the most talented footballer, certainly that I have seen. Again, he just had the whole package, abilities in every conceivable area. It does not mean he was the most valuable player to a team, but Captain Farking Obvious would have to agree that there has not been another player since who consistently displays these all-round abilities.

[@danielboeren7715]

youve got no argument from me finally someone with an abundance of knowlege and brains carey is still at the start line when abletts crossing the finish line thats how big the gap is to any other player in history that includs matthews farmer whitten jezza skilton barassi colman and any other name ya wanna throw up

[@Ash_18037]

As a cats supporter that 1994 prelim final was possibly the best game I've ever been to. Yes the Cats won because Ablett marked after the siren, but main reason was Carey was pretty much uncontrollable most of the game and the win was so unexpected. Two almost perfect players, two imperfect people. I don't think anyone can be a perfect person AND a perfect player.

[@chrisserong4966]

Ablett's goal at 2:15 against the Pies where he fights off Kelly, busts through a tackle and puts it through post high in the wet is one of the best goals I've ever seen.

[@simonworkman4451]

Dam straight 😉

[@MrDtrain69]

Kinda like asking you to pick a favourite child. Ablett is the best footballer I've seen in my lifetime (I'm 53) his final series in 1989 was the greatest three weeks I've ever seen one player put together, he was an unbelievably skilled footballer. Wayne Carey is that close to Ablett it's a whisker in it. Watching North on a Friday night was compulsory viewing in the 1990's, King Carey ruled in those days. Two absolute guns who were the pre-eminent players of their generation. Highlights package of these two would go for two weeks. The goal Ablett kicked against West Coast where he scoops it up at full speed was one of the great under appreciated goals of all time in my opinion. In the same game he balked right and left Michael Brennan grasping thin air and kicked it from 50 on his left. I will never forget those two goals as an Eagles fan.

[@MrDtrain69]

The greatest forward of all time vs one that wouldnt make a lot of people top 10. No debate here. Nothing against Carey he was amazing. But there's an undeniable gap between how good they were. Ablett's lack of accolades are almost a kick in the face to how incredible he was. Should of been a premiership player, brownlow medalist and half a dozen more best and fairests. 10 goals in a losing game for 0 brownlow votes. It will be a great day when only midfielders arent considered for the brownlow cause its just in my opinion rigged to all shit.

[@tst8720]

Realising only now, how privileged I was being on the outer at Kadinia Park from around 1987-1996 watching Gaz. After he retired, I had a recurring dream of him coming out of retirement, only to wake up and realise that a 40 or 50-something-old Gaz was disappointingly still retired. Oddly decades on, we've never seen anything like him.

[@chrisserong4966]

All comes down to what you want to see as a fan. These are the 2 greatest forwards I’ve ever seen. If you want a player to get people to watch football and sheer excitement, Ablett is no. 1 but if you want your team to win, Carey for his dominance and leadership

carey is better than ablett if u want freakish and a player that makes your jaw drop with his ability u take ablett u want the best u take carey leigh matthews said careys the best player he has seen and he knows more about football than anyone the amount of times north needed a lift and carey provided it was amazing his 2 finals in 94 against hawthorn and geelong on a injured calf where the stuff of legend for the best part of a decade norths entire game plan was get the ball kick it long to carey and no player or team could stop him on a regular basis jackovick did beat carey a bit but theres also games when carey dominated jackovich and its always harder for a chf to impact a game careys the best ive seen

[@danielboeren7715]

I usually look into these at depth and really break it down, but there is no point in this one, Gary Ablett Snr wins most of the stats, I like so many view the Duck (Carey) as the best ever but if you are being honest you tend to have to look again at Gary Ablett Snr, both could win you a game, Carey in my opinion played the harder position, Ablett more often than not played full forward our out of a pocket had Billy and Stoneham up the ground, the Duck at Centre Half Forward had to be play up the field more and had to take more marks running back into the pack, he could use space to lose his opponent more easily than Gary Ablett Snr, I guess the only way I can separate them is to look at who did what in games that mattered most, Gary Ablett Snr was a big stage player, not many players boast kicking 9 in a losing GF, the Duck if we are honest had some big games too, but he also had a pretty big flop where he helped the Crows win the flag in 1998. If I was buying a player for my team and these two were the same money I would go with Gary Ablett Snr

Carey he stands out in games that he needs to

[@brianbonney3274]

I dont think winning games and premierships has alot to do with why they are being compared..if that was the case there is nothing you need to watch..this is about pure football ability and its very very close..id say ablett just..just

[@danielboeren7715]

what did ablett do in the 89 final series idiot 27 (still a record now) and 9 in a losing grand final yeah but he did nothing in big games

[@Sabumnim666]

CHF the hardest position in AFL and no one comes close to Carey Ablett was great but really was only a shortish kick was awarded some marks that really were no where near being a mark but got a lot of accolades. Carey was not looked after by the umps "big mouth" and did a lot more as a real all skilled AFL Champ. SO NO Question The Duck Is King.

[@geoffrosenberger5221]

Shortish kicks? Do you call 60m short?

[@victorpetroff830]

Did you ever see Gary kick those kicks he did on the run obviously not

[@stuartcallaghan1375]

Shortish kicks 😂😂😂what planet are you on! Arguably the biggest kick of all time.

Ablett more of a freak but Carey the best player I ever saw

[@jewdavid5627]

I would pick Carey first if I was picking a side.
